Great point Jamie! Yes if the handle is removed then wrapping into the door cup is of course much easier. This technique here is specifically for when you don't have the option of removing the handle. Once you have templated around the handle, you never have to do it again. For commercial style wraps, this technique can save you massive amounts of time while guaranteeing the exact same result on every vehicle! We'll work on clarifying this in our next video!
I liked the transfer technique using the squeegee as an offset and then transferring the layout using the inside of the squeegee marks. I've done that in my life but it was in a shipyard with ¼ steel, way bigger and my tool was a victor Journeyman torch. ;-). Somebody from Arlon sent me some test samples of SLX cast and SLX +. Whoever you were, thank you!
Wow, short of it being an awesome solution you made an easy job with one cut and some small amount stretching the lower cut and tucking the other over it into a massive task. If a client doesn’t want handles removed, then they are not paying the money they should so why go to the this effort and cost yourself money and time.
Hi Dorzun, yes if you have a client with one car who doesn’t want the handles removed, then it is certainly not worth going to this effort. If you have a client with 60 cars they need wrapped, then we would highly recommend investing the time in the beginning to save massive amounts of time in the long run.
Hi David, yes it is definitely for fleet or repeat work! But we see where it can be confusing in this video! We can assure you it is very beneficial in the real world.
Hi Richard - Thanks for the comment! We definitely don’t suggest using this technique for one off jobs, it is intended for repeat jobs. We'll make sure to do a better job clarifying this in our next video.
During this time I will remove all door handles
I don’t understand why you bother with this? Wouldn’t it be 100% easier to just remove the door handles...

Pro trick : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Finn Clay Yup, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :D

Nice execution, but not realistic in the real world, for a training video, yes. You can't charge enough for that. For fleet vehicles maybe.

OMG Precise but I'd rather poke my eye out with a fork than do it this way.
I'd rather remove the door handles :(
Never seen anything so ridiculous...what a waste of time
