Looking For A Good Laminate For Big Squeegee

[Sven]

We're using Oracal 210. The thin backer makes it hard to apply. I've watched the videos, but I get a lot of silvering past where the paper sticks to the laminate.
Thanks

Arlon all day long. You'll love it. The Oracal laminates are nice, but not for the Big Squeegee. Arlon has way thicker backings that make things way easier.

I used to have a ton of problems with Oracal 210 and using the big squeegee, until I switched to Matte vinyls. One day I decided on the next roll of 3651 I ordered, I'd try the Matte version... completely night and day difference with the 210 and the Big Squeegee!

The backing pushes right out in front of the squeegee now, no issues!

I use a lot of the 210 laminate and if there short runs just pull the backing and anything longer just have a helper pull it for you. As for the Arlon I may have to give myself a try as well I've heard a lot of good things about using it with the BS. What Arlon laminate do you suggest for the big squeegee?

Whichever you need. Cast for cast vinyl, calendered for calendered. I've use the matte, gloss, and satin, and they all look nice.
