i've used 3m edge sealer on my graphics on windows for a couple of years now and i'm not happy with it. it seams to crack and seperate over time (less then a year). I tried using (e-tape) but it peeled up the next week. any ideas or suggestions.

Heya Wayne... I have used the 3m stuff in the past, but havent noticed the problems you describe. Have you tried the "Seal-it" pen yet? Super easy to use, its just like a felt pen, but with edge sealer in it. I got mine from either Taca(Adcam on the island) or East/West, cant remember which. Hope it helps ya some....

I'm gonna ask a couple questions(and probably get beat profusely)about using "edge seal".
1- is it to keep people from "picking" at edges? 2- is it just insurance cause you have "edge lift problems"? I really want to understand, cause I never knew there was a serious need for this(if the vinyl was bonded well 100% to begin with).

Roger, some specialty vinyls, signgold is one that I've used, are made by laminating a few layer of material together. Apparently cleaning and sometimes just weather can cause these layers to seperate. Edge seal tries to hold 'em together.

thanks for all the info guys. I guess i should have told you, it's two way vision window film. reflective on the back windows only. Maybe i'll put a couple coats of edge sealer or one shot on. I'll take a look at that pen at taca (adcam)
thanks again wayne zawacki
