float coat correx

[David Rogers]

Do it in vinyl?

Hardly cost effective, but it’ll get it done.

[Chris Wool]

have them spray painted ?

[M Brown]

will spray painted last. can you get screen printers ink, and roll it on with sponge roller or some kind of roller?

Vinyl will be too expensive, he’ll be wanting the cheapest job going. I thought of that all ready. but thanks all the same :o)

[John Parfit]

Yes, screen inks and roller it on, easy peasy, but do some tests first esp regarding amount of thinner to use, you could easy melt the plastic if on wrong settings.

Good luck

Thanks John,

I’ll have to learn, as I’ve never had to do this before. What ink is the best, or shall I say cheapest lol

Don’t forget to get the correct thinners for your application

If I remember florescent colours do not last hardly anytime. If used out doors they fade within weeks

[M Brown]

Hi, the signs are used for cycle race events, and don’t stay out in the sun for long periods of time.

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I used to be able to get ready made fluorescent yellow/greenish correx here.
It faded within days.
I think I’d try to talk the client into plain yellow correx.
Love…..Jill

[M Brown]

Hi Jill,

I would but he has some signs already made by someone else, he wants the same again. Customers hey. lol

[Warren Beard]

well if the old ones haven’t faded yet have a look at those and see how those were done as he was obviously happy with them (why’s he not using the same guys as last time ????)

quote like for like.

[M Brown]

Cuz I’m nicer, better and more helpful lol

For a temporary event type sign, I’ve grabbed a paint roller & rolled on a quick ‘splash’ of waterbased fluro yellow, then when it’s dried, screen printed in red corro ink over it all.

Looked good, and was simple-no second screen needed, just a roller & a rush!

It was a short run of 20 corro signs- 3 ft x 2 ft. NO need really for ‘proper’ corro inks in this case-and I’ve tested the waterbased stuff we used on corro before-it lasts well enough for that sort of job.
