Well, well, well….. I finally got it. My issue was I was trying to get the vinyl to adhere to the app tape right away. I learned that a light pressure on the tape first to get all the major bubbles out. Then I worked in a circle applying significant pressure. Wow! That was simple. Thanks again for all the help!

I’ll try that method. Thank you!

I’ve looked up videos and I try and try to get application tape to lay flat and it always seems to be an issue. I am using RTape High Tack clear trasfer tape on 651 vinyl. What are your steps in applying to a larger graphic (38”)? I start in the center then roll it down and always seem to get bubbles. Any videos that I am unaware of for a good example of doing it? Thanks

Hey Bud, Got it figured out. There a few issues that I am sure you could point out, alignment issues etc but that’s my next step to figure out. Thanks again for the help.

I think I’ve got it. It is the knockout feature. Had to play with it for a while. Thanks for the help.

It has a knock out feature but that does not seem to be it.

I am trying to get the checkers and all other objects out of the name. Any way to do this? Is it called something in SCALP? What I am doing is a two layer graphic. Red will be in the background and black as the top layer. That way the letters show red for the name. Thanks

Thanks I’ll try the two layers.

Thanks

I started with the top layer which is red, then applied the top layer (red) to the middle layer (black), then red and black to the bottom layer (red). I did not peel the backing from the (red) bottom layer. It only appears that the middle and top layer have the bubbles. Thanks

Ahhhhhh! Thanks Buddy!

So my first layer is red, the second layer being black. When applying the black to the red, the transfer tape will not peel off of my two layers to start the third layer . Does this help? Sorry I am new at this.

Hello Everyone, I am currently doing some layered graphics. It’ll be 4 total layers with Oracal 651. What’s a perfect clear tape to get the job done right? I should add that it’s a larger project. When I try to add a layer to the first layer my tape won’t peel off it’s way to high tack. Thanks

Attached is my better of the ones I have cut and did test runs on this morning. Its pretty decent for me so to speak. You can see in the decal where the 2 props on the left are thinner that the 3 props on the right. Also, some of the cuts are slightly rounded but really not too bad. Its going on a model airplane so being perfect isn't a must but I will try and learn to make cleaner things down the road.

Thanks guys! Very helpful. I will give some things a try today. I didn’t expect it be perfect being a value cutter but I think I can get some nice work out of it. Thanks again. Shane
