chadarcy 0 Posted April 3, 2011 I have a potential customer which would like a business sign for a front window, but needs to be removed from time to time. She would like the cling to attach on the inside of the window to read from the outside. I have never worked with cling before. I am assuming if it were going on the outside of the window and reading from the outside this would be no problem. I am picturing that you just lay vinyl colors ontop of the cling so that it is on the outer surface. But with it clinging to the inside of the window wouldn't you have to put the vinyl color (lettering) on the same surface of the cling that will be going on the window. Will that work, or am I going about this wrong? Please help to clarify the procedure for me. Thanks in advance! Chad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremySI 18 Posted April 3, 2011 apply it on the same side of the cling but mirror image the design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chadarcy 0 Posted April 3, 2011 apply it on the same side of the cling but mirror image the design. To make sure the way you are saying to do it the vinyl will be between the glass and the cling. If that is the case are you sure you have to mirror it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMopar64 47 Posted April 3, 2011 I would apply to the side thats not touching the glass... On the outside of the window you would cut it normal on the inside of the window you would cut it mirrored... MM64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MM64 Ok that is what I was thinking but how does that side of the vinyl look with the glue on it. Is this the normal way to do an cling being used on the inside of a window but read on the outside.

Is this the normal way to do an cling being used on the inside of a window but read on the outside. I use Orcal 651 when I do windows and it looks the same on the glue side as it does on the no glue side I think most clings are printed but I see no reason why this won't work By putting the vinyl on the out side you have all the surface of the cling on the glass MM64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chadarcy 0 Posted April 4, 2011 MM64 thanks for your help. That makes perfect sense! Chad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeremySI 18 Posted April 4, 2011 yup as i said mirror the design and put it on the regular side, it would look like complete crap if you tried to put it on the cling side. the backside of the vinyl looks just like the front. however be aware that you now have the adhesive in the sunlight so it will be exposed to more UV rays thus breaking it down quicker than normal.

Thanks I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted me to put the vinyl on the cling side, which would be against the window. Great help on this forum!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
