Where to get Wide sheets of vinyl

<< < (3/3)

Franco B:
Hey Jav. I'm not sure buddy. After re-reading the post I'm not entirely sure what to make of it ???

It would seem a bit pointless to put the HIPs sheet down and then put vinyl on top as the vinyl would only get damaged anyway.

I only guessing here but I think that the HIPs will be very smooth. I'll email them again to see if I can get some samples so I can evaluate it.

Nacimroc:
Thanks for replies! Will check them out! I did laminate my last cab, but 2 x (12x5) sheets cost me 200 euro!  :o :o

That HIP stuff looks perfect Franco, but what is wrong with leaving it as is I wonder! Why the need to vinyl over it! The finish he got on the viewlix cab looks exactly like matt black laminate.

I'm contacting them about international delivery so will post back if/when I get it and install it!  Hopefully they won't go mad with delivery costs!

ive been to a1 signs in galway recently.

they are printing me out custom vinyl , and i'd nearly swear the guy said the sheet of vinyl i chose was 1000mm wide.
it is a special vinyl , which is designed to hide previous art or posters that are on the item for covering.
the front of it is solid white and the rear of it , where the adhesive is, is grey . so no matter what you place it on ,
it'll block out filler holes , and bad colour imperfections.

what it wont hide is holes / lumps n bumps in the wood . i used a test piece on my cab and it sticks perfectly and hides
the filler holes perfectly ( they dont show through ). i'd ring them just to verify that you can get it 1000mm wide first.

if your not living too far away , i'd call into them.

Franco B:
I personally wouldn't use vinyl. Its too soft for a material that is meant to protect the cabinet and it will just end up marking too easily.

If I was going to put time into another scratch built cab/pin etc I would only use laminate or possibly HIPs if its up to scratch....or should that be not up to scratch  ;D
