Applying vinyl to painted plywood

[futurewaves]

I've been asked to wrap some exterior spray-painted plywood hoardings.
My 3M rep recommended 3M 3662, although I've never used this vinyl, and it's only sold in 48" rolls.
I did a test using 3M 35C and 39C, and it seemed to stick, but I can't tell if it'll hold up for the year.

Any suggestions?
Was considering using IJ180 or SV480.

Save a bunch of money and use Drytac's Polar Grip. Double the adhesive and it is a high tack. It sticks like crazy to everything.

I'd probably go with the 180 because that wood looks pretty textured. It's largely going to depend on the kind of paint used... so I don't think anyone could know for sure until you try it.
...Tex's nipple leak will show through.

Is it stickier than 3M IJ39?
The IJ39 is 3.5mil compared to 3.2mil for the Drytac Polar Grip.

The film thickness doesn't matter as much as the adhesive coat-weight and the aggressiveness. I'd be amazed if you don't get a good bond with the Polar Grip. I sell that stuff in the states for around $300...so it should put maybe a hundred bucks back in your pocket. Most people in the states are paying just under $400.

Plus it is made with pride by a bunch of Canadians!

You should get a test roll of this material. In many circumstances, you'll save 50% against 180 - especially if you are going to laminate it. If it is flat, it sticks.

Only need a year?
13 oz banner material, make it or order it with 3 inch extra perimeter and staple gun it around the back of the plywood. Lasts for years...

IF gluing you must prep/seal the board. I've been fooled before thinking that a surface is secure only to find that the glue adhered to it and then whatever was on the surface just pulls right off.

Honestly, no one uses plain rattle can painted plywood and then waste decent vinyl on it. If the customer is that danged cheap, use a banner like mentioned or get somebody to flatbed print it. Those footballs telegraph through any vinyl you'll ever use. I like the booger coming outta her nose

My suggestion is arlon 8200x. That stuff sticks to just about anything and isnt gonna just come off or curl edges. Its an amazing product. Highly recommend.

I like the banner idea. I have 2 customers who have used my banners to wrap plywood signs as their main business sign. One is about 6 years old, the other 4. The one that is 6 years old is showing some wear but I'm probably the only one that noticed. I think I used 15oz material.

good to know - I am always looking for a good high tac for this type situation, thanks for the suggestion!

I've got stock of this in Las Vegas should you ever want a roll.
