RTape Launches New Series of Instructional Videos

RTape (South Plainfield, NJ) has announced a new series of instructional videos featuring professional vinyl application techniques, tools of the trade and an array of RTape products. The new video series provides viewers with instruction in selecting the right materials and equipment as well as recommendations in proper application technique.

“RTape is committed to providing its customers with informative content to make their jobs easier, faster and ultimately more profitable,” says John Danio, VP of Marketing for Nekoosa Holdings. “With the addition of our instructional videos to our technical resource center, our goal is to be a leading source of information for the market.”

Five new videos have been posted  on the company’s YouTube channel. The following is a description of the new videos:

• Application of Window Graphics. Installing vinyl graphics on glass can be challenging, because the adhesive aggressively grabs onto this high energy surface. Repositioning graphics on a window is generally difficult, if not impossible. In this instructional video, RTape’s Jim Hingst explains how to dry apply window graphics right the first time. He also describes the necessary steps required for surface preparation.

• Transferring Frosted Window Graphics Films.  Because frosted window films are highly textured, transferring cut vinyl graphics can be problematic. Jim Hingst provides direction in selection of the right application tape and how to apply these films quickly, easily and without problems.
