Anyone having problems with Alumaweld Wide Vinyl striping on their boats? Such as small bubbles / Blisters forming in the vinyl. My new Blackhawk has about 300 small bubbles :sick: about 1/8th to 1/4 inch in size. if you take a pin and poke one and squeeze it you will find water comes out. This is from when they installed the vinyl.
Alumaweld is replacing my vinyl at this time but boat had to taken to alumaweld in White city (Medford) for the fix :( . Don't know if it's just the Blackhawks or any boat with Vinyl stripes.
Bubbles appear around the edges all over the boat.

I have a huge vinyl stripe graphic on both sides of my 21 foot custom weld and I don't see any blisters. Lots of dock rash, one minor love dent and a dozen scratches. No blisters.
I hope greenbuttskunk chimes in. He is the undesputed expert in boat graphics.

I have a mid 90's Alumaweld and the factory graphics are getting pretty bad, peeling, etc. Anyone have an idea what it would cost to duplicate or replace them? What are approximate costs to do a solid color on an 18' boat? Thanks.

Contact GBS... Why replace bad graphics? Why not get new ones, of your own design? Brad will take care of ya'........
