   Hi Guys,
   
   I have some questions for you, regarding some printed Vinyl I have.
   
   whats the best way to protect it from heat? Basically I have put some under my bonnet, on the hole as such, and after a week or so, the vinyl as rippled & peeled off.
   
   Can you recommended anything to stop this?
   
   Many Thanks
   
   Rich

   Tbh vinyl is not resistant to alot of heat. Even out in the sun it can shrink a little

   vinyl is not ment to be expossed to heat for longer than 2minutes if it is it will shrink and get stretched up etc...
