sorry, that's $14.00 for a 10 yard roll at Fellers. It's $39.00 for 50 yd. still kind of sounds like cheap stuff to me. I guess if you are into the "how cheap can I get this sign" market, it's a good choice.

I too had a very bad experience with Shinerite....as far as weeding goes anyway. I tried to save money because I was doing some throw away yard signs but wasted all (and more) of what I saved on the vinyl in the time it took to weed it.

I will say this though...I used it for some big letters a while after that and it worked just fine. But weeding the smaller cuts.....651 blows it away.

As for low cost? its a good product. Don't let low cost bother you. As for weeding.. It can power weed along with the best of them..

Well you all may be surprised to know who makes it.... It an't Avery...

I was just going to add that. Just finished my last roll and now I use Oracal 651 for my white. All the other Shinerite colors seem fine, the white must act a little different due to the blue backer or the glue or something???:help:

marelene needs to get glasses or a new price book..form fellers....i aint seen any $39 roll of vinyl......since i buy 24"x50 yard rolls its right at $70.00!!!!!!
LIKE I SAID IN AN EARLIER POST....YOU NEED TO USE CAUTION WHEN WEEDING......so the weeded vinyl doesnt make contact with the vinyl you want for signs.....but then i would call this kinda problem AGAIN OPERATOR ERROR...if you aint learned how to weed.....then dont matter what vinyl you use))))))))
just add...I HAVE NO MORE PROBLEM WITH THE WHITE, THEN ANY OTHER COLOR....
AGAIN OPERATOR ERROR)))))))))))))

I don't know what it is...

FWIW - the vinyl seems to have a harder time staying stuck to the backer when weeding, especially on smaller letters and fine lines/type. I'll run the same job on red, black, blue whatever...white doesn't want to separate as easily as do the other colors.

Again, I dunno' and not going to argue about it. Had enough, so I'm only going to use 651 for intermediate white from now on.

I've had good luck weeding on most of the colors. Shinerite "white" has never weeded easy for me and I always have to up the down force on the blade compared to the other colors.
