Anyone ever used HAPP stick on VINYL?

Brad Lee:

Any experience on how it compares to the normal COntact brand paper youd find at the store? Thicker, textured, stickier, etc


Zathras:

i haven't used it on anything yet but I can comment on the texture at least - it is a plasticy bumpy feel - I think it would probably hold up to control panel use (depending on the strength of the adhesive.

Lance:

I just bought a couple feet of this to use for a control panel.  It looks like it will be perfect.  It it quite heavy and has a nice surface to it.  Justin has used something simular on his control panel (the parts express vinyl)



The stuff from happs looks identical to this but is REALLY wide (40") so you could even cover front panels, side panels etc with it.

Does the stickyness of it allow for it to stay where you put it or did you need to press and roll it out. Also, did it seem like it trapped air very much in bubbles as you unrolled it?     The picture looks sharp! I like the way it looks. It has an almost formica'd look to it.   Does it feel like the vinyl that you find on say a cars dash?  Just curious  :)

General Zod:

I've worked with it a few times, and once you set in place, it doesn't want to move to freely. It's definitely good adhesive, so make sure you do it right the first time.

Also, if you're curious about the look, any BestBuy or CircusCity  :D has speaker boxes covered in almost the same material. I'm willing the gamble though it's just as comparable as the vinyl from Happs.

It's only going to be as neat and durable as the application. It's like applying sideart, the more you lift and resposition, the least likely it is to hold up.

Cut what you need , for say..the side of your cab ... then peel and stick as you work your way down the cabinet side.
