Decals on dacron

Bill Scott · Post by **Bill Scott** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 1:31 pm

I have a dacron covered Rans S6 and wondered if anyone knew of a material which can be readily applied to dacron?

I'd particularly like to find a supplier of flourescent yellow material which would stick on to the wing skins and stay there

My suspicion is that most sticky vinyl products would not have sufficient adherence ?

Bill,

I have just applied some vinyl to painted fabric which came from here: http://www.vinylglide.co.uk/ aka Wessex Print Centre. They were very helpful and as they have aviation experience may have come across any issues regarding fitting to dacron. There prices were good too when compared to local sign people.

I saw that too - am guessing that something has gone wrong with the forum.

The post mentioned a material that I can't remember and a more memorable supplier http://grapefruitgraphics.co.uk

Thanks Colin, That's the one I saw.
I will contact that firm you mention, they may be able to point me to a supplier.
