  • Glue for digital vinyl

    Posted by Jonathan Wallace on 17 January 2011 at 09:32

    I have been asked by a client to apply a large vinyl image of a pie to his flour sylo at his bakery. However after inspection of the surface it would appear that it is less than a smooth one. Does anyone have any advice on a glue that will help to bolster it’s adhesion.

    It is on a curve and it’s size is 4510mm x 2270. We print it in 8 sections with overlaps similar to a billboard

    i’d still go the Foamex route. Easy install, and if the surface is bad before, by the time you’ve the print on it’ll look even worse.
