    This is a long shot. I'm asking here because maybe it's relevant.

    My father builds wooden benches. He uses truck tailgates and so on when he makes them.

    Anyway, on his new project, he's wanting to apply artwork to a plywood sheet for the back. He's not sure of what he needs, and, frankly, neither do I.

    He knows some guys in Illinois that wrap sprint cars, but hasn't gotten much help or feedback from them. He's wondering where he can go for help on this, or if he should buy a vinyl printer. He thinks if he bought a vinyl printer, he'd have plenty of reason to use it (and to be honest, I could find some too).

    I'm a clueless wrench turner trying to help out my *very* driven farmer father. I need help/advice.

    As always, my thanks in advance.

    Thanks. He's very proud of them. Which I enjoy in itself.

    Bump. I hate doing that.

    What type of artwork is he looking to apply (an example would be great)?

    #6 7 years ago

    I really don't know. If I had to guess, it's going to be a photograph of some kind of a friend's sprint car.

    I would talk to a local sign shop, they should be able to set you up with some options.

    They can create a vinyl peal and stick that you could apply and take back off if you wanted too. They do personal one of's.

    I can help, I own a sign company and can print something. For him that will stick to wood. Pm sent.

    Thanks for the help, everyone. I have to get ready for a work trip to Michigan, so I'll have to get in touch with dad when I get back.
