    hiya

    I saw mentioned somewhere that there is a special vinyl for taught liner sides ?

    for application to the PVC curtains.

    All print supplies stock the stuff you need, but beware it is VERY stickly, and once applied, its applied, or so I have heard 😉

    Hi There,

    If you havent used it before , peter is right its VERY difficult to remove , cheaper infact to get a new tarpaulin than pay the man hours to shift it.

    i have used the truck vinyl
    not sure how long it takes for the glue to go off
    but when i used it you could peel it back off no problem but the following day don’t even think about it.
    just though i would mention it

    Hiya

    That sounds like the stuff i need, would you know if its expensive ?
    I don’t need huge amounts but it will be used in a marine environment so has to be good.

    It depends how you classify expensive, if it does the job, and your customer is happy then its not expensive.

    Call all print supplies for a price, it is probably more reasonable than you think

    If it was me and it was only a quite simple design, I would stencil and ink it……..Simple to do and will last forever.

    hiya
    yup, a stencil and Ink sounds like a really good idea

    except I have no idea what you are talking about hehehe..

    i get the principle but have no idea where to get the ink and is the stencil cut on the plotter ?

    regards

    Grey Macmask which can be cut on your plotter.

    Apollo ink and the appropriate thinner.

    But be warned, once it goes on you can’t remove it without ruining your canvas.
