And whoever tagged "ignorant installer" on this thread can go to hell.

To be honest I feel crappy about it already, and that just salted the wound. So needless to say I'm a little on edge about the whole thing.

Whoa jeeze. No need for a flaming. I started this thread asking if there was a way to get rid of the bubbles. If I can't get the bubbles out or if it doesn't look good after a little while I will replace it. I would agree that they do have a right, but fortunately I'm not looking for business...

Well thanks for all the help, everybody. Definitely going to plan differently next time I am doing some layered vinyl! :thankyou:

You dog. :thumb: Well. I guess I'll try to work out as many of the bubbles now... Hopefully they don't ask for their money back or something...

I recently installed some multi-colored logos on a van and some doors for a friend of mine and there are a LOT of bubbles. I used the layering technique for the multiple colors and many of the bubbles appear to be between the layers of vinyl, not underneath the vinyl on the surface. So I am...

Awesome, thanks! Always good to have some local help :smile: Thanks for the warm welcomes, everybody!

Hey guys, I am a new member here from Golden, Colorado. My parents and I run a small screen printing and vinyl shop here in town. I have recently had some big vinyl jobs requested so I figured I would join a forum for any problems I might run in to. Happy to join, and I hope my past work with...
