Using Heat and Pressure to Increase Initial Adhesion
If a higher initial surface bond is needed quickly, the following are several recommendations:
- Apply additional high pressure passes with a hard squeegee for application to flat surfaces.
- Use a finishing pass with a rivet brush on any textured surfaces, including banners and ribbed hollow plastic sheeting.
- Warm the vinyl with a heat gun or torch during installation to help soften the adhesive and allow it to make contact faster.
