3651 (not RA) wet apply?

[skyhigh]

I have some large prints that were sent to me from another company which I have to install. I'm working by myself, and can't for the life of me do a good job.

Can this material be put down WET??? Prints are going on a flat metal surface.

THATS WHY I ORDER MY STUFF THRU MIKE @ INSIGNIA.

My man Mike only sends me air release products.
He knows I'm a vinyl smuck, that needs all the help I can get.... :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Mike & watsons signs.

Yep, I've laid down 4X8's wet with that no problem. I try to not, but sometimes on big stuff w/ no RA, it's just not worth the risk of throwing it in the garbage and the time out if it goes wrong. It's a little less "professional" but basically no risk.

"Less Professional" is screwing up the job. Whatever it takes to get the job done, and looking good is the professional approach.

I'm working with 4x6 panels. I got one down without any wrinkles, but I had a bunch of bubbles to deal with. I did not take my time......had I been a little more cautious, or had an extra pair of hands, I think the outcome may have been better. A vertical install would have been easier also.

I was just going to mention the Big Squeegee, it works great when your doing something this size by yourself.

The only thing I do different from the video, is place a flat panel of some kind over the substrate panel to protect it as I move down the panel.
