How to install contax 139 covering.
1. Remove the Original covering. If it is sticky, you could dip a little alcohol. |
||
2. Strip whole original covering and clean up the surface with alcohol. |
3. I strongly reccomend to use Rubber cement (you can find at DIY shop) for strengthen the edges (half-tone portions above photo). then you will get better result. |
|
4. Rub rubber cement, this is bad example. You do not need so much. |
5. Rub rubber cement thinly and dry it well. |
|
6. Start to install the new covering. |
7. You could dip a little alcohol or water on your finger, the work will be easier. |

8. Remove the covering from the base paper. |
9. Reverse the covering. You are facing the adhesion side. |
|
10. Rub alcohol on the adhesion side. |
11. Place the covering on the body before alcohol get dry. The alcohol delays the adhesion and allows you time to position and adjust the skin, before alcohol gets dry |
|
12. Apply the edge part. |
13. The next part, it is the same process. Rub the alcohol on adhesion side. |
|
14. Apply covering on the camera. |
15. Apply the edge part. You do not need to stretch the covering. |
|
16. As for the backdoor part, you could rub the alcohol on half-tone portion like above photo. |

17. Apply backdoor covering from the edge. |
18. Do not stretch the covering. |

19. Leave around the film reminder portion, you will apply later. |
20. Apply the edge. |
