| i have posted something on the modelboat mayhem site but i am having a nightmare with vinyl pinstriping, for a boat hull....
i have used car stripes many times before , but the latest boat i am building seems to have some kind of deathwish !!!!
its gonna go out the window soon!,
i prepared the hull as usual, painted it, and then degreased and prepared it ready to accept a single white vinyl pinstripe- i stuck it on and it looked very smart and tidy......
2 weeks later i pop into the workshop and take a look at the hull and several large sections of the striping was lifting and coming away..... the striping was clean , new and still 'sticky' but it would not stay adhered to the hull for more than about 4 days !
so after advice on the mayhem site i removed all the striping,- not that easy as i had now added some detailing on the stern in the waterline area... i bought another roll of striping from a different manufacturer and prepared the hull ready to accept the enw striping,
i carefully applied it and then put the model away , i came back from holiday 3 weeks later and the new striping has lifted in 2 places !
i think i am going to have to paint it in.... i have never had issues with vinyl like this before ! getting damm annoyed now and very frustrated !
