Anyone else using the 3M IJ 175 for wrapping? I'd like to know if anyone has had any issues with it.
We haven't and we are loving it. Thoughts?

3M IJ-175 We're Lovin It!
- Thread starter Kentucky Wraps
- Start date
We use about 10-15 rolls a month. Mostly box trucks and cargo vans. Stuff we don't have to worry about removing. We had used it on some temp wraps and removal was a nightmare. Installers have been loving it. It's also not good for recessed window areas like a sprinter or transit.

What is the different between IJ180 and IJ175, other than the color of the adhesive?
From what I understand it has a less aggressive tack. So it's a little more on par with Avery.
What was so nightmarish about it?

does a lot of adhesive stay behind?
It has a higher long term adhesion so removal leaves a lot of glue regardless of removal method.

Tried it.
NO DEEP CHANNELS (sprinter/transit). Tested and it lifts after time. Even with primer and low stretch.
Had to remove the back portion of a wrap. Client changed their mind a few months later. Removal, not good. A lot of adhesive left. I won’t use it.

It’s all about your print!
We're liking it too! Especially with our Seiko. The IJ180cv3 was so tacky it was hard to install full wraps. Something to do with the way the ink is reacting with the material. We haven't had any issues with deep channels though. But the whole removal thing is not comforting. We haven't had to remove anything yet, but IJ180cv3 is hard enough. Wouldn't it be awesome to just have the best of both....

Hmmm...I'll keep an eye on the recesses. Haven't had to remove anything that's been on for awhile.
May go back to 180mC though if enough folks are having issues. I'd rather not have the risk.

Update: took advantage of the rebate and we love the installation (almost as much as Avery 1105)....BUT....recesses did indeed become an issue in several installs (lifting) even after making sure they were properly cleaned and installed including post heating.
I think my days of 175 are over...back to 180mC UR....since Avery and HP Latex don't get along nice (delamination).
sigh....
