koletsb 9 Posted March 16, 2012 Has anyone done them? If so I have some questions Are they normally die cut? or printed? and are they normally laminated on top as well? Also do they normally involve a special type of vinyl? Any help would be great, thanks again Brandon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr12volt1338 116 Posted March 16, 2012 I do alot of names and numbers just on the back of the helmet and use just regular vinyl like I use for everything else. Most of them last a full year and are just fine for 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DC Custom 3 Posted September 30, 2015 I'm trying to do a Lion for the local high school. I have a helmet here with me, but I cant get it on wrinkle free. I'm using 651 with paper app tape. Any advise or tips for me? I've tried about 4 times and no luck. Bigger, or smaller and nothing. thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigger, or smaller and nothing. thanks! use a cast material like 751 or 951 that will take to that compound curve that 651 was never meant to do - even then you might need to add some heat 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never dealing with the 751, what is the difference, would I use the same technique to apply it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DNA_Vinyl 262 Posted September 30, 2015 I transformed an old white highschool helmet into a Bears helmet. I painted blue not wrapped or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
