what looks like watermarks around vinyl lettering?
Hi all
i have reverse applied some vinyl text onto acrylic clear sheets for a customer internal display..no probs..the customer decided to have a
a blanket of coloured vinyl behind to make the lettering stand out..
i decided to apply wet because of the size..since it has dried i have noticed
what looks like watermarks around the lettering..is this due to the type of vinyl used (polymeric) or the way it was applied..?Thanks

Jon, do you mean you applied the flood coat over the top of your text ?
If so, you will always get a thin silvery line around the text because of the thickness of the vinyl your text is made from. I’ve had customers comment that this actually makes a nice effect ! Theres no way round it anyway 😉Nigel

Thanks for your reply..
yes that’s what has happened..but also some areas of the vinyl have “patches” on them as well..so im a bit puzzled. I dont suppose there
is a problem fitting wet like this is there?Jon

No problem as long as the vinyl doesn’t have a water based adhesive – most don’t. You may find you just have to squeegie a bit harder to remove more water (specially round the text which traps the water in the gaps at the edges). It can take a few weeks for all the water to dry so dont panic yet !
