Old Vinyl has anyone seen this before?
Hi All,
we are refurbishing a sign for some clients and went to pick up the old ones today, to strip the vinyl and replace with the new design. I have never had such a fight removing old vinyl. They tell me that’s this current sign has only been up for 5 years. You can clearly see the lines from the backing paper and the manufacturer in the vinyl. Has anyone seen this before? I haven’t in my 16 years sticking stuff!! Would love to know what has happened? Bad fit or bad vinyl? Not fun at all! If i had known it was as bad as this i would have sold them new perspex!Cheers

Hi Jon,
i googled the vinyl to see and it is decent stuff, that’s why i am not sure whats happened to it? Bad batch or someone has applied it with something weird? its on 5mm perspex white by the way. I’ve seen monomeric vinyl last better outside in that time frame!cheers

That’s not 5 years of weathering of 9800 series! It’s looks closer to 15+ by all appearances.
Never seen that liner pattern appear either…weird. -
I used to use Mactac 9800 pro vinyl for years. Only problem I had was one roll had not had the wax applied to the liner so the vinyl stuck straight to the paper. Obviously the supplier refunded us. I have never seen this happen. Wondering how old the vinyl was before it was applied. Could be the cause.
