    Welcome from SE PA! Some ppl use the cutter to score the pattern on thick stock, then cut the rest out. Sorry I am not to familiar with cutting gaskets. I've heard ppl do it for bike gaskets, but it just doesn't seem right to me...

    You should be alright as long as it isn't anything crazy in detail...Prep the banner well and dry apply. Make sure you handle the banner with care.

    You might want to see if anyone wants to trade of 631 for some 651 in the For Sale section...

    Once I cut text for a friends hood the wrong way. I ended up cutting another the proper way and pressing one on the outside (the proper one) and one on the inside (the backwards one) on the lip of his hood. It came out pretty cool like an optical illusion.

    The only other thing not mentioned that I can think of is getting an IR gun to make sure your press is at the right temperature.

    Have you tried doing the same thing with construction paper?

    Paper doesn't conform to the curves...

    If you are tying to convert your interior car parts to a flat print. I use 1/8 inch grid graph paper and lay it on the part and cut around the part. On complex parts i will cut small holes in the area of the larger part and put masking tape over the holes to hold the paper in place while i do the details. Hope this helps.

    I will give that a shot...

    Thanks ppl!

    I am trying to set up templates for my cars parts...Interior trim and exterior lenses. Any advice on how to do so? I tried freehanding vinyl over the parts and peeling them off, but b/c of the curves of some pieces, the vinyl won't sit flat (so I can scan the shape in).

    Anyone do this or have any ideas/pinters?

    I'd pitch using the shamrock on the back with the school name. Plus more $$$ for front and back!

    Then the main design on the front.

    When I think of Africa:

    Green, red, yellow.

    Continent silhouette

    Lion or elephant

    safari hat

    Something simple like:

    PASSPORT

        TO

      AFRICA

    But rotate "AFRICA" a bit and make it look like a stamp. Maybe Green "PASSPORT", yellow "TO" and red "AFRICA". Maybe throw a safari hat in the mix. Or an elephant/lion resting on the "PASSPORT".
