First Big Window Job

Recommended Posts

So I got a 4 window store front job and here is what I ended up with.

Could not get the door decal to cut worth anything, so I ended up

having to cut it on a summa cutter.

Let me know what you think of this first timer.

The little one in the pic is my little helper...loves to help Dad!!

That turned out awesome, little helper right. She did all the work and you took the credit.  ;D ;D ;D  I would also like to know what kind of problems you had and which cutter?

The details of the pinup would cause the vinyl to start coming up. Tried all kinds of settings

with better results, but not good enough. I needed the eyes to look good.

Using the refine mh721. I think it was a combination of the vinyl and the cutter.

Same vinyl on the summa worked a lot better, but still wanted to come up.

Ended up cutting her seperately from the letters and worked perfectly.

Sorry, Can't share image is copyrighted.

For the three big windows and the door I charged $150 plus install.

Install took about 2 hrs. This was my first one.

I installed the three big windows dry and the door wet.

Wet took a lot longer than I thought to dry out. Just used water,

will have to add some alcohol next time to speed it up.

Had to be real careful to remove mask as it wanted to pull up

all of the vinyl, so then I had to wait some more and try again.

All in all went pretty smooth with the dry, I think I'' stick to it

for now.
