2TONE

Banner John, Let me just clear something up. I have been a member of this forum way before the contest even started and I made a post on this forum a few months ago. Just because I don't post as often as other people doesn't mean I am not an active forum member. I find the forums very useful and I get all my questions answered by just reading. If I have nothing to post, why should I post? Just to get stars by my name and become a hero member? As far as having multiple memberships with the same IP address, consider this. My business partner and I work out of my home office. He has a desk and I have a desk that share the same internet connection and sometimes we even share the same computer. He did join the forum just to enter the contest, but his design did not win. On top of that, the rules never said anything about being an active member to enter the contest. I told him about it and he thought he would give it a try. I would think that US Cutter would be happy to have new people join their forums. I have read some of your responses to people's post and you have an uninviting way of making people feel not welcome... especially the newbies.

Mader, I don't think it's fair that you were allowed to submit the same designs with different colors. Especially #2 where you have 3 different color t-shirts and 3 different color designs. The rules states that you are ONLY allowed 2 entries. In my opinion, you have submitted 6 entries between #2 and #5 and have created an unfair advantage for the rest of us. Levi, I think Mader's entries should be disqualified for not following the rules!

Hey everyone, I'm new to vinyl cutting and I'm trying to make stickers. I purchased clear transfer tap because it was recommended by one of the nice guys down at USCUTTERS. Since I'm new, I just want to know if there is a trick to applying the tape? Everytime I try to apply the tape it wants to pull the vinyl up, and by the time it's all applied, its all bunched together. I have tried to squigy it out but it creases everywhere and just does not look good. Should I be using the clear tape or should I be using something different? Please help...
