Did you remove the INCREDIBLY CLEAR backing from the film? All of the film has a protective backing on the adhesive side that has to be removed. Sometimes it is very difficult to see and remove. You have to kind of crinkle it up on an edge or use an x-acto knife to pick at it and get it to peel up. I have done this also. I thought I had removed it. No matter how much you try it won’t stick!

I do my initial stick down around 100c, 200f and than i come back at 280f when all done to shrink.
i have these numbers from the instructions on some Parklite hangar 9 ultracote and have been using them on the aloft colored covering now for a couple years and it works great.

It can be difficult to remove the backing. I use a small piece of blue painters tape on each side of a corner to pull it apart. Once I start to pull the backing off I try and make sure that the stickly side does not touch itself as it will stick itself together especially in a warm environment. Once the backing is remover this covering lays quite flat on the surface to be covered. It will start to stick at a very low temperature around 200 F. Use as low a temperature as possible to get it properly located. It actually sticks very well but is also easier to remove than UC which may leave adhesive residue.

Try heating a corner of the film and see if it shrinks back from the backing
