I have some black neoprene decks I want to mark up for my club.

Does anybody have any recommendations on what to use? I do not really want
to damage the decks with some solvent based paint.

TIA

Peter

Off to your local computer shop and purchase a pack of Transfer Paper - print
up your logo / pic / name or whatever and iron on to your deck. Don't forget
to reverse everything before printing...

Not a bad idea. Any experience of how long a transfer would last?
I am not sure about the idea of ironing the deck. Worth a try I guess.

Thanks

Don't do it!

The transfers only really work on light coloured backgrounds and the iron
has to be on the hottest setting - way above the melting point of the
rubber in neoprene.

Go to your local DIY store and get a tube of white silicon sealant. With
the smallest nozzle size you should be able write on the neoprene. Should
be quite durable when dry - especially if you apply to an area which isn't
over-stretched.

Best wishes

If they are shock cord decks you can stitch onto the shock cord if you
are careful - remember to leave room for it to stretch - the other
option is sowing name tags on the deck release

Just a thought

Tosh! Use white text or graphics...?

More tosh!

I used the technique commercially on neoprene-proofed nylon gear with no
problems. Printing on to the nylon covering of neoprene items should not be
a problem. There is negligible heat transfer through the layers, IME, and
there is no direct contact between the iron and garment.

Ok.... I am confused.... how do I print white?

Doh!!

White print is merely the absence of any ink! You cannot get white by
mixing pigments!

Enough to scorch white cotton if you don't keep the iron moving pretty
rapidly!

Soo.... ironing the transfer on the deck whilst going down a grade IV rapid
seems to be the thing to do...
