This is the post that I was going off of.

in the recess!!!

Yeah, it just slid down while we installed it and I couldn't get it flipped back aound!:Oops:

Also, you misread my reply. I didn't say if you ran short of material wrapping the area, I said once it is in the recess and it has to be heated in to conform.

Don't resort to name calling Barbara, answer the question. It is a legitimate situation that happens to everyone and I for one am not seeing the logic in how the design is done makes a difference in how the vinyl underneath it lays on recesses and curves. Please explain.

Designing and printing have nothing to do with it. Vinyl is vinyl no matter what is printed on it. Here is an example. Take a piece of vinyl and lay it over the mouth of a glass, now work it down into the glass without heat. Pretty soon you are going to run out of material with a long way to go...

Ha, I love it. Another "so I called you out thread", don't get yourselves too worked up.

Lets be clear here... if you are trying to work cold vinyl into a deep recess, what do you do when you run out of material and its 3 inches from the bottom of the channel and already tighter than ****'s hatband? If you stretch it cold and use no primer or heat, how are you getting it to "lay" in...

Not really wanting to go down this road but, maybe you should look up copywright derivitives and fair use. I'll post it for you if you like.:corndog:

No, I said you MUST post heat.

In situations like that (recess in bumper) start your stretch early so that you have an excess (if possible) going into the recess and lay as you are heating to bring it back so that you are shrinking the vinyl instead of stretching it. Make sense?

Highly doubt it considering it is a recreation of another image. But I can see you would think that on first impression. And yes shop wrap are out but it was my personal vehicle so I decided to throw it up anyway. And yes, it is hard to make minivans look cool.

If you post heat it you will reset the memory of the vinyl. If you DONT reset it, it will fail for sure.

I have a customer who does this to me on a regular basis. They are by far my best client. Literally on the verge of begging (no joke). My response to them is, NEVER A PROBLEM FOR YOU! This type of customer is rare indeed and when you have a client like that, you do all you can to cultivate the...

If all else fails, shut it down and restart it.

My first suggestion would be to get a new graphic designer. This is Illustrator 101 stuf. A good designer can redraw this in under 20 minutes.

Oops, guess I should read posts better before I throw my 2 cents in.
