Frequently asked questions
Can I use GF 790AE for other applications?
This product is recommended for use where a high quality glass etch vinyl film is desired to simulate etched glass. This film can be used for commercial and residential applications to glass. Typical dry applications include glass doors and windows. Note: Film not designed for cut lettering or to be repositioned (permanent adhesive). Application or transfer tape is recommended for easier application. (NOTE: Air-Egress adhesives are DRY APPLY ONLY).
If I dont have a soft edged squeegee can I use a regular squeege?
We do not recommend this unless the graphics have application tape on them. GF 790AE has translucent qualities and is a clear calendared vinyl, and as such may show squeegee marks. Regular squeegees may have burrs or uneven edges which may make impressions in the vinyl. Sometimes you “may” be able to heat these impressions out (depending on their severity), but we do not recommend heating the film on a cold glass surface, as cracking may occur. It is best to use a softer edge.
What inks is GF 790AE compatible with?
