Polyurethane Over Vinyl Wrap

Over time the varnish begins to wear away and the adhesive starts to go as well.

Polyurethane over vinyl wrap.

By lehua125 on sat jul 24 2010 1 52 am this is my first time building a set of boards i have stained the wood and coated with polyurethane. Let the paint totally cure dry before applying a poly clear coat to the top deck. There s a running debate on whether or not you should apply your clear coat over your vinyl decals. Been there done it.

You can use frog juice or cover it with a sheet of clear vinyl. Applied over a vinyl wrap ppf can provide an extra layer of protection for your graphics though most companies recommend using ppf as a bra on areas more susceptible to the most abuse. Using ppf on the front bumper or the lower door panels will shield your wrap from chips and damage from gravel and other hazards of daily driving. Do i have to poly over vinyl decal.

Personally i would do it but you ve got to consider how your clear coat might effect the decal down the line. The same thing seems to happen to every set. Once this happens the wrap or sticker will begin to peel away. If leaving your boards natural wood brush or spray minwax polyurethane on the wood board tops let cure for 24 hours and then lightly sand with 400 grit sand paper.

Let cure dry then apply the wraps and lightly clean then apply the vinyl wraps or decals. Once you have your letters down and put clear varnish or the polyurethane over vinyl this material will shrink in hot weather. Your playing with fire my friend.
