LOL
 i've been using clear contact paper from walmart.  works surprisingly good

Are you serious?
Does this really work?
I would love to have some clear for RTA.
I hate giving them paper tape.
It's looks crappy, even though I think it works better.

What's the difference in RTape Clear Choice AT60 - General Purpose Clear High-tack  and RTape Conform Series 4076-RLA - High-tack Application Tape with RLA.  Please help.

I do a lot of stickers to sell, those look better on display with clear tape over paper tape...

Personally, I prefer the RTape over TransferRite. I use the AT60 Clear Choice for standard stickers and AT42 RLA Clear Conform for the bigger or highly detailed ones.

I have only had my cutter (PCut 24") for a couple of weeks now.  I knew I would also want to do 2 color decals, so ordered US Cutter brand clear tape in 4" an 12" widths.  I did not get the standard paper type transfer tape, thinking clear would be fine for finished products, and would show the decals better prior to application (white vinyl on white backing with opaque transfer tape...).  However, this clear transfer tape doesn't even seem to want to pull the vinyl off of the backing paper consistently.  I have adjusted blade depth and pressure, and all seems well with the cutting (weeds well, only occasionally cutting into the backing paper).  I am a bit frustrated, and wondering if it is the materials or the inexperienced operator.  I got this as a glorified hobby so I can make window decals, signs etc for our local community theater, friends etc. but I have already got offers for real jobs.  If I can't get this transfer tape thing worked out I will have to do all of the applications myself which kills the "here, I made this for you" kind of thing.

Any words of wisdom?   Huh?


Lose that crap....that is the stuff I have 2 rolls of and its crap. i got R-tape http://www.uscutter.com/RTape-Conform-Series-4076-RLA--High-tack-Application-Tape-with-RLA-100yd_p_144.html and I love it...I bet the clear is good too of this brand. But the stuff you have now is horrible and I had the same issues. Best of luck.
