cold weather installation

Hi all,

We are a digital printing company thrust into the sign business with our
Roland. I would like some tips on applying laminated vinyl graphics to an outside
storefront window. I'm out of luck here in New England for 50 degrees and above for awhile. Can vinyl graphics be applied in the 30 to 40 degree outside temp range? Any and all advice appreciated. Can calendered, removeable vinyl be used? This would be "coming soon" type info and the customer wants to remove decals without residue in the spring.

If they're coming off soon, use the most economical vinyl you want. It won't matter for a few months. Just don't use a wet method or any heat to remove the application tape.

If need be, come back the next day to take the tape off or have your customer take it off.

we apply as normal remove the transfer tape then heat the vinyl with a torch until it is warm, if its windy heat from the inside

and if is on glass then use cheap vinyl and dont worry about the residue being left behind as you can use a razor blade to remove and a citrus based cleaner if needed

Hot torch on cold glass, are you sure?
Worried I'll crack the glass.
