Learning vinyl sign application for my new boat the hard way!
In the past I've applied small letters with the dry technique with so-
so results. But on the first try, I screwed up the large letters of the name for my new NR boat pretty badly. On my second try - after buying another $20 sign, I finally got my vinyl lettering of "FishWisher" applied. Having screwed it up badly the first try, I learned about using soapy water to apply the letters, then used that technique. It worked quite easily! If you're planning to apply vinyl lettering any time soon, check out the photos and a video on my homepage he http://fishwisher.spaces.live.com/bl...1394!298.entry Dale www.FishWisher.com |

What is the total weight of boat/motor & trailer? Thanks, guys. The boat dry weight is 1500#, the 90 HP Suzuki is 420#, the trailer is 650# so the total dry weight is 2570 Lbs. But all my added equipt, electronics and 27 gal gas is likely over 3000 lbs, I would think. Dale www.fishwisher.com |
