Cheers Martin/Gary have managed to find some now searching for countersunk instead of flush 🙂

Just wanted to thank everyone once more for good advice.

Saturday evening applied one large piece with 751c and went on a dream, few small bubbles which only took a few minutes to get rid of and went to bed happy and looking forward to full install next morning.

Sunday arrived and started in earnest, but all was not well, bubbles appearing all over the place AGGGHGHH! 2 hours in and a tea break to sort my brain out and a quick check on this thread for ideas and Lorraines post jumped out at me.

Saturday was cool and applied on shade side of van, Sunday was 28 degrees and applying in full sun, DOH.

Span it round and waited till later in the day and hey presto lovely jubbley!

Thanks all, especially Lorraine.

In my rush to finish forgot to break out the camera but will get some next week when i see customer about the next job! 😀

Decision made, going for the 751c, know I’m going to have a stress filled day and the kids may have to go without food for a few days after the catastrophic financial loss on this one but Martin makes a good point, I don’t have a lot of experience and now rather than later is probably the time to get it, Davids picture is proof that it can be done so a few extra meters ( maybe 10 ) it is.

Will let you know how it goes!

Thanks for all the responses, definatley got me thinking now.

I’ve not seen a lot of standard ( non wrap film ) cast with air release, can anyone point me in the right direction?

David that van looks awesome, bet you swore a lot that day 😮

Hello Martin

i have been using oracal (551) for standard flat stuff, will get some 751 in to test later in the week! a bit nervous about bubbles etc with it being that much bigger than what I’ve done before.

Thanks mate.

Thanks Ewan

John from Think Signs actually emailed me after seeing your post, appreciate the help 🙂

Thanks Simon,

fair point! Aren’t the air release systems just for cast and wrap film? can you get it on more modest calendared vinyl at a reasonable price?

[Elliott Willis]

Thanks Dave and Martin, Ended up ordering a Trend and an ITC bit so testing on the cards this weekend.

Again thanks for help, genuinely appreciated.

Thanks Martin

Interesting re the spindle speed, your right its a triton TA001 hand held router mounted in a router table, are you suggesting that slower is the way to go for acrylic?

ITC seem to have a suitable bit but not sure if its suitable for non cnc use, will contact them tomorrow.

Thanks Martin, Avatar was just a picture of my face ( suppose this could be deemed offensive ).

Thanks Rob, will send it over shortly if you wouldn’t mind having a go, its the right pixel size and file size i think so not sure what problem is.
