  1. removing large vinyl from raw aluminum trailer

    We are finding that steam is great for removing cut vinyl and wraps alike. I’ve used a heat gun for years with rapid remover and the steam is working better for us. Be patient and wear some good gloves. Plus make sure to charge enough to make the effort REALLY worth the time:) Sent from my...

    True. Hope to add retainer soon. Will post updated pics when finished. We are using 3/16” white acrylic for backer on each panel. The other white is the back of DiBond face. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good morning, Thanks for reply! Great idea about roughing up both surfaces. Will do that for sure. It’s crazy how well the silicone stuck to DiBond, but no trace of it on acrylic. You are correct about .020 aluminum face of DiBond. Good story too:) My dad was a sign-painter for many years and...

    Usually, yes. This is an extremely old sign that had flush mount .080 aluminum faces. Being such a large sign, we are having to use two separate panels per side. If it were a smaller one panel sign we could have added retainer and slid in single face. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Great info! I was worried about epoxy, due to expansion, but also can’t have another failure like this. Will see where we can get Sikaflex here in the states. Thank you so much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello everyone, We have had a failure with this sign. The acrylic white backer separated from the DiBond panels in areas. We used tape (not VHB) and silicone adhesive to mount the acrylic to back of ACM panels. The two acrylic panels per side were 4’x4’ for top panel logo and 2’ x 7’ for...
