And its forgiving but mess-up costs money, I like perfection, more time consuming but do once and do right.
i dont get this? everytime i have messed up with di noc you simply apply heat to it and you can get it back to its original formation very easily and leaves no marks or any other imperfection. you dont need to keep replacing the di noc.

If you stretch it too much, it doesn't go back even with heat. Also, if you don't address wrinkles right away, they are almost impossible to get rid of.
