I just apply some heat to it, and it streches from there.

front side........but dont heat it too much or it will burn.
if you heat and stretch it too much you will also loose the grain or texture to it.

if you keep the vinyl moist while heating it ( with some water in a spray bottle) its not as easy to burn the meterial thats why i use a steamer .
