anybody have any experience with Victim Board Art laminates? www.victimboardart.com i’m contemplating using them in the future on a project or two

No experience with them but looks like they have some nice stuff. 36$ for 6 square feet of rice paper of your own design isn’t too bad. You can get a lot of lams out of that. They can also print cloth inlays for a little more. Might be a good option for someone who doesn’t have a printer. Going to try it on my next board.
Yes, bought from him once or twice – I sent him image files, forget if they were jpg or tiff or what format, and he printed the lam.
Great looking results on his side, would not hesitate to use him again
they did this print for me - they did a good job and seem like cool guys - i would use them again!
Grasshopper, what material is that on, rice paper?
grasshopper - wow. looks like that answers the question for me. of what i’ve seen online i really like their artwork. just wasn’t sure about how it looked when it’s actually applied to the board and glassed. pretty easy to glass? any tips i should know?

grasshopper - on victim’s site they have 3 options for laminates:
Pro Lite Rice Paper - $36.00
Brite Lite Poly Fabric - 42.00
Vibrant Vinyl - $56.00
you don’t happen to know which one you went with? thanks

pretty sure it was the rice paper so it wets out pretty easily. i would lay it on the board, pull out your fiberglass over it, then roll up the ends and get some resin under the laminate staight onto the foam. then roll fiberglass/laminate back over it. that will help minimize bubbles. this one cost about $100 because they designed the image file too. it was a custom board and the guy really wanted this pattern so he paid for it.
Recently ordered from Victim Board Art and they screwed up my order pretty good by mixing it up with another customers order. I asked PJ for a discount since it was really late and I missed a deadline I had with a customer of mine. He agreed to the discount and since then won't return my phone calls. They do decent work, but you are rolling the dice placing an order with them.
