HrdCorHillbilly 0 Posted February 21, 2009 I have the same problem sometimes. Working from home, isn't the cleanest place to make decals. Someone makes a static free application tape. I haven't tried any of it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted February 21, 2009 " Tiny bubbles .. in the vinyl " a variation of Don Ho's song I bet you are applying dry . Make up some application fluid ( ingredients has been posted many times ) & apply that way. ALOT easier to align & get all the bubbles out . VERY hard to apply dry & keep the bubbles out . They can be popped & go away usually . Seems the application fluid kills the static electricity also . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HrdCorHillbilly 0 Posted February 21, 2009 What is a good tape to use for wet application? I have some Clear R-Tape. It doesn't seem to like the wet method. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted February 21, 2009 I use medium tack . The clear stuff does not work wet at all . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted February 22, 2009 If you are applying the decals & sand is blowing , that would make bubbles . You need to have a garage or shield in order to stop that . Also sqeezee from the middle out in all directions . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NukleoN 34 Posted April 4, 2011 Rodger, what kind of wet-app tape do you use specifically? I think your suggestion is a good one. I get bubbles when applying dry too sometimes, even in ideal conditions with no wind. Wet seems to be superior, but just a little messier (and requires some kind of reasonably-priced application liquid). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wet seems to be superior, but just a little messier (and requires some kind of reasonably-priced application liquid). I bought 2 rolls of regular paper , medium tack tranfer tape almost 4 years ago locally . I am just getting to the end of it . I'm going to order some tranfer tape from USC soon . I am still on the Oracal 651 I bought then also . I'll be geting restocked soon from USCutter .. but i wont buy as many rolls of App tape .It is cheap as dirt , but i reuse it several times often .
