a request came in today to paint some 16" letters across a newly surfaced blacktop alley. This will probably be a one time use. I've seen the highway dept. put down something that looks like a vinyl and blow a flame on it to set it and it handles the traffic for several years. What is it and where can I get it and can it be cut with a plotter? Other than that, I wonder what vinyl I could put down and how to remove the app tape to use it as a stencil? I really don't want to cut a stencil out of refrigerator boxes.

I cut stencils out of PVC (with CNC router) or cardboard(1 time use)and spray. For letters that size it's kind of a pain, but not too bad, to use a pounce pattern with white powder, and paint it with a brush and roller. I use S-W traffic paint and it works real well. Dries really fast. Plan on throwing the brushes away when finished.

How about "If you can read this, you are within range. "Keep Out!"
