DC Fix 346-0038 Adhesive Film, Mahogany Wood

We had an old mahogany veneer topped occasional table that got ruined over the years from a leaky plant container. The rest was sturdy, but the piece wasn't worth new wood veneer. I really liked the result from this product. I used wood filler before applying (I gouged the substrate in a few places) but should have gone one more round after sanding. It resulted in a couple of subtle dimples that I could have avoided. The picture makes it look more red than it actually is, but it IS red Mahogany.

This is so useful and looks great. This very durable and easy to apply. The stickiness is perfect for easy applications.

I bought this to cover some 3D printed panels I made for an old Sony tape deck that did not have the original panels included when I bought it used. I took the dimensions off the Sony manuals and printed replacements. As they were plastic, I needed to cover them with a mahogany/cherry wood laminate and, instead of buying expensive laminate sheets at the hardware store (much larger than I needed and way more expensive) I found this product which looked like it would work. It has a very good random wood grain pattern, has the proper color of real mahogany and is very easy to cut and apply. It makes the panels look like the original Sony panels such that you likely would not be able to tell unless you removed them from the tape deck so this product did exactly what I needed it to do. I also used it to cover a 3D printed box that contains desktop audio components (pre-amp, amp and switcher) and it looks like a real mini-audio system with wood laminate. So another successful use of the remaining roll. I'm not sure the adhesive will hold up over a long period of time so I'll have to monitor that but, for now, it seems to be holding on nicely. It does have a vinyl smell to it but that goes away after a while. If you need a wood-like vinyl laminate and don't want to spend a lot of money, this product should work for you.

I have a dresser that is quite a few years old where the factory covering on the top was delaminating, curling and peeling off. I currently do not have the funds for replacing the entire bedroom set but had lots of time on my hands so I thought I would spend the $10 or so to give this a try. I took a heat gun and a paint scraper and peeled the factory laminate from the top, cleaned the surface of glue residue and bought this product hoping the color would be close. It turned out as good as I could have imagined. The product itself seems relatively durable and lays down fairly easy. It even allows for some repositioning if you work in smaller increments and do not apply a lot of pressure initially. Take your time and work it from the center out while starting on one end and working your way to the other, you will be much less likely to have bubbles this way. I initially thought that I could line up one or even two of the edges but then realized it would be easier to just allow overhang all the way around and then trim it. You can also wrap edges if that works for your particular application. If you do find a bubble or two, pierce with an xacto knife or razor blade tip and push out the air working away from and then towards the pierce. Trimming is done best with a single edge razor blade, these will cut through this material like butter. I used a level as a straight edge to assist in my trimming where the top met the factory molding on three edges, on the back its simple on the square edge to just run the blade along the edge as your guide. Once completely down and bubbles removed, I used a wide blade putty knife and a heavy cotton sock (athletic type) placed around the knife to then push the vinyl down with more force. So far the adhesion seems to be excellent. Well worth the investment! BTW - if you would be putting this onto a hard non porous surface, I would recommend applying this with a spray bottle and some water with one or two drops of dish soap in the bottle, spray the hard surface as well as the vinyl and lay in place, then push bubbles out working from the center out in all directions using a method similar to what I described earlier with a squeegee of some sort - again protect the surface with a towel, sock, heavy paper wipe, etc.

I have a table between two recliners in which the finish was wearing off the top. Besides that the table was fine. After pricing a similar table I purchased the DC Fix to see if I could correct the top myself. It looks great! Can't even tell that it is a vinyl adhesive cover. My hardest part on this was getting the piece lined up to start. The width of the roll was exactly the size I wanted so I had to position it near perfectly and then start working it down the top. It took several times to line it up where I wanted. But with that being said, the adhesive allows one to pull it up and reposition it. It does not adhere tightly for 24 to 48 hours (not sure of exact time) which gives ample time to work with it. I also purchased the d-c fix applicator kit to smooth the vinyl down. I didn't experience many bubbles in the application like some reviewers said. The few I had I was able to lift the film and smooth it down again. All in all, this is a great product. I'm thinking of purchasing more to do the tops of a couple more older table.

Our two pieces of furniture, a head-bed and a night stand were old and did not match in color other bedroom furniture (mahogany). We spent hours searching stores on-line trying to buy a replacement. We could not find anything we liked and the delivery times were too long. Then we thought about covering our old pieces of furniture with the right color paper. It took three whole days to finish but the result was amazing! Now our bedroom looks amazing - all pieces beautifully matched. Highly recommend.

I purchased this product to make some interior enhancements to my car. I was pleased to find that the material is thicker than contact paper and very substantial. I was also pleased that the material received was very close in color to the picture on the website. As has been said in other reviews, the more patient you are, the better job you'll produce. As for applying on round edges, the secret is to make many small cuts which will allow you to make many folds around the edge, rather than just trying to wrap the material around the rounded corner and hope it will look okay--which it won't. I wood grained the center stack in my car and the center door trims, and everyone says it looks factory! I had to do some disassembly of the dash to insure a really professional look. The mahogany effect adds a bit of class and gives warmth to the interior which was really very gray. Again, the final outcome depends on your skill level. I can recommend this product with confidence to anyone.

Love the color. Not very sticky.. Makes me nervous because it's going on my cabinet doors... But for the price I didn't expect much different! Arrived a day early! Fingers crossed it sticks for a long time!

Ottimo prodotto si stende bene, attacca bene e resiste bene. In giro non n trovavo di questo colore, quindi, anche il prezzo per me è ok

It requires experience and knowledge to use. I quite like it

This product is great! Very easy to use and forgiving. I was able to peel off and re-apply a couple of times before letting it set with no sticky mess and no heat needed to apply the veneer flat. To do corners using heat makes it very flexible and stretchy without losing the grain or look of the material. Once it is set after a few hours it it is much harder to peel off so no worries of the glue not holding. Highly recommended

Très satisfait

Have used this product now for a good number of years. Even with my limited DIY skills I find it easy to use and quite forgiving of mistakes. Faced all my kitchen cupboards with this over a decade ago and with a regular cleaning it has lasted well. Used this particular roll to cover an old shelf to match with a new corner unit and it sits as a perfect match. Only real complaint is that you cannot seem to buy ut in greater lengths than 2 metres, or have I missed it ?
