Happs Vinyl Question...
« on: January 24, 2004, 01:43:24 am »
Just wondering  how happs sells these (http://www.happcontrols.com/vending/acesor/49057200.htm).....
I mean, the page says
"BISON BLACK VINYL 40" x 150'
SOLD PER FOOT"
"1+:    $ 4.80"

So, if I pay just $4.80, then will I get either

     a) 1 foot X 40 inch Piece
          or
     b)  150ft X 40 inch Roll

Just want to clarify this.  Thanks Y'all!

 That is the price per foot.

You might want to take a look at the 40" wide "Black Pica Vinyl".  It is $2.18/ft until  the end of February...

Yes, it is per foot.  If you need 15 feet, you put 15 in the Quantity box when you order.

I just got my Happs black pica vinyl yesterday.  It's gonna look great on my cab. :)

I think what he's asking guys is
1ft = to:
1ftx1ft
1ftx40in or
1ftx150ft

I'm not positive but by process of elimination I'd have to say 1ftx40in, because 1502ft is alot, and would be a spectacular deal and 12ft is not a whole lot and would be outrageously expensive.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Happ sells it by the foot.  What this means if you buy 1ft. then you will have a 1ft.x 40" piece of vinyl (if the roll is 40" wide).  If you buy 20ft then you would have a piece of vinyl 20ftx40".  Happs states how wide the material is.

It's sold by the lineal foot. It'll be 40" wide by however many feet you order.

Do you have a pic of that installed? Is this stuff good enough to use instead of laminate and do a whole cab with it?

If it's anything like the textured vinyl I got from my local distributor, it should hold up quite well. On sale it's a good bargain, at $4.80 per lineal foot it's about $.50 more a square foot than laminate.

I've done the coindoor panels on two cabs in textured vinyl and it turned out quite nicely on both. Pics of them are in Project Announcements.

I wanted to use this stuff on my CP, I bought one foot of the black pica vinyl, and it was 1ft by 40ft, that's not wide enough at all, doh!

I decided to go with a graphic underlay and plexiglass on my CP instead of vinyl, and I'm glad I did!

I'm going to order one foot soon (12"x49" right?)

does anyone have pics of this or opinions?

is there at any reason at all I should get 2 feet? I'm using it for two stand alone desktop controllers i guess you could say
"Yeah... at least he built a cabinet. I can't wait to see yours. "

aahahahaa

also do you all know if this would hike up shipping charges or anything?

I'm also including marquee retainer so maybe they'll combine it

I've got a semi-related question.  How is the vinyl attached? Some sort of spray adhesive? Staples?  Held in place by the t-molding? 

thanks.

I used parts express vinyl and it is awesome. My CP was done in it. I wish it came wide too so I could use it on the sides of cabs.

It's really thin, but very sturdy. I haven't scratched on got a hole in mine yet.

Highly recommended

The partsexpress vinyl is self adhesive too.

I also use the partsexpress vinyl on modular cabinet control panels and it is great! 

I've had it installed for over a year now - it sticks great, is very durable and looks great.  Only failure I had was when some kid decided to (literally) peel a large chuck out of the panel on purpose.

Plenty of pictures from the site in my signature block.

It's adhesive backed vinyl... (peel & stick)

the happs vinyl is very good. i used it cover the control panels of my cocktail cabinet. it is easy to apply - backing is very sticky. need to take care when applying as once stuck down you wont be able to move/adjust it.
