Strong Clear Adhesive Vinyl Recommendations

Hello all.

I am looking for recommendations on a brand of Calendared vinyl or other material that has a highly aggressive adhesive but also removes cleanly. I tried a few permanent ones, but so far, they have not been "permanent" or left gray stains on the surface. This vinyl will be adhered to plastic, carbon fiber, and wood, and the bond needs to be strong.

Now, for example, the skateboard grip tape is aggressive; that stuff does not want to come off. But when it does, it comes off super clean; I am looking for something like that.

Anybody have any recommendations I could try, I am using EcoSolvents.

you are not going to find an aggressive adhesive for those applications that will remove cleanly.
to start for plastic, wood, carbon fiber you will need a high tack adhesive and it's made to stick, be aggressive no high tack adhesive will remove cleanly.

Odds are, ya have 3 totally different surfaces/substrates, so you'll probably need 3 different vinyls which more than likely won't all behave the same.

General Formulations has a high tack that is removable, but is only in white as far as I know. You could try printing on Substance 3150 laminate. I have used that several times for clear decals and it works great. I doubt it would be super removable though.

Ahh, I have a couple rolls of 3150 laminate. Never tried printing on it, going to have to play around with that this weekend. I ordered the ultra-curve, let's see how that works out.

If you try to print with a latex printer, watch out for the drier, to much heat will warp the material.
