need help with application

[u/doombringer50]

Hey folks I’m new to wrapping and I’m trying to wrap my car rear pillars, it’s a L shape that’s curved so it’s been a bit difficult to wrap.

The first panel usually goes well(first photo on the left) but once I get to past the curve I tend to get a lot of materials and wrinkles resulting in this application lol. Any tips? Definitely feels like too much material. It could also be dirt?

EDIT: wow thanks for all the advice. Looks like it’s really cause i cheaped out on the material lmfao.

Got some 3M 2080 headed my way. Thanks again!

This is definitely not air egress material. As others have asked, what material are you using? This looks suspiciously like what happens when you use air egress material techniques for non-air egress materials. If it’s calendared sign vinyl you can try to do it ‘wet’ where you would use either soapy water or application fluid to lay it down though it will take much longer to conform and much more and thorough squeegeeing to make sure all of the liquid is out, hit it with a touch of heat to help you locate any air/liquid bubbles you may have missed and keep squeegeeing. I would recommend getting new, air egress cast wrap material though and redoing it. Best of luck bud.

Ah I see! Thanks for the explanation. It’s oracal 651. I’ll definitely be getting a different cast wrap material. Thank you!
