  1. When I switched to the other side of the boat I did a dry install in pieces, made it a pain because the top of the fish rolled slightly on a rib due to the setback and trapped air . I hate dry installs . Would have an commercial application fluid made any difference? instead of  the alcohol and water.


  2. I forgot about temp. It's still in the 90's down here. My bad.

    Temp was mid to high sixty's. very humid , was in between rain storms.

    am I right to guess at using a higher amount of alcohol 60-70%  because of the high humidity ?


  3. This last Friday I went to install a graphic on the side of a boat , and I was having a terrible time getting the vinyl to release off the carrier sheet .

    The weather had very high humidity  and I was using 40% alcohol solution , and had more trouble getting the vinyl to stick.

    Is this due to the humidity or a problem with the release liner.

  4. I am starting to apply chip guard to cars and I am looking to find templates for the autos.

    I have searched and can't seem to find them. Has anyone any information on the templates.

    I was told they are on line but can't seem to find them.


  5. Mark try saving your work in cdr format , if you need to convert do it after you save it in the cdr format . cdr is corels native format and retains all the information .

    the cdr format is also smaller in size.

    If you need to save in both .

  6. Ran into a little trouble trying to 3D shadow from corel with signit.

    ran signit added the 3d shadow looked great on screen and paper , but when I went to cut the shadow my cutter went kind of nuts,

    thinking it was a vibrator instead of cutting some of the lines it vibrated where the line should have been. and cutting smoothly others.

    Took same graphic into Signblazer shadowed in3d and it worked fine.

    Anyone else had any problems with corel or signit?

    I Like cutting much better from Signcut but it wont' do this shadow, any help would be great.
