CONVEX® Vinyl for Watercraft Decals — Great for Jet Skis, Boats, and Other Water Sports Equipment

Both CONVEX GearWrap and High-Bond are great for graphics & decals for any variety of watercraft. Since they each have petroleum resistant adhesives, they perform well for powersports vehicles.

They are both permanent. But GearWrap will usually come off cleanly when you want to change the graphics. High-Bond may leave adhesive behind. That is why High-Bond is recommended for low-energy plastic and powder paint. GearWrap will do well on painted, fiberglass, and metal surfaces.

CONVEX Gearwrap White is a 4 year outdoor durable film. If your watercraft only sees the sun 4 months out of the year and is out of the sun the rest of the time, well…we’re sure you can do the math.

For a some great bling, try CONVEX Chrome — a 7 year outdoor film and will not oxidize. And when you use Chrome, we recommend Convex Supreme UV laminate to protect the surface.

Laminates for WaterCraft:

CONVEX Supreme 4 mil UV laminateconvex for graphics on water sports, jet skis, boats is stable for 5 to 7 years and contains UV inhibitors to prolong the life of your graphics. This high-gloss laminate is an excellent choice to add to CONVEX base films. It adds 4 mils of thickness, making the full graphic construction 8 mils thick. Slightly thicker graphics made out of pliable vinyl are easier for the average person to apply because they aren’t floppy and they don’t require application tape. For long term mail-order graphic businesses, this UV laminate is a great choice.

Regular CONVEX, and Pro-Shield laminates are UV stable for 2 years. Pro-Shield is less pliable, but more abrasion resistant. Pro-Shield 7 mil is also available in a matte finish. The thicker laminates (7, 8, and 12 mil) put more vinyl between your graphics and the elements, and generally offer more protection than thinner laminates.

Want a laminate with traction? Try Stubbl. Stubbl is a heavily textured 18 mil thick clear vinyl laminate. It gives great traction for swim platforms and water toys, but is not abrasive enough to take skin off. Cutting Stubbl can be done with a plotter or by hand for custom shaped “traction patches.”
