Benr98 40 Posted January 17, 2009 I have a little lettering to do on a store front....was wondering what is the lowest temp you have installed graphics? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted January 17, 2009 for me... about 40 degrees. it was my first store front, and actually my first customer paying job... i was a nervous wreck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted January 17, 2009 40? lol...that's a heat wave my friend! Yes my first store front was scary too....but they thankfully do get better. It's only 12 here now...a bit to cold in my opinion...might have to wait till we get a 30 degree day! Hmmmm..wonder what month that will be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tory 0 Posted January 18, 2009 Jenny you might be in luck, they are calling for 30's next week around here. I know you are about 1.5 hrs north but maybe you'll get lucky and have a break too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GuysSign 4 Posted January 18, 2009 i've laid vinyl with snow falling! soooo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Rage Outdoors 0 Posted January 18, 2009 I agree I've laid graphics on, in the snow, hated it, but so far so good ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted January 18, 2009 I'm not concerned with the snow, cause it's been 34 out and snowing...good temps for applying vinyl...but it can also be 10 above and snowing...BIG difference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted January 18, 2009 Jenny I'd have to say 30ish myself. I've laid decals on windows when it's been down around 10-15 but they was a PIA and they was small. I'd hate to try to do a store front in those temps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks Five, I was thinking the same thing....I'd like 32 or better really. Thin lines of vinyl etc, tend to peel up quick if the temps are below that. Some of the store front has thin lines and that is one of my biggest concerns, even when I use 'Rapid Tac II' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muttley 0 Posted January 19, 2009 25 deg. for me. It was only a car decal, and I used Rapid Tac 2. My fingers were dead when I was done! :- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feben 0 Posted January 19, 2009 I'm new at this and I did a 3 layer, 2 layer, and a single on a bobcat and a mini excavator at 17F. I only used rapidtac 1 and its been holding up strong for a couple months now. I did notice with clear app tape the signs tweaked when they were exposed to the cold. But it was nice because the clear was easy to pull off so I could apply paper app to the layered signs for wet application. If that makes any sense. I'm still a n00b and going through trial an error.

bayshorecreations 30 Posted January 19, 2009 I try not to do outdoor jobs unless its at least 60 out but that's just me... I hate cold weather! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
