Howdy, I jus got a call from a guy who needs his "Curtains" lettered. He said the curtains are made from 28oz Laquered covered vinyl. He also said that lettering enamel or vinyl will not stick. And he doesn't know exactly the name of the product that was used on his last curtain job. He said paint will evenutally crack and vinyl lifts off. So I'm thinking "Silk screening inks?" Any suggestions? It's these kind of trailer curtains.

Might be worth investigating. When you peel it off the backing liner, it is not tacky like normal vinyls. In fact it feels like there is no adhesive at all. It is the methylated spirits that actually activates the glue.
Also note it can't be digitally printed - so limited to solids only. Cuts / weeds well.

Alicia, silk screen will work, lacquer thinners more expensive. I agree with Sonny, I would use the Ronan or Chromatic Ti-Cote, you can put it on with a rag, but since this is a large area roll it on with a foam roller cover or even spray it on, then use your 1-Shot and it's a done deal...
