Trasfer tape application setups/best practices

Recommended Posts

Newbie here.  Just looking for suggestions on how you all apply the transfer tape to a sheet of decals.  The roll US cutters suggested does not have any backing its just one huge roll.  So Im looking for best practices. I obviously need a holder of the transfer tape roll so I can pull and apply. Im sure there are some creative Ideas here so any help is appreciated!

how large are the sheets you're trying to app tape?

I have never used a tape holder. If it have a longer decal, then the app tape gets unrolled, sticky side up, and then I lay the decal on the tape. Actually, that's my preferred method of taping regardless of size of if the app tape is paper or clear.

I built one using 2x4's and a wooden dowel. (The roll of app tape has those plastic cores with a center-hole, keeps the roll steady; without those plastic cores, the roll wobbles)  -- held onto table with C-clamps.

(the USCUTTER app tape unit is only 24" and I need 30" for my studio)
