I have some old vinyls that needs used up, and a customer that want's lettering in six big windows for a large garage sale and auction.
The sale is only for one weekend, so the vinyl will only be up for maybe a week, and it will need to come off.
Kind of a perfect situation to use up some old stock.
Anyway, I don't want to vinyl to stick hard. Thinking of a light dusting with talc powder or something to make it not so tacky, for easy removal.
Anyone done something like this before?

I wouldn't think that it would be too hard to remove it after only a week on glass. Should be able to just pick up the corner with a razor blade then peel.

just paint it!

If you use powder, you may have difficulty removing the premask tape. If there's a lot of small lettering how about applying it to static cling first.

Like Dan said, don't think it'll be to hard to remove after only being on for a week.

Before applying, let it make light contact with a t-shirt then pull it back off. I remember that tip in a tips and tricks section of Signcraft years ago.

If it goes on glass, you should be able to get it off with a blade scraper easily.

Apply it with Windex, that should keep it from bonding too well. he he he he he

It's just big lettering on about six picture windows.
Probably won't be hard to take off after a week, but thought maybe if I could turn it more into a cling vinyl, it would save me some time with removal. Seems like I remember reading on the vinyl specs was full adhesion after about 3 days.
It's on glass, and the weathers getting cooler which won't help with removal.
And it's for a family member, so I'm helping out, and using up some old stock.
I'm not much of a painter OP, but I'm sure this could be painted pretty easy. It's just simple garage sale stuff. Punkin' Yellow, lime green & orange.
I like the fuzz off the shirt idea. Might do something like that...and not clean the windows first.
Once, I accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle and hosed some vinyl with Rapid Remover instead of RT. That didn't stick very well Posted by Ricky Jackson (Member # 5082) on :
LOL, directions? who needs stinking directions? when you use Rapid Remover to clean the adhesive off a panel, you'd better use Rapid Tac II to clean it or it won't stick. Rapid Roger makes some super products.
