Thank you for the reply.

Hi and thanks for reading my post... I have a customer that wants a half wrap on the company trucks. He wants matte black with white gloss. I don't do vehicle color change wraps so the only idea I have is to layer it. Print black put a flat lam on it and then put the white on top? Is this a...

Thanks for the reply, yeah its not real brick. Did a site survey yesterday and tape stuck really well to it.

Yup, you are right :)

Yes, I agree. I jumped too fast with my question. I was feeling a bit of a panic over the install (and the sign shop owner leaving for Italy for 3 weeks). I did a site survey yesterday and its a faux brick that is smooth and the VHB tape stuck to it great. I am glad I asked tho. I love...

Thank you for the knowledge! Appreciate it greatly.

Right, another concern will the glue stick to the PVC.

Yeah same thoughts I had. The sign owner left for 3 weeks and said "just install with tape" not the first time I've been left with finding a solution for the installation.

Hi Everyone, I am doing a sub contract PVC letters/logo install on brick. The sign company I am installing for wants me to use double faced tape and liquid nails. Its a large area and pretty high up. I'm concerned. Anyone use 3m double sided tape on brick before? I'm probably going to have...

Thanks for the message... The vinyl was popping up off the backing and making channels. The lines after install are where this happened. I didn't get any lines where I peeled off the liner. I did on one area lift and heat and that is where It has the dark bruising. Now I know what not to do...

So I used 680 non CR does it also bruise? Might be a dumb question I guess because if you are using that you will wet apply and not need to heat and stretch so you won't be breaking that metallic fleck.

Yes, I used regular masking tape. I'll make sure my wholesaler rolls the graphic facing out. I could use 680 and wet apply it doesn't have any difficult curves. The client wanted the reactive to be as white as possible and the 780 fit that need. Things to think about... thank you!

I get my prints and larger cuts through a wholesale printer and I wish they would have told me this. I appreciate the reply!

Hi Everyone, I have a customer that wants his logo stretching across the doors of all his work vehicles. I used 3m 780mC white. The idea is that his vehicles are white and you don't really see his logo until it is reflecting light. Anyway, I used the 780 just contour cut without laminate and...
