Vinyl does not satisfy it, and nobody here can sign off on an exception.

On a hull that means the edges lift, water gets under the letters, and by the second season you are looking at a shadow of your old numbers. We run 3M commercial cast air-release film on every marine job. It conforms to the curve, it does not shrink back, and it survives trailering, ramp scuffs and a Coeur d'Alene summer. Gelcoat, painted hulls, aluminium and poly kayaks all take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOutside Washington and Idaho?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour set ships free nationwide as a ready-to-apply kit with transfer tape and printed instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdd-ons\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrepping the application area is included. \u003cstrong\u003eOld vinyl removal, damaged surfaces, gelcoat work and travel outside our service area are add-ons — quoted in person at the inspection, before any work starts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf JZAC vinyl fails because of a defect in the material or a JZAC installation, we replace it. Self-apply customer installation workmanship is not covered, because we do not control surface preparation or application.
