Yes, possibly. Surface prep is key and adhesion will need tested first.<\/p>\n
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’ \ud83d\ude41 very bad.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Have another question about decals<\/a>, signs<\/a>, lettering<\/a>, Applying decals to flexible surfaces like inflatable dinghies can be problematic because some rubbers and plastics contain built-in oils that cause adhesives to fail over time. To test adhesion, prep the surface and apply duct tape for a few days to see if it holds. If successful, apply the decal and allow it to cure for 30 days before deflating the dinghy to prevent the vinyl from peeling at the creases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":836,"parent":18,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-106","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1069,"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/106\/revisions\/1069"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/signspecialist.com\/faq\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
