Is this product mainly intended for small\quick repair jobs or can it be used with a entire parking lot? I am asking if it is cost effective compared to paint when doing a parking lot of 50+ parking stalls.
You could use thermoplastic for a full car park no problem! It really depends on your expectations on how long the lines need to last. If you were making lines in a Tesco car park, thermoplastic lines would be great. It might be a bit over the top for a private car park with a couple of bays. Centrecoat ST1 would be good for light duty www.promain.co.uk/centrecoat-sk1-water-based-road-line-marking.html
Awesome Idea but to labour intensive, the process is time consuming, my concern is that looking at conventional line striping hot or cold this method although a great idea will not be productive versus time and profit, to many processes to follow and you will spend much time on a project, a pitty
Use primer Preform thermo is ok for something quick way is to get it do in screed preform tends to crack a lot quicker or if u use the blow torch you could also blow the material or even burn it
Hi Janie, our premium quality thermoplastic tape for line marking contains glass beads already that act as an anti slip and reflective aggregate all in one.

I'm by no means an expert, but setting up the painting equipment and cleaning it up afterwards takes time and a commercial vehicle to transport it. I think the beauty of this system is that it is ideal for smaller jobs and requires very little in the way of equipment. If you want the lines painted, you'd have to get in a professional company. This is a DIY solution. Hire a contractor, and you'll have to wait for them ... and then re-arrange if it's raining heavily.. DIY and you can do it in your own time. I think this stuff is quite expensive, but probably saves time and money in paying other people and deciding your own time to do the job when the weather is OK.
