stacktester 78 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Tim, was it hard getting the old linoleum up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timsmith7 36 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Tim, was it hard getting the old linoleum up? The flooring was mainly carpet with exception to the floor surrounding the kitchen area. Everything came up easily in our case. After tearing into this project I am amazed just how cheaply RVs are constructed. Replacing the flooring was the best thing we have done so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YENSIDCAMPER 66 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Tim, another question about your vinyl decals. How do you get the multiple colors for the characters? The Mickey in the window I understand how the cutter works. I can also see how you pieced the blue Mickey on the sides in the back together. I don't know how you got Buzz and Think with multi colors.

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 If it works the same as my Cricut does for scrapbooking, you have to cut each color out individually and the piece it back together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timsmith7 36 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 What AlexWyattMommy...Annie said! Actually it does differ from the Cricut type cutters slightly. When doing multi colors you use registration marks. Each color is then transferred with xfer tape using the registration marks to align to the next color and you layer the vinyl. Once all the layers are assembled you have a single sticker since my explanation is clear as mud here is a link to a youtube video that shows it pretty well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI7dQbqc-9g. If anyone wants the images I have converted to a vector format I would be glad to share, just ask. If you need a certain image again feel free to ask I would be glad to share. I will be replacing and or repairing some of the stickers due to my awning replacement disaster which just p&*$%#@ me off today! Needless to say when replacing an awning I would recommend that you DO NOT do it by yourself! Also, do not take the arms loose and then cut the vinyl at the top of the RV loose. Yes, I had a 18' awning under full tension unwinding like a window shade and taking me off the top of an 8' ladder at the same time. Falling on a gravel driveway hurts!
