I re did the sail panels 2 years ago and now they are starting to bubble. I used the recommended adhesive and prepared the metal but it still happened.
Is there any fix without completely redoing the whole thing. Thanks |

no way I am sorry, probably reacted with the paint. You now probably have a mess on your hands once you remove the vinyl

Thanks One possibility is to inject adhesive into the bubble with a syringe with a very fine needle. I've seen flooring guys do this with linoleum. The bubble is then rolled out with the tool of your choice. |

I think you wouldn't want too fine a needle, adhesive is a lot thicker than most drugs, a diabetic needle likely would bust before it came out the tip. What would be a recommended adhesive? |
