OK - you sold me on the stuff for my banner but now I can't find the stuff. My vinyl sign supplier carries one-shot but not ti-cote. I emailed one-shot asking for a distributor but am running out of time. HELP!

If you paint the banner and plan on rolling it.. coat the back too...or the paint will migrate to the untreated back of the banner and make a mess

UPDATE: N.Glantz didn't have it and Tubelite had one pint (which I ordered). Not sure that will be enough to cover a 4'x5' banner two sides (as Michael suggested). Anybody have some they want to sell me? Thanks

Camille ...believe it or not....you can use Johnson's 'Clear' acrylic floor wax as a ti-coat! Available at your local market, in the housewares section!

To follow up the acrylic floor wax thing... you can use the floor wax over the one shot when it was painted on untreated vinyl and won't dry. No kidding it will work and you can handle it and eventually it will dry below the wax. Just something to file away in your available memory. John

Well it's been hell trying to find this stuff. I did find something called anti-glare from SealGraphics - only problem is it come in 5 gallon pails! Still hunting!

Camille, the ti-cote comes in Qts & Gallons only, so tubelite probably had a Qt.....more than enough to do your project. Note...to all...Ti-cote has UV screeners in it and can also be used as a top coat.....locks down all you work and stops the sticking to the back of the banner....will also seal any sticky paint on the front of the banner. You can roll, brush or spray..., if you roll, follow up with a foam brush right away to pop the bubbles.
