edge tape

[WOODBS]

how many of you use the lam tape to seal edges? i have been using it for perf after trimming 1/4" back from edge , underneath the body at cutline, or any trouble areas.

 

[WOODBS]

or are most of you using liquid sealer?

I'm using liquid sealer. It's messy at first but as you get the hang of it it gets easier to use. I find it to be faster than using lam.

I use laminate seal around the doors, hoods and places like that, I use the liquid seal where there is a lot of road or wind abuse, wheel wells & under carraige

We use 3M Paint Protection film (door edge guard)

Local company here uses 1/2" clear Scotch tape. Seriously.




and no....it doesn't work.

 

[Adam Bennett]

nice. I think I'll try nail polish next

we use edge sealer on all windows as well as at the bottom of the vehicle around bumpers etc..

strip sealer that is.. optically clear laminate strips..

 

[ProWraps]

we use lam tape here if we need it (aka, old car that has grime under the body that just will not come off). be careful using the 3M edge sealer. it says right on the can "DO NOT USE ON PAINT". and i think the reason is, that stuff seriously hardens into something that cant be removed.

if the vehicles are cleaned correctly, neither should be necessary but provide "insurance".

I back ProWraps statement. Read the can..

I use edge sealer on glass only. I have cut lam strips before and they seem to work well.

 

[GZ SIGN DESIGNS]

we use lam strips also

leftover gerber edge clear vinyl cut into 1/4" strips. or leftover laminate.
