    How would you apply a 1×7 foot printed sign vinyl?? It need to be applied above a 6-7 foot high window where a smaller window is on top. would need ladders. I was thinking of cutting the graphic in two pieces and then applying each piece seperatley to make it more manageable. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I would possibly float it on wet but at 1ft x 7ft it’s not very big and could easily be done dry working from the centre outwards.

    I would have it printed in two halves with an overlap and apply in sections dry.

    Fit it dry. Tape it up securely and start applying by pulling the backing off one end a little at a time. I’m doing 20 foamex boards right now 10′ x 3′ and am using this method with no problems.

    I suppose that it might be a bit daunting for an inexperienced fitter, but that isn’t very big at all.

    I would want it applied in one piece.

    And that’s with melons on! 😉
