Any problem with using the transfer on a flexible surface such as an inflatable dinghy?

Yes, possibly. Surface prep is key and adhesion will need tested first.

Why? Some plastics/rubbers/etc.. have ‘oil built in’ so that no matter how much you prep, in a short period of time, the decal will ‘fall off’ 🙁 very bad.

How to test? Prep the surface first (follow online instructions ) and then apply something like duck tape. Give it a few days. If it adheres well, no problem on the vinyl decal.

Also, it would be a good idea to allow the decal to ‘cure’ for 30 days before deflating – otherwise it may peel up on the creases while in storage.

Have another question about decals, signs, lettering,
or stripes?
