Which vinyl are you using? I think 3m only recomend the ij 380 digital for deep recesses, and does not need the primer, just the use of their own brand prep/cleaner
The primer I think is for the dinoc stuff?Peter

graphiwrap used to do a primer for deep recesess, not sure if the still do,
It was mainly intended for the old style mercs, but their latest wrap material now has a more aggresive adhesive.
Panel wipe from car body repair shops has a micro etch effect, I have used it before without problems, but I cant guarantee itPeter

Hi,
We’ve tried using PRIMER 94 but have found it way to tricky to use.
Seeing that it’s used to make sure that the vinyl sticks if you happened to squeeze it to place wrong, then there is no way you are getting that vinyl of without it breaking off. At the moment we decided to stop using it and instead reassure us that the vinyl is well cleaned as well as we on the reassess first lay a strip and then cover it with the vinyl and cut in the middle allowing that vinyl to fall straight and cover a piece of the strip. In that way you have no tension being built up from stretching the vinyl = no need to reheat the vinyl to "burn" it’s memory.
Hope this helps out…
