How can you put college team logos on the boards without getting in trouble? I know a guy who makes these and sells them for 75 dollars to a local store and they sell them for 200 bucks. It is not licensed, so I'm not sure how they get away with that.
When I find the time I'm going to have a go at contour cutting laser printed vinyl sheets for resin doming

What is resin doming?
FireMalt.. how hard is the sandblasting? What sandblaster do you use (craft or full size) And where do you get the sandblast resist? I'm looking for a Canadian supplier and haven't found any yet.
Each time I read the name, I say it funnier and funnier in my head. Bean bag toss game is a fine substitute for me, but I am glad to know what these are.

Honey, Resin Doming is simply applying a polyurethene coating to give a raised domed effect to non absorbent printed items.
There are different methods such as a simple hand operated gun up to mass production machines.
Heres a video
O, I sell products with Liquid Lens. I'd never heard it called Resin Doming. and I had no idea how it was made or that it related to a cutter. That doesn't look too hard.
You can resin dome sign vinyl for small decals, however not sure how it would take the washing on a T-shirt.
Aluminium dye-sublimated ID name badges look great with doming.
Just had a thought regarding a domed item on a T-shirt. How about attaching it to the shirt with Velcro then you could just pull it off for washing then return it after.
Company Logos would be good market for this along with the logo on hats.
I don't know if I could buy that stuff. . . I'd be walking around doming water bottles, pictures, calenders, the cat, and anything else in my way!
I hear ya!! Me, too - I love that stuff!! I'd probably dome my own fingernails! Seriously, tho, I'm really happy to find out what it is... I love that technique whenever I see it on something, and was always curious about it. Thanks again, Jim.
I was looking at some badges another print shop had in their flyer and I saw the crystal bubble on them and wondered how they did it. Now I know. We laser lamacoid (2 colour acrylic) to make our badges. I'm sure they'd be more popular with the Liquid Lens finish.

you mean like removeable art? That'd be cool to have a shirt specifically for putting on velcro artwork. maybe something like those letters for refrigerators. . .everday you could make your own slogan!
Re: What else to do with our cutter? 
So stop making me!
