Application

[doncollier]

Hi I am real new at this, I have applied vynil to glass and banners with out to much trouble, but I want to apply a logo to a truck it is 18"H X 22"W and the truck has a slight cure n it, both top to bottom and side to side. Should I pull the backing off first then apply it or should I tape the top or side and start pulling of the backing and squeegee it down as I remove the backing?

Any info will really help and thank you.

Also what would be a fair price for that size (1 color)?

P.S. I tried to research this first in the newbies forum but didn't have much luck.

Use the tape method. Hinge method to be exact.
Best to use application fluid

OK, so I use the hinge method. Do I hinge it from the top then pull off all the backing at once or pull off part of the backing and start pressing it down.

VINYL.....vinyl I am a very bad speller and dislectic to, which gets costly now and then in the screenprinting business. LOL

I sort of disagree w/ Signrite......depending on what the curves are like. wet appl. may not be the way to go.

doncollier.Why don't you do a few trial runs first maybe if you have a van or even try applying some vinyl to a substrate you have knocking about.That way you can get some practice in and start to build your confidence.
Oh and take no notice to some of the wit here on these message forums...It's very very sour and dry.

cheap crap vinyl that's so thick it can stand up on it's own or high performance 2 mil that is pliable? Cheap thick crap hinged or not hinged may not be a good choice for this. When asking a question, include facts on product being used as it is a big help and keeps us from having to ask.

shovel grab another my friend it is 18"(inches)x22"(inches) hell my 12 Y.O. nephew could handle that easy & DRY No wet stuff.

No...it has nothing to do with being a newb or not. Especially if there are compound curves, he'll be very frustrated trying to do a wet install. I've been doing vinyl since it was new and I do wet sometimes or I might do dry depending on the circumstances. And compound curves I've learned to never do wet.

Shovelhead? Sarcastic? Never.

BTW love the cute new avatar Shovel.

I'd do it dry. Cut a couple in case ya' screw it up.

Shoot - we never even knew there was such a thing as a wet application when we started!
