951

I have used Oracal 951 to do boat lettering but its expensive. 48"x50 yards will run you in the $500 range

Why laminate it

oracal 970 has ra..

The extra cost of the laminate is easily worth the time savings in the install. Thicker vinyl is much easier to deal with. Obviously use cast over cast.

Laminated film is easier to install. People are starting to get wrap crazy, thinking it is going to last like paint, be sure the customer knows the limitations of a wrap, and what to except. I see alot of wrapped boats that look like crap after a season or so. Alot of owners don't care for stuff like they should.
Educating the customer from the start will save alot of headaches later on.

Wrapped a boat in preprinted avery with lam last year and still looks good after a season in salt water. Just remember the 94 and edge sealer.

Why not just use application tape if ease of installation is what you're after?
