Peter that is weird, most teddy bears won't touch peanut butter sarnies without jelly.

I still don't know how to post my picture.

Never mind, I've printed it out and stuck it on the wall with peanut butter for you all to see.

is there any uk suppliers of the big squeegee and any idea of cost, as at the moment we use the empty roll pushing the other roll way and find it works well but sometimes it can catch the edge of the cut vinyl especialy with cast i might add. so the big squeegee might help stop this happening
thanks,

phil

I did my first large graphic today at 0.5 meters high by 2.4 meters long. My biggest hassle was applying the application tape by myself.

I know you can get machines that can do this but can't afford one right now.

I also know you can get (or make) a dispenser for the edge of the table.

Are these dispensers any good or is there a trick to applying large graphics with application tape? I suppose it also does not help that my table is only 1.5 meters long either.

I got many creases and caused a problem when fitting the vinyl to the vehicle.

Any hints and tips will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Warren



does the video demo not help with this warren? i think theres one part were i am applying tape about this actual size/length?

phill, the funniest thing about your product is it actually sounds like a good idea. if you know what i mean

Hi Rob

That post was from January, I'm a pro with application tape now (since I built a dispenser )

I also do all my work dry now (except large flood coating, but soon )

cheers
