slice&dice 2,450 Posted December 31, 2018 Transfer Tape is essential to the entire process. However, getting that tape onto your decal can be accomplished in several ways. I personally like using a holder for the roll(s), and this is attached to the edge of my work table. While I do like the steel roller unit that is sold by USCUTTER, it's too narrow for my 30" jobs. So, I made my own, using 2x4 scraps. For reference, the height between the inner bottom and the center of the dowel is 4.5" or 5" to allow clearance for a full roll of tape. I attach it down to table with adjustable c-clamps. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dwp99 283 Posted February 25, 2021 Yeah I got a metal roller and it will hold a roll up to 27" , I don't know of one that is wider. Good idea making your own. I lowered my rollers down 2.5" to keep the tape closer to the vinyl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted February 25, 2021 updated: Just came out of HomeDepot with a wooden dowel and two screw-eye hardware thingies. The 36" dowel fits through the opening of the stainless-steel 'hook-eye' (see image). This whole assembly goes into a 2x4 base wood, again, using ratchet c-clamps to affix onto table edge. The rolls of app tape work best when they have the plastic inserts (end-caps) with a center-hole. Some rolls of vinyl ship that way, I save 'em for uses such as this.
