curling up application tape

Recommended Posts

well... i bought a budget brand application tape, but ONLY because:

-it was local, in stock at my vehicle wrap suppliers warehouse
-it was highly recommended by the sales rep saying it is the most sold application tape they carry. (they carry rtape oracal and several other brands)

 

 

i just cut my very first vinyl. went to apply the tape to it and, its curling up. 

i am applying it to Avery Wrap supreme vehicle wrapping vinyl the problem may be that the backing paper is very very glossy and slippery because vehicle wrap vinyl has very sticky adhesive. 

i will be using oracal 651 vinyl for most everything else but, i have avery wrap supreme vehicle wrapping vinyl (3.2 mil) in stock and felt like cutting out something for my mazda 2. 

 

 

bottom line. vehicle wrap vinyl backing paper, will it always cause tape to curl up? or could it be that the application tape itself may be just less expensive stuff. i'll be calling fellers tomorrow to ask the rep what they think, and if they agree other application tape may be more applicable for my use.
