I called the Oracal folks to find out if series 8500 translucent is calendered or cast. It's calendered. The lady told me it was OK to use rapid tac but I want to be sure: Will rapid tac (not rapid tac II) work OK to apply some 8500 translucent to acrylic? I don't have any rapid tac II right now.
Thanks

shoot, I thought you were going to ask for the formuala, and catch roger off guard today and get it. Darn.
sorry, I don't use oracal, so I can't answer your Q.

Wayne,

I use it all of the time on translucent vinyl. I've never had a problem.

We use Rapid Tac on oracal transluscent, and have never had any problems.

You can definitely use RapidTac with Oracal Series 8500. Works great!

Anyway it seems to have worked fine.
