[Member-Forum] Vinyl Graphics

[Alan James]

Joe,
I'm not sure how the vinyl is stuck on. You would have to make sure that
any chemicals are compatible with acrylic & won't cause it to craze.

Hank,

Yes, but in areas not expected to have friction contact. Specifically, on acrylic to camouflage a window/port and its frame.

Why in the world would I want to do that you say?

I have an idea for a spectacular graphic of a Kraken complete with domes for eyes on the CT. See attached image. A sort of "steam punk" meets Nazi U-boat effect. Picture it on my Seehund.

Joe,
If your thinking about using these graphics on your sub, I would say it will work fine.  I would buy some today and put some on a painted chunk of steel plate and throw it in the ocean where you can retrieve it over time.  I once did that with a sample piece of hull plate for my boat.  I sprayed it with box liner and did a one year submerged test.

Those intricate vinyl graphics that appear on vehicles these days can be quite artistic and impressive. Of particular interest, is the one-way see through technology. This presents an interesting potential for artistic expression if it were to prove viable in a marine environment.

That's the question of the day, anyone with any experience in this
 medium? Would the 3m product hold up in a marine environment?
