I try to keep the overlap to a minimum, 1" is too much. Just enough overlap to allow for any shrinkage.

one-eighth overlap will usually suffice. If it is lettered with translucent vinyl you will see a one inch overlap from a mile away, the double thickness makes it darker. If the vinyl is completely opaque (ie: black) then you can overlap as much as you want.
