Default thermo film or gorrilla grip best for nylon jackets

I have a customer that would like about 5 jackets that are nylon on the outside.
I have tried thermo film on mine to experiment, and now trying gorilla grip for the first time. It seems a lot thinner to work with. Does anyone reccommend one over the other. I want to make sure it stays on for them.
Thanks for any replies.

Howdy, Linda
I've been using this foer years. Use the Thermo-Grip not film. The Theermo film won't stick to nylon, the Thermo-Grip will. No need in using Gorrilla grip, more exspensive and more difficult to use. The theremo-Grip is quick and eqsy.

Does the thermo grip look like it sets to where you can feel it more? I have been experimenting on my jacket and it kind of on the edges you can feel it more. The gorilla grip, (for cad cutter so is thinner) doesn't look like there is anything there to stick, it is so thin, but it sure lays flat, but have not washed it yet. If you had the gorrilla grip on hand would you trust it through the washings?
Thanks for being so quick with my reply. The customer wants them for Xmas so I need to be deciding if I am going to brave it, and make it good for her, if it comes off.

Like I said I've been using Thermo-Grip for 15 yrs. never had any problems. Great washability. Never used the Gorrilla grip but once wen I first started and Stahl's told me that the Thermo-Grip was the best and most cost saving way to go.

Thanks again, I work with Stahls too. I will use the thermo grip since that is the one you have had a good recommendation on by experience. Now I feel more comfortable about it.
Big thanks again, Linda
