Best way to attach adhesive reflective vinyl lettering to a vinyl tarp used in rescue equipment?
Reflective vinyl is stiffer and much thicker than other vinyl used for lettering. Application to a flexible material that will be folded up is problematic and will not hold up well, especially tarp fabric which is more porous and not real smooth.
A better solution is to use a low adhesive vinyl such as Arlon CalMask to plotter cut a stencil. Apply it to your tarp on a flat surface, and spray with a product like rustoleum reflective finish. Another method is to apply the reflective vinyl lettering to 10 oz vinyl banner fabric, then sew that onto your tarp.
