  5. a heat gun for me?

    Moze, do you set the temperature on your Dewalt to the ideal temperature and then don't worry about burning the vinyl? even if you barely move the heat gun? Thanks
  6. a heat gun for me?

    hello all.... am having a bit of a problem getting a reliable reading from my laser thermometer when post heating after wrapping parts on a vehicle. but i am seeing in the cowboy catalog some fandangled heat guns that you can dial up the exact temp that is needed to set the vinyl without burning...
  7. what substrate to use?

    yes trust me i would love to just use 3mm polymetal but i have seen before that it will start to waffle if installed on a non solid surface. and the only problem with covering with red vinyl or just making a print to cover the boards is that they will be butted up to each other forming 2 4x16...

  9. 3 post v-shaped install?

    but also keep in mind that it is definitely not permanent. do you think it will hold up for a year with just stringers?
  10. 3 post v-shaped install?

    i see what you are saying. it seems as though i see a fair amount of them made out of coro. never really paid attention to if it had a peice of plywood for a backer. i guess i always assumed it was stringers...
  11. 3 post v-shaped install?

    sorry, the coro is 4mm. thanks

    thanks so much guys for all your input. i think i will take your advice and leave it loosely on the core for a day or two before laminating.....:thankyou:
  14. can i leave print on take up reel and head straight for the laminator?

    hi folks, was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me if this is okay to do... i have heard you should not leave a print wound up on the take up reel. that you should take it off and leave it loosely rolled up in an open area to outgas (which i have always done). however when printing an...
  15. how would you guys produce this job?

    its hauling grease trap waste.... the thing i hate the most about print/cut is that on prints this big it really gets tough to get the contour cut consistent.
  16. how would you guys produce this job?

    Hello everyone. i am hoping some of you guys would give me your opinion on how i should produce this job. it has a mess of 2 color lettering (black lettering with white outline). it is an awful lot to print and contour cut. but it is also an awful lot to cut out of black vinyl and white vinyl...
  17. cutting small objects with plotter

    what if you cut it but dont weed it. put transfer tape on entire unweeded graphic. install onto surface, then weed out the unwanted green around the branches on the tree. hope this made since
  18. what size panels to use on box truck?

    i see. and yea definitely gonna be doing some practicing soon. one other thing i didnt mention was my vinyl choice was oracal 3951ra with 293 lam. can it be that this soft of a vinyl actually made it harder for me to install because of haw much it expanded as i was laying it down with tension...
  19. what size panels to use on box truck?

    okay i just got done wrapping a box truck with rivets for the first time. and damn the rivets.... i had a heck of a time. i was under the gun to not destroy any panels so i couldnt really try too many different techniques like i have seen on videos. so to make a long story short it took me...
  20. My new toy!!!

    i have owned a d120 for about 8 years and couldnt be happier with it. but i definitely cant hit cut and then go to dinner... vinyl will sometimes crease and not lay right in the media catcher and if i am not there to catch it then it can get real ugly real quick. do you know something that i dont?
