Matt Vinyl Lemmings
Just used some Ritrama M-Series Matt vinyl for a spot of wall art, and it wouldn’t stick…
Indoors, reasonably warm and onto a clean matt emulsioned wall that was painted about 3 months ago.
Nothing outrageous, the usual profound statments etc., but this stuff was just not sticky. At all.
Ripped it off and chucked it in the bin – is my stock past it’s use-by date? Have I been sold some duff product?
Can’t (won’t) say where it came from, but I have a few lengths in different colours for similar work – should I bin it and get say, Metamark?
Thoughts appreciated…ta. -

‘Matt Emulsion’ There may be the problem.
We went back and fitted 5 logo’s to a wall with 5 different vinyls as they all kept failing.
Although ours were digitally printed logo’s, in the end we opted for LG’s high tack vinyl. When we removed the logo there were traces of white dust in the adhesive off the wall. I suspect this was a cause.

L&M series isn’t great (I’ve used it to fill up space inside a skip).
As said the trouble is with the MATT paint.
Satin, eggshell, gloss, silk – any of them that are not powder based, but a vinyl emulsion work much better.
The glossier the better, except on the ‘easy clean’ teflon paints…stay well clear.
