I've been using this foil for at least 7 years to make truck door lettering for a large trucking company. I've used 3 or 4 rolls of this foil and I have never coated it with FrogSkin or any other laminate. When I was ordering another roll, I noticed that the description says that it is good for "3-year outdoor durability rating (when protected with FrogSkin)." I print it on Oracal 651 with an Edge 2 at low temp. I have never got a complaint from the trucking company. They are local, so I would hear from them if there was a problem. Does anyone else out there use this foil unlaminated and unFrogJuiced with good results? Or, am I just living in a fantasy world that can come crashing down at any time?
