Tenfour86 41 Posted August 4, 2015 A physical therapist friend of mine asked me about putting his company logo on a portable therapy table that he has. I've never made anything for such a flexible surface before and I'm not really sure what, if anything, would work best for a surface like this. From what I can tell, the table is covered with a vinyl fabric and has about three or so inches of padding underneath it. The logo would cover a good portion of the table top. Any suggestions?

Quitetitan4 90 Posted August 4, 2015 I would think Heat transfer would do best...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted August 4, 2015 Heat Transfer vinyl however ask him if he knows what its made of before you go and do anything with the vinyl. Ots probably pleather which is plastic leather.or something of that sort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quitetitan4 90 Posted August 4, 2015 It does seem to stick well to clean vinyl. I messing around with my Jeep tire cover with Greenstar and it seemed to stick well although I didn't leave it applied. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quitetitan4 90 Posted August 4, 2015 Do you have a Jeep Wild? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted August 4, 2015 I have had 7 over the years. Big fan of there CJ's but my last was a 93 wrangler and was lifted about 10" with 1 ton axles and all that. The newer ones like your's with coil springs are superior for building purposes. I am currently building (very slowly) a 96 Toyota Landcruiser and I'm toning down the overall concept because my best friend (my wife) doesn't enjoy the brutality of rock crawling but loves to go out into the hills. So far I am enjoying the plus ride and air-conditioning. A bit heavy but very well built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quitetitan4 90 Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah there girl ed up a little now it's stock and desperately needs parts <poor> . I really like the Land cruiser we have one that we just aquired. It has potential but a little rough. Was thinking about wrapping it camo to sell for hunting season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tenfour86 41 Posted August 5, 2015 I'll definitely double check that it is in fact vinyl before doing anything. It looked like it was, but I didn't actually feel it myself to be sure. I've considered going the heat transfer route. Should I be thinking of just a standard HTV or would something more specialized like easyweed stretch or easyweed extra be worth looking into? Two questions about heat transfer: 1. Would an iron calibrated to the correct temperature work ok for installation? 2. Being a padded table, I won't be able to place a whole lot of pressure on it during installation. Will this be a problem? Good to know that 651 is a possibility also if all else fails. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typical foam will produce medium pressure like a press pillow so assuming the foam doesn't melt altogether you should be fine. That's still a bit of an assumption you should talk over with your client. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
