I need some input from the Brains Trust here.
I am seeking ideas and input on finishing MDF.
Here is the challenge. I want to be able to peel a sticky backed vinyl printed image and place it on a piece of MDF. But if necessary would like to be able to lift the vinyl and stick a new sticker to the same piece of MDF as one would be able to do were it steel.
Am I wasting my time even thinking of this or can anyone envisage a process whereby I could finish the said MDF in such a manner that it would produce a durable adhered smooth surface that would resist lifting?
I am also considering laminating and using a thin piece of Masonite and adhering that to a thicker piece of MDF whereby the thin piece of Masonite would be the sacrificial lamb in the event of the vinyl being changed.
Both pieces would require CNC routing and alignment I am just trying to look at ways to make changing the front face of a piece of MDF easy and you know me CHEAP. lol
Thanks for any input. BTW this is for indoor use.
Anyone have any experience with wrapping vinyl as they do in car wraps? I would like to ask a few questions via pm if possible.
