slice&dice 2,450 Posted January 6, 2017 Oracal translucent 8500 over a plexi white insert face for light-box sign. There needs to be an overlap to cover full 38" width (30" vinyl across the center + 2 strips of 4" top and bottom). How to make the strips not leave dark lines where they adjoin the middle piece (double thickness at the overlap joints)? I want to avoid this -- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jburns 239 Posted January 6, 2017 Can you apply that vinyl with wet application? I would apply one 30 inch section at the top. then -'butt' up and slide the second section on the bottom. This would leave a seam, but should make a really clean joint if using factory edges of vinyl. Then trim excess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted January 6, 2017 That's what I was thinking as well. Can't think of any other options really. If the acrylic is already white, what's the purpose of the vinyl? The light too bright? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
