  1. Cutting A Decorative Alupanel Sign

    Wow that’s harsh! But I recognize your name! lol
  2. Cutting A Decorative Alupanel Sign

    Yes. The first side went well freehanding it but to get the match on the other side was a fail. So a template using just vinyl and going slow. I’ll try that. I didn’t realize you could sand the edges. I used to file them until I got a burnishing tool which isn’t always perfect, if it hits a bad...
  3. Cutting A Decorative Alupanel Sign

    I have a one time cut to make on the alupanel for a decorative shape at the top as seen in the picture. I used a jig saw which worked fine until I did the other side using the cutout piece for a template. I would like to properly learn how to do this. I normally send them out but that’s becoming...

  7. Laminating Issues

    I have been having a problem with the tension in laminating. I used the 210 without any problem laminating then switched it over to 290 and I can’t seem to get it smooth. I never changed the tension. Tried several times and wasted a lot. I switched back to 210 and it worked fine. I’m not sure...

    Yes Orajet. Now do you use 290 laminate with it? I usually do flat areas. But I do apply over rivets now and then.
  12. Thick Striping on Truck

    I use cast for vehicles and anything outside. I did use the 3m knifeless tape which didn’t go well. Lol. It’s been a while since I used it. Does it get old? I didn’t find that it has a nice clean cut. I need more practise too! I did try heat but i ended up scraping that piece. I’m not fond of...

    Shows the sides, another splice
  14. Thick Striping on Truck

    I am putting a 2-2.5” stripe on a truck boxes where it meets the truck liner so right at the top. I always find it hard to make any slight curve with a stripe this wide and trying not to have a splice. What is the best way to make that curve at the end that goes around to the tailgate? I precut...
  15. Sled Windshield Wrap

    I have to put vinyl on a new snow machine windshield. I don’t do wraps so this is all new to me. I plan on using black cast vinyl. I have never done this and usually turn away jobs like this or try it and it fails. I hate saying no when I have done other jobs for them. What’s the best way to...

  18. To Print or Cut?

    That’s exactly what happened. Now I understand why. I was indoors but it was quite warm out.
  19. To Print or Cut?

    It went better than I thought it would. Took a bit of advice from all of you. Putting it on dry, tenting the rivets and Also trying to ignore the rivets worked best. Also a pin hole under the rivets was necessary too. Where I went Wrong on the last trailer I did was applying it wet. A few...
