What vinyl are you using and why can't I get a good edge? Best cuts I've done with it this week were in the early am when the shop was 60

Hey all, just thinking out loud and wondering if anyone would be interested in a little weekly challenge. Just a random object that everyone can get hold of and show off some skills. I'm thinking of doing it with our installation crew starting next week and judging results on Fridays. For...

I'm hoping to finish up my cafe bike project in the next few weeks and just looked at the exhaust can and how it doesn't fit the color scheme at all. I'm also big on being seen and was thinking about some 3m 680 series black reflective on there with some design work done with 1080 autumn orange...

Let me walk you though making some extra money off that website. Sign up as an Amazon affiliate, then just use the custom link from Amazon on your site as an automatic redirect. This makes yo 4-10% on everyone who goes to the site and then buys it off amazon. I'm sure you are getting a few...

The concept is a good one, but the fillament doesn't make a clean cut...it's too sticky and the micro notches seem to match the cord winding....

Best way I've found to use it, so far, is to apply it as instructed...then use it as a guide for your knife to actually make the cut :(

Hey all, I'm trying to switch to wrapcut along with the other 9 installers here but I can't get a smooth edge with it. This is especially irritating when used on a printed film as the white edge looks particularly jagged. I'm pulling it tight as I lay it, squeegeeing it down, squeegeeing the...

Everything seems pretty straight forward until you mentioned the recesses in the overlap area. Knife less is great but I've never used it over recesses. Put the back on, work it into the channels, put the knifeless into the channels as well, then put the front pieces on, working into the...

I just got back into the business after about 6 years off. Back in the day I only did interior wall installs and installs on glass, now I'm working doing fleet installs and a lot of color change wraps are included in that. Back then it was all about the gold 3m and a lot of the guys at the...

PM sent!

Hey guys, I'm one of the installers for premier fleet graphics here in Louisville. We have 5 full time guys and a few part time guys and are typically swamped but love to help other shops out if we can. If you ever get into a bind call Gary, he's the owner and all around outstanding guy.

Got my attention!

So I have complete my during lunches over the past few days at the shop. First run is in 3 pieces as I was getting used to the material and how to hold a tank still, keep a teen age helper occupied with a propane torch and figure out this matte green 1080 material. I am going to go with a...

Ok all,We are removing and rebranding 80 trucks next week, all the vinyl was purchased separately and we are doing the install. I really want to help my fellow installers to get this done quickly as we are only allocated 2 hours in the morning each day next week. The removal will be fairly...

take two! I wasn't as stressed today and did the other side by myself in about 15 minutes just for some practice. I will be attempting this in one piece after my classes end for the semester. 30 hours of work plus finals for two masters level classes and 4 research papers due is enough...add...

It's for a fleet job...everything comes in packaged and cut. I love 680, this is not 680. :( both variations have 3m backing paper though

The last 4 minutes is awesome if you like having fun with a blow torch!:Oops:

solid comedy gold (about 38 seconds of the 15 minute video) Its up on the youtubes. Raw, un-edited, in all the naked truth of an installer on a really bad day. No game plan, no sleep (last two weeks of the semester and sleep cannot be budgeted) and I had a really, really sick kiddo. At the...

Hey guys, im having some issues with a 4" horizontal reflective stripe on the rear of some 2015 ford edges. We are doing 2 different colors, each has a different adhesive to it, one being super aggressive. I was asked not to apply it wet like I used to do back in the day.... But I'm having...

And...it was all videoed! Debating if I should put it up under my motovlog channel or not!
