Need to put some lettering on vinyl, what is best? I could use some help here.

I could easily get the lettering printed on at the print shop but, was wondering if you guys have
any ideas that would work.

Wait till you see the product :smt002

Most important is to clean and prep the surface! However, not all surfaces are adhesive friendly; so no matter what you do, you may not be able to get good adhesion.  Next, the type of vinyl material makes a big difference; you want it to be able to flex and stretch with the hull when it gets warm or cold.

Best way to apply the vinyl graphics is in sections; this will minimize thenumber of air bubbles and kinks.

Do a Google search on applying vinyl graphics or pm me....
