Universal Vinyl Thinner

Specially formulated for rapid drying on a wide variety of vinyl and vinyl coated substrates where a high gloss finish is required, this product is recommended for machine screen process printing, although satisfactory results can be achieved by hand printing.

The inks will form a positive bond with most vinyl surfaces and will dry to an extremely flexible film, which may be vacuum formed.
