MrJoel 72 Posted September 21, 2019 Ok guys, I usually do some custom skins for my favorite customers when a new phone comes out. I got my 11 pro max today and that matte back glass seems to be adhesive resistant... no bueno! I have a few brands heated and sitting for the night! Suggestions?

I used to do some - a quality orajet or 3m printable vinyl and appropriate laminate along with a solvent printer and laminator ($15,000 will get you set up with equipment before supplies) and you are off and running in a crowded market - - - - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually use solid color 3m 180mc (I think that’s it) and it has a higher tack than most once post heated but even my reflective wasn’t sticking. I paid for a template when I first started doing it but I have my own style now and don’t do it as much anymore... just for a few special peeps in that industry. Leave it to apple to take the most tacky surface in the world and make it have low surface energy now... jeesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
