ericsch333 0 Posted March 29, 2013 what do you guys think would be the best vinyl to stick to a metal sufface ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted March 29, 2013 I don't know why any of them wouldn't, I put vinyl on aluminum all the time. If it's for long term Oracal 751 or short term Oracal 651 or 631. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeygirl 30 Posted March 29, 2013 Is the surface painted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericsch333 0 Posted March 29, 2013 no it's blue it would be for gun barrels and stocks most stocks are wood or plastic so it's the blued surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 29, 2013 so you will also be dealing with heat and solvents - kinda important info there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted March 29, 2013 Most vinyls should work just fine - if however you're planning on firing these weapons, the barrel temperatures will most likely exceed the recommended temperature range on most calendared vinyls and will lead to premature adhesive failure. Oracal 651 is rated to 176° when adhered to metal - 951 is rated to 230°. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericsch333 0 Posted March 29, 2013 This will be for the stock and the lower not a lot of heat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted March 29, 2013 not sure about you but I wipe the stock down with oil also . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edge 67 Posted March 29, 2013 I've seen a number of guys* shooting trap locally with various cut vinyl graphics added to both the firearm's furniture and receivers. The guys I shoot with and I have done some goofy things with what I've cut in the past.... but never have we done anything this goofy; honestly. Unless you have a weapon which experiences a good deal of rapid fire.... I'm telling ya, I've seen it work. Now I gotta ask, why would anyone wanna mark up a gun with vinyl graphics? The only explaination I've come up with is it started in the clubhouse bar as a joke about how hard it was to find their gun in the rack and got carried away from there? * Of the few women I see shooting trap, none would be caught with vinyl graphics on their guns.
