Hi
i'm now going to make some sides for my read deck on the boat :)
(done all the other signage woo hoo )
anyways it's dark blue with white vinyl writing
can i tape the letters in place with heat proof tape?

as i've cut them to fit them onto 1 sheet of vinyl rather than using 3 lol

it looks like a word scrabbled at the mo :D
