    Hi All

    After some alternatives to victory frog juice.
    Been using it recently but not happy with results.
    Spoken to there rep and a fault with the product batch might be the problem or myself not applying it properly.

    any suggestions

    cheers

    Hi Ade,
    my advice is steer clear in the first place and use a clear vinyl laminate, that gear is a nightmare, the type I used broke the image up over a period of time, I cringed every time I saw the van that I used it on, man it was shameful.
    Few years later I had to strip it, wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy, horrendous 👿

    Hi Dave

    Yeah its not the greatest, bit messy
    Does not do what it says on tin…
    can i use real frogs?.lol

    Not got the space for a laminating machine so the frog juice was next best.
    I could apply clear vinyl by hand if i had to.
    Going to give the spray a shot.

    cheers for comments

    Ade, are these solvent prints that you are wanting to cover? If they are you should get pretty good life out of them unlaminated as far as fading goes so you should only need to cover them to protect against scuffing.
    For that I would just use a clear vinyl and if you can’t afford a laminator just now or haven’t the space then just do it by hand.
    Anything either brushed on or sprayed on is going to wear the same as the print as far as scuffing goes so I wouldn’t be using anything like frog juice to start with.
