SignGame 0 Posted June 8, 2009 I need help , can I fix a wrinkle in an install w/ a heat gun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted June 8, 2009 It has happened to me. If it is close to the border, what I do is I lift the letter or item and place it again. i've done it a few times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SignGame 0 Posted June 8, 2009 Problem is the letter looks ruined for the most part. I was wondering if putting a heat gun to it would help me straighten it out,I guess I'll just end replacing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeCamaro 11 Posted June 8, 2009 Yeah, replacing it is the fastes easiest way. Just do the letter and replace it. Sometimes my girlfriend tries to save decals and with the time it takes to do so, it is better, faster and cheaper to replace it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kenya Posted June 8, 2009 Same here Joe........ easier to replace. I've had some good results with a heat gun, but it doesn't work everytime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SignGame 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks for the input everyone, I just cut a new letter, put it in tommorow. Don't wanna waste anymore time on this particular job, plus I think I can get it done before the customer realizes it ever happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midsouthprosigns 0 Posted June 9, 2009 what I have dont on an install before if a letter or part of a graphic gets a bad wrinkle is take some left over ap tape and place it over what I am peeling up. The ap tap on top of the vinyl helps it from stretching... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted June 9, 2009 yes, I do. I bought 4 about a year ago and 3 are still in the box. MOney well spent. I don't go to sign shows and my local supplier delivers a lot cheaper than I can drive the 25 miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alien 11 Posted June 11, 2009 The lil chizlers work good on removing those decals on new fiberglass showers too. And that double stick tape the wife uses to stick hooks everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
