E. Wall Graphics This 2-mil film may be used for indoor smooth or textured surface wall graphics. However,
the user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and, if
required, removal characteristics. Due to the wide variability of wall surfaces, neither fin­
ished graphics nor removal is warranted, even for removable or changeable films. Instruc­
tion Bulletin 5.37 provides comprehensive information for the most successful wall graphics
film selection and application.
F. Important Information
About Bus Applications
