I use a lot of my vinyl on wood and MDF painted boards and such.... After I apply the vinyl is there a sealer I can use over the vinyl???
-
You rock thank you so much for all your help!!!! I was thinking of just doing 651 and not stressing it!!! Lol... Wish you could do it for walls too but that's a whole new battle I'll have to figure out now!!!!! So appreciate all your time!!!!!
-
Ok that's what I've been reading.... I've been a wonderful help thank you... I've noticed the paper tapes are so much easier to work with instead of the clear ones... Unless your using them for a car window type decal....
-
@skarekrow... I heard acrylic paints are the best... Do you seal that before vinyl goes in for better adhering???
-
Well the signs for indoor I use 631 and outdoor is 651...

Can I also ask a quick question about vinyl decals for wall adhering??? The oracle 631 is what I use for that as well... I haven't found a great transfer paper for this... All wants to hold onto the vinyl ... I've tried HT55 and GXF 100 .... I hope I labeled those right.... But those are what I'm reading are the good transfer tapes and they suck for me... Is it because some have had a gloss finish and others matte???

I'm thinking the only signs I had a problem with were the ones I didn't use an acrylic paint as base.... I also noticed if I seal the wood with a mod podge or laquer it adheres better...

Hi and thank you!!!! I use good paint and prep well... I use oracle 631... Is that my problem???

New Oracal Application tape for Oracal 631 vinyl
lil craft shack replied to kenimes's topic in Vinyl
Ok question.... I had read that people were using the GXF 100...( Hope I labeled that right... ) and I cannot get it to let the vinyl go at all!!!!! A little heat maybe??? -
Real quick also... I did do the 90 degree rotation and my mats I use are all custom because I need it that way... When I start horizontal to create the image and it shows going to the cutter incorrectly then I rotate 90 degrees but it doesn't change the to the smaller way... It still would make it a 35 in cut horizontally... So I'm gonna try and do the group and weed box tomorrow!!!!! Thanks again.... Also what program do you all prefer to use with a MAC??? Illustrator???

Thank you guys so much!!!! I think the problem is... When you can select your cutter... I select the new titan 2 and it doesn't give a size of the machine so it can assume that I have up to a 60 in machine to work with... Is this why it would do this also???

Since all of you seem to really know SCAL... Can I throw a quick question in??? WHen all is said and done and you are ready to cut... It shows the orientation or way the machine is going to cut your decal... My cutter is 24 in and I am cuttin a 35 in piece and its showing it being cut horizontal which obviously cant happen... so I switch the orientation in mat orientation and it still cuts it horizontal.... how can i make it cut with the lease amount of width??? its a 35 x 5 in word and instead of it cutting the 35 in all across.. my vinyl is only a 12 in roll also... so i need it to cut longer...

Ugh I had all the same issues.... actually using it without my stand because I could't find instructions.... Finally figuring it out and I've had this about a month.....
