Vinyl

[Bill Glaze]

Steve:
I cut lettering and graphics using a small plotter.  The vinyl is 
self-adhesive, (no heat required) and is a lot stretchier than the usual 
heat-shrink coverings.  Downside is that it is heavy, and, I believe, 
would not work well applying it over wood.  At least bare wood.  Biggest 
drawback is weight.  I've never weighed 2-mil vinyl, (the stuff I use 
for banners etc.) but it's heavy.
