New to vinyl cutting

Recommended Posts

Hi just getting ready to buy my first vinyl cutter and was wondering what vinyl is easyest to weed (see weeding lines). I plan on using the cutter to make masks for painting

Thanks Ken

Personally, I like red. When I'm cutting mask for sandblasting, and the color doesn't matter, I use red. White seems to be the hardest to see.

May be me, but I haven't found a big difference between colors, except white. Now, with white, if you wipe your hand across the cuts, especially if things are not quite as clean as they're supposed to be, you can fill the cut lines with, ummm, residue.

<_<

Okay, the way I found this out was by accidentally dropping a small amount of pipe ash onto a graphic and trying to wipe it off. Had nothing to do with "dirt". I found the ash pulverized instantly and then filled the cut lines making them almost black. I actually liked it for weeding...

A glass table with a light under it works good as does fine pepper .
