    thanks for the back links budone.. nice one mate 😉

    higgi ive used apa’s many times.. sticks like the brown stuff 😉
    apply dry but definately have a second set of hands… you need help holding vinyl hovering as you apply. once stuck your not moving it again…
    apply with felt squeegee as a nylon one digs into curtain at the edges mate…

    i have a huge contract that we may get and it involves this stuff..
    im gonna call for some samples i think as i will have to profile it myself to print onto 😕

    Never had a problem with the good old goldies! Personally I would not use a felt squeegee as I don’t think you get enough pressure. Not that you can press to hard when applying to a curtain I just prefer the stability of a nylon. When applying hold the squeegee fairly upright to the surface, don’t have to much angle on it.

    We also use APA curtain alot and never have a problem and its cheaper than Avery, although sometimes get stumped on colours and have to use it 😕

    Other pointers
    Tighten up the curtain as tight as possible
    Clean the applying areas properly and meths after
    As Rob said another pair of hands
    Stay out of the wind!

    Good luck Ian
