I brought my console to be wrapped by a professional and he had to put a seam on the left side by the bottom. How did you get the vinyl to stretch and not rip?

Amazing job - what techniques did you use to wrap the tight corners particularly on the instrument panels around the push switches on either side of the instrument cluster. I'm struggling to wrap with carbon fiber and not have stretch lines.

I am using vinyl heat press printer. Try wrapping just a little tighter next time. If they're too tight, loosen them the time after that. Shouldn't take more than a couple sessions to find the right amount of tension.

If I'm hitting the bag hard I get small abrasions on my knuckles too. And I wrap my wraps fairly tight. So if you're going hard on the bag it might just be something you deal with. But maybe someone else can confirm or deny that.

I don't think we will ever find out since the OPs last post was back on 05/03/2016

Welcome to the forum. There's nothing particularly harmful about commenting on old threads, although it's often irrelevant. It bothers some people more than others.

Commenting on a reply to a comment of a reply of a comment on an old post is just ridiculous.
