Benr98 40 Posted November 2, 2008 We are working on a 4 x 8 sheet of plexi....have lettering and design on one side, the customer wants the entire back of the plexi done in solid white vinyl. How would you apply it since it's not cut but solid sheets. Put application tape on and lay it out. Or just unroll it and place it on? thanks so much.

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted November 2, 2008 cut it,turn it over,apply fluid,flip it back,position it,and squeegee from the center towards the edges. If you try it dry you will probably end up with a mess and plenty of bubbles which will show like crazy from the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benr98 40 Posted November 2, 2008 Ok...I'm going to give it a whirl. Should I just apply the app fluid right to the plexi? Hey no worries, I know well enough NOT to even try something this large dry! I may be still wet behind the ears, but know better than that!! thanks for your reply John. Jenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted November 2, 2008 I usually apply the fluid to the vinyl but in this case it wouldn't hurt to do both. One little pocket with no fluid can be a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buggie Pilot 4 Posted November 3, 2008 If the white is just just a contrasting background I would consider painting it (try a test piece with a roller) it might be an easier application than vinyl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
