Makes since. What brought me to ask is I have a sample roll of IJ170Cv3 and it looked just like 180Cv3. Just by my initial test of an 8"x8" square it did not seem to have any harder of an initial tack than 180. I know that is not really a sufficiant test. Once I get a chance I will be...

I see the difference in the adhesive to be pressure activated and pressure sensitive. I understand pressure activated, but define sensitive. I am not trying to be difficult. I have my idea of what this means, but want opinions of how others define pressure sensitive.

I am curious as to if someone could tell me the difference between 3M Controltac and 3M Scotchcal? I understand Controltac to be pressure activated, and Scotchal to be not be. If someone could elaborate that would be great. Also, any input on the difference between 180Cv3 and 170Cv3 would be...

Yeah, I was just talking to one of my partners about needing a Snickers. I have a regular pressure washer. Do you think that would work?

Yes it was. This was wrapped by our company prior to me working here. It was installed approximately 2 years ago. What I do know is the vehicle was parked out side and never washed or waxed. I know this contributed to the problem, but only after two years? We used a wrap material with the...

Wow, you guys are quick at responding. We've been praying. Praying that the customer would decide not to move forward with removal. We do charge by the hour for removal, but we certainly want to get this out of the shop as quickly as we can.

Please see pictures attached. After removing the hood of the wrap, I saw that the wrap had caused a discoloration on the vehicle. I am not sure if it is in the paint or clear coat. What I have noticed is that the discoloration on the vehicle are in areas that are white, which would have no...

Does anyone have any suggestions on removal? See attached Picture. The pieces are coming off about the size of a dime. If we use heat or no heat the size is all about the same just different amounts of adhesive left behind. Help!!! There has to be a better way!

Yes, loosely rolled up. Flat for me is almost impossible. Next vehicle is 85 feet of vinyl then at some point two 35 foot rv's, not to mention a Hummer and a cargo van. I've been doing this for 4 or 5 years and never really seen this. I know it is not a bad batch of material because I have...

I have a customer that uses a dense red background for their vehicle wraps. I have completed a couple and each time is like wrapping with a hot trash bag or outside in 100 degree weather (No Air Egress, Not Repositionable, stretches with the slightest touch). I have several more to do, so I am...
