I agree, its not hard to properly apply the glue needed to get it to set properly. its possible they didnt do it in a cool room which humidity would cause it to not set properly. Its almost like when you vynil a car, you do it inside a cool building and then you let it sit outside for a while to see if anything comes up or stretches and you bring it back in to fix.
Totally different animals. If vinyl applied to a hard surface peels when it's introduced to heat, that's either an adhesive failure or a failure to squeegee out all application fluid.
Nope. They're doing some mechanical fixes, too - such as door mechanics and such.
car vynil you stretch, thats why it lifts. major pita, had to wrap a full car and i dont ever want to do that again. If i'm thinking how they did the seats are correct they wouldve laid the adhesive and then stretched on the backside till it set and then possible stapled the back side. thats how i wouldve done it to keep that tension and look smooth.
are they doing any thing else besides doors tho? like any major refurb? i mean i feel like doors are pretty normal to maintain.
I used to wrap cars for a living. You aren't supposed to stretch it - you use heat to get it to conform to curves, etc. and only stretch small areas for super tight curves, say like tucking around behind the bumper and such, and even then you only do it if you absolutely have to.
They replaced the door mechanics on Silver, I believe...it was discussed earlier in the thread. Not the doors themselves, but the mechanics that open and close them. Sorry, but I can't remember what else was mentioned.
wait... how did you one piece bumpers without stretch? maybe im not saying it correctly.
A heat gun used VERY carefully.
That’s nice and all, but it’s more along the lines of routine maintenance rather than a full refurbishment.
I didn't say it was a full refurbishment - just that they were doing more than paint and interior stuff.
Well now... the plot thickens!
Interesting report but there are several other undisclosed clients listed so it could be just a coincidence. Assuming WDW keeps the same number of monorails operating that number would make sense. If they are just reporting the contracts now though that would mean they are sometime off in the future (doubtful for 2021).
They would be delivered.
Great. Is there any chance, then, that they've been secretly working on new WDW Monorails? Or would the public know about that? Obviously there would be some record of a large contract like this, I'm just wondering if it would be possible that new monorail trains could be something of a surprise.
It is possible but unlikely. The assembly line was in Canada.
