  1. Premask left on vinyl too long - tips/tricks for removal

    Maybe try a 70/30 mix %99 iso/water mix. The water will soak into the paper mask and the iso should help to dissolve the adhesive. Good Luck! Chaz
  2. Rapid Tac

    We install wet 95% of the time using about a tablespoon of dish soap in a 3g jug of water. Only use rapid tac on certain installations (ie. substrate dependant etc.). For most things there is no need to install dry unless its a little piece of signage or some perf. (at least on glass)...
  3. Suggestions Colored Transparent Vinyl.

    It's pretty optically clear. We're currently using it on a large 4 floor project. Its pretty much the same as printing onto an optically clear vinyl. Chaz
  4. black vinyl breaking glass?

    It is true, you calculate the film stress factors and the thermal stress factors which will give you a total PSI and you compare it to the MAX PSI of the glass. There are tons of variables such as shading, type of glass, thickness of glass, shape of glass to name a few to calculate the factors...
  5. black vinyl breaking glass?

    Everyone does have good valid points here and there. There are a lot of contributing factors (ie. poor glass quality, sealed unit, chipped glass behind window stops) as to why it would crack the glass but yes covering all or partial windows in black vinyl can cause thermal breakage of the glass...

  8. Need Help Back Up Solution

    You could go to a cloud service like Dropbox or google drive (I'm sure there are tons others as well). They are paid subscriptions but would ultimately work. Just share your folders that you want to back up to the service and it will have them in the "cloud". I'm in the same boat as you, we...
  9. Material suggestions for graphic application over rivets

    I have to agree with Gino, I don't see him being wrong in saying it's best to learn side by side from someone who knows what they're doing. I learned years ago from a guy who'd been installing for 20 some years... been quite a few years since I'd done a vehicle (even flat surface vehicle) and...
  10. Need Help Window Perf

    If it works it will have a slight difference than not having the film. To get the "one way" glass look it works on a balance of light. It needs to be a highly reflective film and be darker in the room you viewing from and lighter on the side you don't want to see in. It will really depend on how...
  11. Perforated Mirror Gold Vinyl?

    Could do that but cut through the backer so that the little holes fall out... would make one heck of a mess to clean up but would avoid weeding. Chaz
  12. Application tape not sticking to frosted crystal

    Yes we've had that issue many times and found out there is a special 3M premask to use for 3M Dusted and Frosted crystal. It is SCPS-53x. Chaz
  13. White specks when I print

    Yea it looks like it is picking up dirt/dust to me. Chaz
  14. Suggestions Cut Film On Smaller Table

    We have two of these as well.. very handy. But I wouldn't worry about cutting the piece down, cut it off the roll inch larger than the window, tack to the wall, remove the liner, wet and fold, install and unfold down the window or if you can depending on the liner, back roll the material onto...
  15. Haven't Heard Of This Stuff................................

    What brand is it? Ill take a look, we don't use a lot of it but the odd time. Also whats your cost on a 54"x100' roll (or whatever roll length it comes in)? I have to take in account the exchange rate and shipping on items like this... Chaz
  16. Haven't Heard Of This Stuff................................

    There is the contravison 80/20 perf. 20% Transparency (80/20) perforated window film Chaz
  17. S80600 Issue With Onyx - Need Help Fast!

    Never heard of this either. First thing when in doubt... reboot. After that if the issue is still there, double check your settings as mentioned above then try running the same file with a different profile, if still there, run a different file with the same profile. Sometimes it can be...
  18. Suggestions Colored Transparent Vinyl.

    Print your colour to optically clear? Solar Graphics has a line of coloured films but they are PET so they won't stretch etc. like vinyl. We have used them a few times and they aren't too bad to work with. Chaz
  19. Anyone Use Vinyl On Your (physical) Desktop For Organization?

    Looks Awesome! Wish I had some time to go something like that! Looks like it could be a big selling feature too... not that I think anyone would want to spend the time wrapping desks all the time! haha Chaz
