Thanks for the info! That's exactly why I haven't made a direct purchase myself. I prefer to have a US company for support and distribution. Most companies won't take the time to explain what they have or have not done, so you are a step ahead of anyone else. Some of them won't even admit they...

Found it, Scotch 2097 weatherproof masking tape. Has a neat 90-degree tear feature too. https://www.scotchbrand.com/3M/en_US/p/d/cbgnaw011282/

We mostly use 3m blue masking tape. I came across poly (PVC?) yellow 3m masking tape at Menards on clearance, so I grabbed a roll, and it is really unique. When I went back, they were all gone. In general, use whatever your installer prefers. The cost is so insignificant that it's not worth...

Lots of different flavors/labels but you get the idea. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Fayon-1600DA-160cm-Automatic-High-Speed_62205679500.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.239213a0enwjcN

Oh yeah that CWT is totally a 1700-d3 https://cutworxusa.com/collections/laminators/products/express-heat-assisted-laminator-html?variant=44579769844032 https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/120cm-Silicon-Roller-1600mm-63-Inches_11000022688358.html?spm=a2700.shop_plgr.41413.17.66637121P0JV4q

Grimco had two new "house brand" laminators at the ISA show. They are Chinese imports that according to the sales guy are intended to be budget replacements for the most popular Kala and GFP machines they sell. They are both tefu/lefu/mefu made. Kala lookalike was $10k and GFP copy was $5k show...

expolinc has some nice ones, not the same though.

Looks like I will be ordering one soon ha ha. Im also curious about the flatbed tables.

Victor did you buy the mefu one? Which model and what was the experience like getting it to your shop, any hangups with shipping? I looked at the colex version at ISA last year, looked like a decent unit.

Do you have a US importer besides colex?

Filled your form, happy to give constructive feedback and suggestions.

I have had good experience with briteline on both eco solvent and UV, but I don't run any latex machines, the heat is going to be the issue and may cause buckling. I believe they updated their material lately with a different liner, so my experience may be obsolete anyways... Grab sample roll...

Floor squeegee works decent or even a stiff bristle broom. Most floor applications have thick film with low stretch.

Agreed, if needed you can also run painters tape from the face of each letter up to the wall as temporary support while the silicone sets up but usually not needed as long as your holes arent sloppy.

What size is the project, what lifespan or changeout frequency? I would look at Ackland or similar before going to a spring system personally.
