Cheers Nic, these are all fairly new so cant see the point in replacing them. Will give cellulose a go

[Russell Spencer]

the cellulose may attack the surface of the dibond if left on too long.
Can you not use grey back vinyl and overlaminate them?

ive never came across that, and ive cleaned many….if anything the outline of the existing vinyl was more visible with grime and more awkward to remove 😀

tried to cover over but you still see the faint outlines of the old text

if flood coating is ok i would have flattened with some wet&dry first to hide the ridges

Sorry guys.

I don’t care how new the panels are, it’s better to throw them away and start again.

i would agree John………..minimum £35 an hour because it is a horrible job……suddenly new panels are not only the best option but a cheaper one too so everyone is happy. Skybond panels are cheap 😀

Don’t lose sight of the wood for the trees when trying too hard to save a tight customer money…………you will get little thanks for it.

Working close with cellulose thinners is seriously not good for your health.
i would rather justify the cost of a perfect job than apologize for the shortcomings of a job done to a price…….just my opinion.

I’m with the two Johns but is using the reverse not an option ??

These panels are 2 weeks old, has to have a change of logo and text but the monkeys who put them up scraped the backs on the walls. These do look as new but I guess I will order some new panels on Monday and re-drill the holes.

Cheers all

Chris….please ignore my previous post 😳

I’d had a couple of Stellas last night and whilst trying to be helpfull, I managed to completely ignore how ridiculous I was being in stating the obvious 🙂
