I wouldn't sweat it too much. No matter how you do it they will only look straight from one viewpoint and that should be straight on at eye level. I think it is more important that the different colored stripes stay a consistent distance apart. If you're good at striping a few marks down the...

Here's what I have http://www.coregraphics.com/caring.html I also link to 3m and Orafol care and cleaning.

1. Create at least an LLC for some personal protections. 2. Get an EIN to safeguard your SSN. 3. Appropriate licensing and General Liability Insurance is a must. 4. Separate bank and savings account for your business. Comingled funds make it easier for lawyers to pierce the corporate veil...

There is a known issue with some brands of reflective vinyl and wet installations. They end up having a black mold look. I think people were thinking there might be a connection between that and your problem.

Avery 900 series ultra metallics might work.

Horizontal, vertical or both applications? Horizontal applications in southern climates take a UV beating.

Image1Impact make a wrap cut knife exactly like the yellotools one for a lot less. http://www.robivers.com/store/sharp-tools/ None of these knives like this work well when it's hot. The adhesive gets to gummy and sticks to the foot. The older Teflon tape version of these knives are a pain...

Looks to me like that pattern is going to make the words hard to read. It will be too busy.

Disclaimer, I don't care for Oracal/Orafol on so many levels. 651 isn't the correct material for a lot of reasons; 1. Installation of large panels like that will be difficulty without the air egress feature of a wrap materials ( it will cost you more in time than if you just bought the...

It is hard to stop digital prints or RTA graphics from tunneling on the liner and it doesn't mater whether its on paper or plastic. The only guarantee is to ship them flat or rolled tightly around a large diameter tube like a 8 to 12" sauna tube.

3M 7725 comes with the clear synthetic liner and is cheaper than the translucent but still a premium vinyl. Try Gregory. Gregory is a good company and they don't sell retail cheaper than wholesale like stab you in the back Frank Fellers does with Cheetahwrap. Like others have stated, there...

Dry erase laminates and boards can last a long time but it depends on how they are treated. Two of the biggest problems are people scrubbing stubborn old ink to get it off or using harsh chemicals. Over time they both will render the dry erase practically useless. Office Depot sells cleaner...

Cool, I will give Edge Wrap Gloves a try. They yellow color of the WrapGloves is my only gripe about them. They get dirty and fade with use and washes. I have tried many different combinations of material and squeegee's and stopped trying to make my own. I know they are expensive compared to...

Avery's street wrap is cool too. I doubt you will find anything guaranteed long term for concrete, but they do last. At the last company I worked at we had Avery street wrap outside our installation bay and it go driven over all the time. you could still see and read it years latter, it just...

Please for the sake of our industry, don't use primer on every edge and small curve. Only use it where the vinyl was stretched 20% or more. I hate doing removals and finding primer everywhere. A 1/4" wide brush is fine. If you think you need a 1" or larger brush your in the wrong industry...

If your doing an inlay on the windows it will make it a lot easier. Do NOT cut the vinyl on the vehicle, yours or a customers. It takes years of practice not to cut the paint and even then there is no guarantee. There are too many variables; temperature, type of vinyl, knife blades, and knife...

I would bet a really good installer could figure out how to use a RollePro on regular non air release cut vinyl. I'm not convinced that it would be worth the time, effort, and redo's required to get to that point though. The RollePro is worth its weight in gold when using air egress vinyl...

Are you in the PDAA or do you know Rob Ivers? I used to work with Rob and he taught me to use the Walmart Bondex adhesive backed nylon patches 15 years ago. They work good for about one wrap and then you burn through the edge and leave adhesive streaks. They are cheap, $5 to cover 8 squeegees...

My other favorite; "I like that one. Can I get a copy so I can show my "XYX" (wife, business partner, friends...)" What I would like to say "#$@%, you forgot to tell me this was design by committee and/or your not the decision maker. The cost just doubled if not tripled"

By the square foot, no way. Design is like a cab ride. If you know where your going we should be able to drive straight there with 2 revisions for around $X. If you don't, it may take awhile and the meter is running the whole time. Everyone's favorite customer is the one who doesn't know...
