Poured this one Monday. Turned it Thursday. Pulled the clamps off after the glue dried today. Was trying for camo.. I think this is close as I can get with the colors that I have.

This has nothing to do with vinyl or sign making. But I wanted to show what I do in my spare time. These are a couple pot calls ( turkey calls ) that I poured and turned a while back. I love this type of work almost as much as sign making. Thanks for looking.

So, I think this is probably my biggest decal so far. It is about 5' x 8'. I used 651 since that is what I had on hand. It was pretty challenging, the decal would not stick to the wall at all due to the texture and guessing slickness of the paint. I didn't think to bring a heat gun and being about 45 mins from home I started to worry... lucky there was a group of contractors there and one had happen to have a heat gun that he let me borrow. It seemed to do the trick so hopefully it'll stay on there. Sorry for the bad picture the lighting wasn't very good.

I'd love to see a video of this process, if you get bored over the winter you should make one

That is very cool work, for sure. Could you make a mold with a 3D printer? Is the mold a special type of material, or simply a form that has a release agent applied before pouring in the liquid - like spraying a cake pan with Pam? Cal

Are they the same color?, is it bigger then your page set in VM?. Never had that kind of problem

1023. Sliver/Black Glitter HTV. Used an Xacto knife, fingernails and my child's light up coloring board. "Yes, I Drive a Stick Witch".
