If you have the proper roller for brick/rough surfaces to use with a heat gun, this should be 4 hours or so….

I would say that 8' x 14' area would take roughly 2 hours. 1/2 hour to 45 to lineup and apply and 1 1/2 hours to roll it on depending on the depth of the grout lines. If you have a helper who can help you roll, that would be nice. Make sure they practice if you're giving them a torch. LOL

I'll be doing one stand-off on the right side. This is just a quick idea of what they want...they are getting one of those screens from Rocket Screens for their Hall of Fame vs. all the boards around the school. The only problem is there are two ticket boxes that they need to remove and fill in with drywall or something so there will be two smooth boxes and the rest brick looking. The other option is that they drywall the entire area and paint, of course. I sent them some pictures of what the vinyl looks like on brick so they can decide. ACM boards are an option also.

Has anyone considered the 'what happens later' part? Sure, you can stick vinyl to that brick, but why?
The 9 x 14 wall, screw a banner over the whole thing. Then next year when they want to change it to something else, you make money, again, without the burnt fingers, and don't need to go for massage therapy!
Okay, maybe I'm just getting old and tired?

It would take me two (at least). But I'm not an experienced installer.

I suggested Alumigraphics for that brick. It will last for years - especially since it seems to be inside. I just like that stuff. I've never used Polar tac.Has anyone considered the 'what happens later' part? Sure, you can stick vinyl to that brick, but why?

I've done vinyl on exterior brick. Years later still good. It can be done

Polar Grip is great and less than $350....which should put around $700 in your pocket. Both will get the job done.

Send pictures of the Polar Grip after you install it, please! if you need any film, I've got a ton in stock in my Chicago warehouse.

No, it will be even with the front of the brick

I think it's more of a permanent thing since it's a Wall of Fame. They are putting a tv screen either on the wall or in front of it with all the years of record breakers for the school. I suspect they will keep it up for maybe 10 years? It's indoors so it should last as long as the design is still up-to-date or these guys retire and someone new comes in LOLHas anyone considered the 'what happens later' part?
