I wouldn’t use it on creases mate, strictly flat sides.

Bump it up to 751.
I only use 651 on corosigns, banners, and windhield stickers for teenagers.
Think of it this way:
The more valuable the substrate, the higher performance the vinyl.

Problem is I’m having to order 11 rolls of 5m in various colours to flood coat 58x Foamex shields at 1.5ft Square. These are only going to be displayed indoor so I thought 651 would be OK?? And i just wanted to know if I could use the leftover vinyl on Vans etc. As most of the colours i’m ordering i rarely/never use (the sheilds have to be a set colour).

651 will be ok for flood coating the Foamex sheilds won’t it???

most of my work, unless over big recesses, is done with 651, never had it fail me yet (famous last words !), it conforms ok around door edges etc with some heat, and small depressions, such as blanked off door handle recesses of a few mm, on trucks no problem. but dont expect to be too adventurous with it !

as jill says, 751 for owt involving rcesss,

We use 651 For everything…Vans, Signs, Banners in over ten years have never had a problem except that the yellow fades. You can use it in recess
as long as you bend it into the shape and not stretch it at all.
