Thread: Woodgrain vinyl

Sam,
when you say woodgrain vinyl do you mean like contact? I'm assuming you don't mean woodgrain vinyl like that which is laid on floors. I'm guessing these are cabinets for arcade games like the old space invaders etc. If they are going into a commercial situation it might be worthwhile laminating them with a woodgrain laminate (or a black liner laminate - cheaper). If they're going to be used in a domestic situation you could probably get away with contact or painting.

there is a product similar to what you are looking for localy available, I saw a roll of it under a mates arm friday, exactly what you are looking for.

self adhesive, heavier than contact and more flexible than laminate.

I'll ask the name of the product & details next I talk with him & return a post with details.

cheers

Hi,

Yes, i mean like contact. I have spoken to a couple of people about using laminate, but the replys were usually that the 'contact' is easier. But having never applied laminate, i'm open to others input.
On the flip side, these machines are not intended for commercial use. But as I say, I'm open to suggestions.

If you could, that would be excellent.

The self adhesive laminate i mentioned is called "Elesgoflex" availeble from Mr Ply possibly others.

it is probably heavier than was on the machines as standard but thinner than laminate.

Thanks. I'll look it up.

Came across this info for the ditributors, might be worth a phone call to find a local stockist.
