boat wrap

[rushworks graphics]

just turned down our first request for a boat wrap yesterday. we've had our roland for alittle over a year now and are doing things we haven't done before which i must admit i do like! however we don't do any type of wraps, i leave that to people who know what there doing!

got me thinking, what exactly is involved in a boat wrap? i know flamey did one not so long ago which looked awesome, just how hard is it to do, and do right? again, i wouldn't attempt this myself, but i would be interested in whats involved.

In my opinion, it's easier then a vehicle. Just need some experience using the right material.
here's one we did.

Thanks rush,

For that i think we used 3m 180cv3. And yes, we seal every edge

what do you seal the edge with?

kinda figured it would be 3m for the material.

Why Avery on the next boat? I've used Arlon, 3M, Oracal and General Formulations, but never tried Avery. I have had pretty bad luck with their cut vinyls in the past.
