Alternative to cleaning dust off signs?

[Gary Birch]

We use tack rags but we also clean regularly too

[Matthew Chittenden]

Sounds good, can you recommend a supplier at all?

[David Rowland]

we coat once with water and then use a window-scraper to dry/clean the surface (like what a window cleaner uses)
we then soak again to apply the graphic

[Matthew Chittenden]

We do that for flood coating large single colour vinyls, we just have an issue with cut graphics (contour cut logos etc) with application tape. Im gonna try the tack cloths, i’ve also purchased some anti static spray from maplins, hopefully this will reduce the problem.

any good motor factors will sell tack rags, make up the order and get some 3m masking tape at the same time. They do excellent prices if brought by the box

[Chris Windebank]

oh and most motor factors will do free delivery same day

I wipe down the surface with this when mounting to acrylic or foamex.. for ACM i find a tac rag is enough.
