I have a customer that wants me to UV print on 4” tin squares. Just black letters directly onto tin, not painted or anything. I used isopropyl alcohol as an adhesion promoter, but to no avail. This customer is after that farmhouse/tin/rusty metal chip and Joanna Gaines look. So I am looking for a metal that will fit the bill. Thinner the better. Any ideas?

I've never heard of using alcohol as an adhesion promoter. We use it to clean items we're printing on or to remove ink if we need too, though.
I'd try contacting your supplier and getting some of the adhesion promoter that's recommended for your printer/inks. Some versions of it can be diluted, too- so you can save a little $$$ on it.
