Flooding large window?

Myles.
do it how you feel most confident with, it is hard to advise, not knowing your fitting ability, only you can decide on wet or dry.

overlap the white by 5-10 mm it will not be noticed inside or out by 99.9%
of people, and gives you room for error if the edges are not perfectly straight on the vinyl, and they seldom are, unless cut on a plotter, Why not two strips though?

Hi Peter,
I only have 24" rolls of vinyl, so it has to be 3 strips unfortunately. 🙁

Unless you put it on wet, I think it will generally look pretty bad from the inside?

I would definitely recommend overlaps in the window, 50 series vinyl WILL shrink in time and leave gaps if you butt join. Well, at least in our climate.

Hi pauly,
Thanks for that. I actually did do it wet, & although it took a bit longer to squeegee it well, it actually came out very well, with no bubbles, and the 20mm joins are virtually imperceptible from outside, as Peter rightly said.
Here’s a pic of the finished job.

Thanks for the advice chaps 😀

I’ve just been told by Victory that the JAC glass etch vinyl has an acrylic adhesive and should be fitted dry. Apparently Avery told them ‘most signmakers only apply dry’ I told them they are probably wrong and that wet application is wide spread amongst general signmakers, so if you want to apply wet avoide the JAC material (doesn’t apply to JAC Serisign apparently)

Yes I can say serisign is fine to apply wet.
