TOTW: one man - big panes - no snap


Recommended Posts

Few days ago I had to install vinyl on some pretty big windows. 147x241 cm or 58x95

It was a challenge because vinyl sticks to the liner very strong, and here is the way I did it:

start with ordinary reverse roll, and when you start to take the liner off, make it a bit bigger than when you want to snap it

like this:

put it on the glass and pushout excess water to make it stay on the glass

now you roll that liner from the start of the peeloff all the way to the film that remained rolled

now you can keep rolling the liner (which gives you enough force for peeling vinyl that wide) and

at the same time hold that rolled film above the action so you can keep the glass nice and wet

and it aloves you to get of the ladder (that was my problem)

after the film is on the glass proceed as usuall

here is one more photo of those bigg'uns

It took 11 hrs to do it by myself and it was 46 sq meters

I don't know how much it is in sq feet but it is like one 60'' roll

I hope this helps you.

Gee wizz mate nice job but shite, why didn't you fit up any of the white tranlucents that are available and not have the drama and yet still gives the same effect?

Devil

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough of it, and it had to be done ASAP

plus we don't have so many choices here

and I like the looks of this vinyl much better then LL NRM PS2 which was my other option

and I think it is actually easier to do it with vinyl

Is vinyl the same price as the lUlu?
