Question on applying vinyl to corrugate signs..

[goldunicorn77]

When applying the lettering to corrugate sign blanks--is it best to spray a bit of water/soap on the sign or apply the vinyl to the sign blank DRY...? Whats the best reccomendation for getting the air bubbles out or NONE at all...?Any suggestions would help, thanks.

!st is to question why in hell you would have accepted that job?

I would rather have pureed habanero peppers rubbed onto sensitive parts of my body!

For one thing...If you're using coro, no need for HP vinyl which is more likely to get bubbles. Use intermediate vinyl dry.

I am using ORACAL 641 Is that OK to use ??

 

[imaSIGNr]

641 is for easy removing ( light tack ) 651 would be better.

Easy removing--are the letters gonna fall off on their own??

We use 651 & dry install for coro signs... 3651 for digital prints (maybe 3951 now & then for 1-day golf signs) sometimes print right on the white 651! We use a big squeegee for the digital prints and a speed press for the cut vinyl ones. No bubbles on either one

Definitely dry install, 651 works well and I have found at my early stage doing coro that if you squeegee perpendicular to the flutes in the coro you will have very few if any bubbles.

Oracal 651 dry. I never had luck doing them wet.
