–> This may be a silly question: But How Do You………

[Andy Gorman]

Many ways. Some curves on vehicles can be overcome by careful application techniques. For example, working outwards from the centre of a large graphic to even out any gather. Whereas others require conformable ‘wrap’ vinyl. And practice. I would be happy to spend a couple of hours with you next time you want to apply something like this. Bear in mind that all vinyls have limitations and it is important to pick the right one for the job.

PS Something about ‘spreading all the light all a-round’. Am I right?

[didgeridoopete]

Thankyou for the reply and especially for the offer of help!

I would really like the opertunity to pick your brains also on what my software can do ( i use sign-lab 5 ) as i have never been shown how to operate the software and only use it foir the very basic lettering stuff.
I would like to learn how to curve the lettering and especially how you do text and pictures in differnt colours of viny by means of cutting one bit one colour and another bit another colour??

I guess i am right in assuming that you work in the industry and would happily pay you for your time and expertise to show me how to do the sort of stuff above. If you arnt interested in money i could always buy you some beer at the pub etc etc
Let me know what you think??
Thanks
Peter

If you contact me directly on petebis@yahoo.com i will give you my mobile number.
PS i live in sunny wilby / wellingorough.

Peter:
If you have Signlab 5 then you have a very special programme and to be just cutting ‘straight letters’ is liking having a porche and driving around in your garage all day. It is great if you can have a guiding hand but there is real fun in finding out for yourself what a brilliant package it is simply by trial and error.

The……… ‘I wonder what will happen if I press this’ method is perhaps the long route but it is great fun.

Most of us learnt this way but if you can get a start by a willing volunteer then I don’t blame you for snapping it up

I like to use a hair dryer and a felt squeegee.
Helps to get the stuff into tight spaces.
I’m NO vynull expert tho.
Nothing beats a can of paint and a brush, to me,
for getting into those pesky nooks and crannies!
Love….Jill

[Andy Gorman]

To tell you the truth John, I’m pretty quiet at the moment and would do anything for a few cups of coffee and a chocolate hobnob. 😀

Hey Jill, if you need to get in the nooks and crannies, try a loofah. 😀

[Jill Marie Welsh]

…watch it, Big G……
j.
:booty:

[Andy Gorman]

I was kinda hoping that you wouldn’t know what a loofah was and I would get away with that rather crude joke.

I love that phrase: ” Nooks and crannies “. What’s a cranny?

[J. Hulme]

quote big G:

What’s a cranny?

A small opening. 😉

Be careful Big G that’s a loaded invitation :lol1:

I used to know a loofah: Think his name was Martin Loofah King and his mate was called Loofah Van Dross

Anyway: Don’t touch loofahs just leave it for the scum.

John

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Actually I got “cranny” from an ad for
Thomas’ English Muffins.
“With lots of nooks and crannies to hold the melted butter”
A cranny is just that….a small divot, crater, or nook.
I would prefer chocolate myself.
Love the Loofah stuff John.

[Carrie Brown]

I like puffs 😀 does the same job as a loofah but looks better!

Carrie 😛 ….. just blabbling

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Yes Carrie me too.
Why is it that men will never use a puffy thing?
Especially PINK ones! :cheer:
(I call ’em scrubby things)
Is it more macho to have a bunch of dry dead skin cells
and dingleberries hanging off your person?
They are great for exfoliating,
but I would not recommend one for vynull application.
Love…Jill

[John Singh]

I just scraped my finger nails down the soles of my feet when I’m in the shower

Yeah! I know: Disgusting isn’t it (drown)

Pink fluffy things? Only at the weekends

John

[Carrie Brown]

Jill I totally agree that the puff is probably not a very good item to use on vinyl.
……..strange how men wont use them …… its as though they think they are immune to dead skin cells or they really do believe that women like a bit of rough …… but they take it in the wrong sense and I dont want anybody with dingleberries near me :lol1: 😉

Carrie 😛 ….. blue puff owner …… :lol1:

[John Singh]

dingleberries?

What are they? 🙁

[Jill Marie Welsh]

If you have to ask, John, I ain’t telling.
Maybe they are not the same thing over the pond as they are here,
but I assure you, dingleberries are universal.
Love….Jill :lol1:

[John Singh]

OK

Now I feel like a right twerp

Just cottoned on
Never heard them called that before 😳

Shall we stick to loofahs

John

[Paul Rollason]

No John

It’s the dingleberries that stick to the loofahs

Paul R(Mackerelbus Design)

[Mark Shipley]

Are dingleberries applied wet or dry?

:rofl:

Mark

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Hopefully they are not applied anywhere!
They are best when removed,
or not aquired at all.
John, do a Google search on dingleberries!
You’ll be shocked at what crops up!
Love….Jill

[Lee Jones]

Done a google search

Must get out more ……….

Honestly, had never heard of Dingleberries before now,
must have been my sheltered upbringing.

BTW, the spell checker didn’t’ recognize dingleberries,
but did dingle berries or dingle-berries

[Carrie Brown]

:rofl: how on earth did we get on to loofahs, puffs & dingleberries??!! Just giggling away to myself reading all this lot.

Carrie 😛

[Mark Shipley]

I won’t post this link because it might be considered a little too naughty for the website and be removed – but instead do a google search for dingleberry and rock.

*rofl*

Mark

[Paul Rollason]

Is that the Dictionary site?

Very funny :lol1:

Feel like I wanna take a shower really badly 😀 (drown)

[Dave Bruce]

You have had me in stitches too many tears to type I had to wait a while before replying. :rofl:

I actually use a piece of netting (not knotted) and it’s great for a good old scratch, especially around the proverbial! removes even the berries 😳

Cheers

Dave

[Andy Gorman]

I wish I’d never mentioned the bloody loofah now!

What was this thread about again?

I dunno. 🙂

[Derek Heron]

im’e sure its dangle berries or as we call them up here clagnuts
anybody with an old copy of viz should find an add for a removal device for the said berries! if i remember correctly an upturned bike and a wire brush attachement fitted to the rear wheel (and no seat)

[Nicola McIntosh]

‘ dingleberries’ 😀

‘goolies’ is another word for them!! 😀

looks like you guys had a good old time last night, same as dave, laughed my head off!! :rofl:

nice one folks!! 😀

dangle berries… thats the one 😉
VIZ? ahh the laughs that comic gave me… 😉

[John Singh]

Thats sounds painful Dex, The upturned bike thing :cryhard:

Wouldn’t a long hard soak in the bath do better (drown)

John

[Dave Bruce]

I hear the jingle jangle
Of my awful berried bangle
As I apply my vinyl neat
I think of how they must feel
When I take my lunchtime seat.

What a dilema my mind is in
Those poor undies, what a sin.
How will I free this awful tangle
As those berries as they dingle, or is it dangle?
The tissue just can’t handle the grip
Scissors, oooh, they might nip.
That’s it I’ve had enough,
Out comes my trusty big puff!

Sorry, but somethings just amuse me. 😳

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Lovely poem there Dave!
Could you do me a rendering of it in Broad Scots like Burns?
Thanks for the chuckle!
Love….Jill
(all I could think of was a Cowboy tune:
~I got berries, that dingle-dangle-dingle,
as I go riding merrily along~
or a Country song:
~Mah wife left me
cuz I had dingle berrrrries….
But mah dawg, he’s still by mah side~)

Dex your spot on there. It was called the Glag – Gone, with carbon fibre bristles for over a 1000 hours of clag removal 😮

I need to get out more :lol1:

Kev

[John Singh]

Remind me of this thread again:
Is it
This maybe a silly question but how do you…….

How do you what?
Remove dingleberries
Steer clear of those with them

I think we should quit loofing around and get some work done 😀
