    Does anyone on here do sign writing for a living?
    I don't need anything making just fitting, I have some experience wirh varying sucsess but have had numerous tries at this one but keep making a balls of it. I need a precut flat piece of vinyl fitting to a curved surface with no creases.
    To someone that knows what they are doing the job would prob take about 20 mins.
    I have a squeegee, a water spray and a hair drier for heat if required.

    Can anyone help? Looking to get this done as soon as possible please.

    What vinyl are you using? If its monomeric it aint gonna happen lol ;-) For a light curve it needs to be polymeric or cast and for any serious curves will need to be cast vinyl.

    It is a light'ish curve,it's for a front number board on my track bike.
    I managed the back ones ok but they have a lighter curve than the front.
    Not sure if it's mono or poly, pretty sure it's not cast.
