Has anyone used paper as graphics? Namely wallpaper. I'm having trouble finding textiles with cool graphics but I've found a lot of wallpapers with really cool graphics.
Would this cause delam problems?
Thanks

I've used paper as graphics for most of my skis. Mostly in the form of logos on top of fabric though. I find that you need paper that will completely wet out with epoxy otherwise you'll have some delam issue when the paper starts to separate. I had this problem on my latest pair of skis when I tried to use thick poster type paper for a full length paper graphic.
Doesn't wallpaper have a glossy, smooth surface? There may be a bonding problem but a little test try would let you know.

This might be an issue with wallpaper. They make them so that they can be washed. Meaning that they probably have some sort of coating. Like wax or plastic.littleKam wrote:

Maybe I'll have to try
