may0024 0 Posted August 9, 2010 I have a customer that ordered a design for wall application. I use Oracal 631. After applying the design, there are areas of some letters that are not adhering to the wall. NOW the customer tells me the design has been applied over lightly textured wallpaper. (I do have disclaimers about applying to wallpaper & textured surfaces.) She is asking me if there is an adhesive that she can use to keep the letter from falling off. She is ADAMANT that she wants the letters on her wall. The circles that she ordered are adhering well with no problems. Has anyone run into this dilemma & used 3M adhesive spray or something similar to adhere the parts that are not staying? Or should I try a different font? The current one has decorative trendrils. Thanks for any input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luvmydane 1 Posted August 11, 2010 I had this issue on my moms wall with 631 as well; the tennis ball works great. It has been up for 5 months and no issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iy helps to push down the vinyl into the texture. Yes Johns right on as usual tennis ball works great in Florida almost all walls have rough texture and the tennis ball works good. Have her maybe try to clean the wall a little if she can might have a light film of dust or grease that can't be seen .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyjeeper 1 Posted August 12, 2010 If you still have issues, hit it with a combo of heat gun and tennis ball. This technique has gotten 631 to stick for me on some of the most textured surfaces I've seen on walls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
