Wet & Wild !! A+++ Service

Wanted some graphics for my RIB, so contacted Wet &Wild (out of Hamble Point Marina ) who had previously done my registration lettering.
I wanted some bold lettering to advertise my .com site and so contacted Brett Harding in the sales Dept.
He suggested several fonts/ sizes etc and I decided on the larger print for better visibility.
I ordered on April 26th.
The lettering turned up May 2nd
That is about 6 days total and delivery to California at that.!!!!
Ok, how they do that
That's what I call service
Took the local chandlers longer than that to tie the eye splices after having to cut the lifeline!
So nice job guys; very impressive and highly recommended;
thanks again
Dal

Yep,
thats the stuff
Comes ready spaced with a paper backing.
You tape at the top to form a "hinge"/peel of the backing and smooth down from the top.
Works great!
My registration letters on the bow,have been on 2 years now in our strong sun and show no signs of lifting. So hope these stay on as well
cheers dal

Ive got that stuff too. If i recall (was three years ago that I bought it) it was overpriced (something like 50 quid for two names) but it seems to have lasted ok.
