Jerry Bonham 1 Posted January 31, 2008 I don't know about the US however here in Australia i have watched hundreds being made up. All were done dry. Experiment and find what works for you -- ALWAYS. Trusts this helps Jerry from SignBlazer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fivestar Posted January 31, 2008 I do them both wet and dry. I try to do them dry if possible because it is quicker, but if there is alot of different colors I do them wet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 31, 2008 I do them dry because wet takes forever on Coroplast. here is a tip (thanks to Beardown) that has saved me many hours of work...I use a TENNIS BALL to rub the vinyl into the grooves in coroplast(after a regular sqeegie),always rubbing in the direction of the grooves,never across.l I get total adhesion,no bubbles. That Tennis ball was the cheapest tool I ever had to buy and probably the one I use the most, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rose 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Wow!!! I would never have thought of that one!!! Thanks for the great tip! I will be going out to buy a tennis ball as soon as it quits snowing here!! Rose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Terry Posted January 31, 2008 The tennis ball is also used on rivets (trailers, semis etc...) I do wet and dry, depends on how many colors to line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 31, 2008 Good point there Terry...when I have to layer on coroplast, I usually do the first layer dry,and then the others wet. One thing about the tennis ball...if you have a dog,don't drop it on the floor. They usually don't like giving it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
