Vermonster 111 Posted September 24, 2008 Will THis Work? Oh, I'm soooo going to hell for that.... </obnoxious eagles fan> Just pokin some fun... saw you got your panthers on the vector side If you need more, just do a google image search and if you find something, maybe we can trace one up or something.

snlsd 1 Posted September 25, 2008 Well, here is the final product. I had some problems with bubbles in the vinyl. I'm wondering if I should have put it on wet. I did an entire van dry and never had a single bubble that I can remember. This is a freebie that I'm doing for a relative, so I guess they can't complain. Still bugs the heck out of me to see bubbles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vermonster 111 Posted September 25, 2008 Question... 1. Do you use a squeegie to lay the material down or do you lay it down with your hand, then squeegie it out 2. When you remove the application tape, how do you pull it off? On big areas of vinyl, like flooding something, I like to take a wet paper towel and soak down the application tape before pulling it off. It comes off VERY easy. I've seen alot of discussion about the pulling on the vinyl adding to bubbles. NOt sure if it's true, but you tend to get paranoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snlsd 1 Posted September 25, 2008 I used the hinge method for the top and a separate hinge for the bottom section. Used a squeegie to smooth it out as I went. Pulled the app tape off at a 45 degree angle. I don't think they will mind since they were using a piece of cardboard with Sharpie lettering. I don't think you'll notice from a distance, but I don't want a potential customer to go elsewhere because of my work. Even if this sign is a freebie. I was going to put my name on the bottom corner, but I don't know if I want to promote a crappy sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vermonster 111 Posted September 25, 2008 Understood. Bubbles DO go away when it outgases, but it's the damage they cause when others see them before that happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
