Frequently asked questions
What applications is GF 201OPAE intended for?
GF 201OPAE is designed for interior or exterior signage, decals, nameplates, point-of-purchase displays and added opacity with the grey opaque adhesive. The air-egress adhesive allows for bubble-free applications. (NOTE: Air-Egress adhesives are DRY APPLY ONLY).
Can GF 201OPAE be removed?
Most decals can be removed with some effort, even if they have a permanent adhesive. GF 201OPAE has a grey permanent adhesive that works on a variety of surfaces. This adhesive is permanent and will not remove cleanly, but any adhesive transfer or residue can be cleaned up easily with standard adhesive removers.
Do I need a special application tape to remove cut shapes and graphics from the 203OPAE?
Many application/transfer tapes will stick to the face of the vinyl. For transporting graphics we would recommend an tape that sticks to the exposed air-egress liner. A product like Transferite® AirMask® 510U is an example of this type of premask.
