It needs to be painted because it's a very high traffic area. I don't want someone peeling it off. I found a stencil vinyl that has a very low tack adhesive, so I'll be testing it this weekend. The vinyl is made for this application.<br /> I was told by a friend who does a lot of vinyl that I can use a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive. It will not generate enough heat to peel the existing paint. I will also be testing this.<br /> I also printed a bunch of sample letter sizes so that I can pick the right letter sizes.<br /> The letters will be painted in a vertical line down a round pillar. It will be about six feet long.<br /> ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â </p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 24 Mar 2005 by RETAIL74</p> <hr /><a name="a1017_16"></a><p><b>From: Ken D.

As someone else stated, you want to remove the stencil before the paint is too dry. (Hopefully the glue won't take "that" long to soften.)<br /> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1017.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=1017.1">1-12</a>  13-16</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
