Cube4You Sticker Differences

[dChan]

What's the difference between the PVC and PET stickers? What does PET even stand for? And did I waste my money paying extra for the PET stickers.

I think that the PET stickers would probably end up peeling more than the PVC stickers, although maybe not rip as much?

 

[dChan]

HUH? So I paid more for PET stickers, but they will end up peeling anyway?

DAMN!

I don't really know anything, but it seems extremely unlikely that the adhesive on the PET stickers is worse. Also, unless I missed something, the better stickers only come with the better cubes. Which type did you order (a, b or c)?

 

[dChan]

I got B but I payed extra for the PET stickers.

cubesmith.com sells good stickers.

PVC: https://secure.rubiks.com/lvl3/index_lvl3.c...kit&lvl4=pvcstk, (muted colors / 250 million rub life cycle)
Other (PET?): https://secure.rubiks.com/lvl3/index_lvl3.c...kit&lvl4=stkcls, (bright colors - life of 750,000 rubs)

Did you get them mixed up? I though PETs were muted?

 

[AvGalen]

I didn't get them mixed up. I just copy pasted this from the Rubiks site. Just follow the links and see for yourself

 

[dChan]

SO does that mean PET stickers aren't better? They just cost more?

Mylar is a kind of PET. If you've ever used Cubesmith's Mylar gold/silver stickers, you'll know how PET stickers are.

I can upload a picture of a cube with the Mylar stickers after about 2-3 weeks of using it, if you want.

 

[dChan]

Yes please. My PVC stickers are already starting to get old after only using my cube since Sunday. So does that mean PET stickers are worsE?

Compared to the other sides, it looks really beat up.

AAww, I was saving my PET stickers so I can get them autographed at the Caltech comp and still play with my cube. Now I'll have to leave my cube alone when I put the autograph stickers on!
