Has anyone used 3M Edge Sealer 3950 on vinyl that is laminated with polycarbonate? I have contacted 3M for their advice, but since they do not have a polycarb laminate they cannot advise whether it works or not. I have some displays that we are wrapping vinyl around. The ones that we did last...

Hi everyone, just want to pick your brains on installing large graphics on a trailer. A long time ago, I remember we would set up two ladders and put a wooden plank between so two people could walk it and install. We don't do that anymore (not sure exactly why, but it doesn't seem too safe)...

Just wanted to post about the incredible service I have been getting from the Grimco Chicago branch. I called today needing vinyl for a project that has a very tight budget. My rep looked into several options and even called 3M to answer a question I had. It is so nice to get a helpful rep every...

Hi there! I'm posting because we just upgraded to an Edge FX from the Edge II here and have lots and lots of old foils that we cannot use without Edge FX Conversion Plugs. We were only sent 4 sets and I already checked with Gerber and my vendor and no luck with getting any from them. This is...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping that someone might have a suggestion on where to start with solving my problem. I have a call in to the vendor, but in the meantime...We have an Image 600 laminator that has been leaving small bubbles/air pockets in the laminate every 16-17 inches. This does not seem to...

Hi everyone. We are replacing some striping on a semi and running into issues with stripping the existing vinyl. It is metallic and very old. Any tips? We have tried heating it up, using RapidRemover, scraping it and at this rate just the hood is going to take at least 3 hours...too long! Any...

Hi everyone. I recently started as Production Manager at a shop that used to do screen printing. There is some old equipment here that I would like to get rid of, however I can't find the information on any of it that a potential buyer might need. There is a UV drying conveyor system and what...
