  • Truck curtain vinyl alternative source please?

    Posted by Gordon Smithard on January 16, 2015 at 9:10 pm

    Got a job involving sticking bay numbers onto plastic/ rubber loading bay surrounds, tried using normal vinyl but it’s only a short term fix and will need something like truck curtainside vinyl.
    I know APA do a good vinyl for this but they only supply it in 10m lengths and I probably only need 3m max.
    Any ideas on where to go for shorter orders or does anyone know of a decent vinyl that’ll do the job? I did think of banner vinyl but that’s only got a short lifespan.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    use budget paint mask vinyl.
    apply the letters cut in stencil form to the curtain.
    using a small 4 inch hair roller apply ink.
    it dries in a couple of minutes.

    Ink goes a very long way, you mix it with a thinner before applying.
    a very small can of ink and a can of thinner will be all you need.
