I'm going to be doing my 1st vinyl application and I have 6 words that I'll be doing on a business window. There all 9 inches in height and they range from 48 inches to 76 inches long in width.
I've read different things on doing it wet or dry, what would you recommend doing for images this big? When doing a hinge would you just do 1 or do a couple so you work with small sections. Any other recommendations you might have would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking forward to this, I'm glad it's a buddies business that I'm doing, but still, I don't want to mess it up.
Thanks
brian

do it wet.
and i don't imagine how could you use multiple hinges in this case...
i just did two 118x32 inches pannels, dry method, indoors, and they came out perfect, but i have gained some experience now, i am glad to say
Good luck and take some pics when your done and share them with the forum. .... JB

This is what ive found that works for me when doing long applications (where the vinyl is much wider than my arm span is) Say for the piece that is 76 inchs long, I would cut that piece on my plotter with a weed border all in one section.. then would mark the center on that with my stabillo pencil... I would mark the window with the stabillo with the line being where my weed border is (as this is a straight line) and mark the where the middle of the graphic goes on the window.. .. I then cut the vinyl im gonna lay into say 3 sections.. with my scissors.. .. I lay the middle section first.. on the line.. then i take the pieces that i have cut from the vinyl and lay each side.. butting the place i cut with the scissors up to each other and placing that on the line ive made on the window.. then lay the other side the same way..
since i have a cut line ive made in the transfer tape if i but them up to each other the vinyl is straight.. and its much eaiser to handle pieces that are say 35 inchs long rather than 75 inchs long..
as long as im careful about lining the edges up and the bottom line with the line ive drawn.. there is never any problems..
Hope this makes sense.. Its one of those things that easier to do than to describe..
thanks David.. I discovered that way when i had a banner that was 20 feet long to do.. and was alone..lol
Jiarby.. that would work too.. but seems it would take more time then the way i do it.. .. donno..
Its funny how we all have our ways of doing things.. and how we can all learn new tricks all the time.
Going to do my 1st Application
