Any pictures? What makes you think it's warping? We clean ours weekly with alcohol and a scraper, doesn't seem to be warping on us.

While I don't think telling someone to set apply is bad advice, I do think telling them you can wet apply every single vinyl, and the manufacturer's just don't want to say wet apply.is fine because they don't sell their own rapid tac, is bad advice. You don't always have to follow manufacturers...

I can try in Flexi. I'll pm you an Addy.

Most vinyls that say do not wet apply are control tac, or air egress. The reason is the water gets trapped in the air egress and causes issues. 3M For instance allows wet apply on any vinyl that is not control tac, but if you do it to control tac... the warranty is immediately gone. So while...

rollover tables are 10x faster than by hand. Yes, they're not automatic... but our guy on a rollover can mount literally 10 signs compared to our guy using a laminator, or big squeegee, or just by hand. Especially when the signs are bigger... it makes a huge difference. I just spent 4.5 hours...

If you can pop the bubbles... its air, not dirt. as mentioned... practice. You should be able to easily put down some vinyl without bubbles when it's cut/small pieces. You can wet apply providing it's not bubble free vinyl. You shouldn't need to... but it's not a problem so long as it's not...

Mactac has a bubble free version thats made for printing. It's mostly silverish though. when I applied it... it peeled off super easy and it worried me that it wouldn't stick. When I let it sit for 24 hours, it held on just as good as normal wet install Mactac. So if you do try it, don't...

We have magnets with a printable layer in a roll. we print on them all the time... We don't laminate them, but I'm sure some people do to extend the life. My suggestion to you is talk to some of your local shops. Ask them to give you A discount if you outsource all your printed graphics to...

I live in langley, so you're actually not that far away :) [Edit] I have a huge hospital job I'm doing at SMH for the next 3 weeks. I'll be working 2PM-12 AM since they don't like people working in the morning. Ontop of a few other personal jobs I'm doing... so I'm a "little" busy. But if you...

If you really WANT it to work, stick in there. If it's a passion, go for it. If you think you're going to get rich right away, or it's not going to be a ton of long hours / a lot of effort, thats when I'd suggest giving up. You can ask anyone here, and I'm sure 99% of them will say their...

Nice! The company I Work for doesn't get many full wraps. I don't think we've ever even had 1 full color change. We've done every part of a vehicle once... but not the whole thing. Usually it's advertisements, or people wanting certain parts pink, etc... So I don't have much experience with...

For the graphics you plan on doing, sadly a $200 plotter will work just as good as a $6000 plotter. Which means your competing against not just sign professionals, but hobbyists. We buy in bulk at my work, we save 25-30% off materials than new shops .It's hard to compete with someone who has...

Nice, I'll definately give it a try then. I think it'd give it a much nicer, custom look than graphics on-top. We do a lot of graphics on-top... customers want their phone #s and other stuff on cut vinyl so they can change it out. Or like our shop vehicle it's matte black with white text /...

I don't know. Would you want to wrap a Lamborghini for the same price as a Camry? Every car is different. Different curves, different techniques needed.... Some will take a day, some can take 4 days . Some.will come.in with a ton of chips that need to be filled and primed... Some will be...

Have you ever tried this? I was daydreaming one day and thought about how cool it'd be to design something this way. Could.do 1-2 layers of thick stuff and wrap over.it to give it a slight 3D look. I was always worried about how the vinyl would stick though.. mainly concerned it would lift a...

How subtle do you want it? If you put matte black on matte black.. you wont notice it until you're right up close. Same if you print it. You could print a rich black with your subtle graphics a duller black, overlaminate it with matte overlam... then apply it. I would use Matte black...

Depends, if it's aluminum than it won't stick. A lot of buildings are made out of steel though - or have steel frames / other parts where a magnet will stick .I just did 30 or so 3'x3' windows with wet install graphics... I got lucky and magnets worked on the frames, made it super easy...

This is where magnets shine. It's easy to set up with magnets while constantly moving the ladder. 2-3 magnets can hold the whole roll up while you.move the ladder and reposition. Once it's setup... I'd put a strip of tape every ft. Cut the strip off at the top of the vinyl, but leave it on...

I print on 680 a lot, and I can easily pull the overlam off in saturated areas. We pair it with 8518. We've had it on vehicles out for a year, and theres been no problems... It doesn't seem to delaminate on its own, but you can definatelly cleanly pull it off easily. It scares me, I dont want...

It could be a lot of things... My best guess is the router has gone bad. It is a pretty old router, and it only has 10/100 Ethernet... I'm going to venture a guess and say you're internet is as fast/faster than 100M (Not uncommon these days) So when you're downloading it's maxing out the port...
