    Being new to the business I guess its something I had not thought about alot, I am quite often asked if I do “stickers” or “that sticky back plastic” and just thought that was how its always been. I have refered to vinyl as stickers on occassions when I was struggling to explain something to a customer.
    In fact I think I asked Phill for a price for some stickers last week !!

    …I have one particular guy who always used to ask “can you do me some more of that ‘fablon’ stuff?”…and I would always reply “No, cus I don’t refurbish kitchen tops”. After some time, it’s now become a running joke and we both have a good laugh about it now…

    I think our customers appriciate what we are doing for them Gray, I dont think they can design and apply stickers quite as well as we do !!
    Phill point taken, I’m sorry mate I forgot, I’ll sort it out tomorrow.
