Application Tape for use with Oracal 631?

[Xmom 0]

I need to order some vinyl and tape and wondered if there is a preferred brand and more importantly, size.  I will be making wall words so if I buy 15" vinyl, should I get the tape the same size? 

Thanks, XMom

I prefer R-Tape 4075-RLA.  I have several sizes.  If you are going to cut all 15", then go with the next biggest size.  Makes it easier to line up when pulling the tape across your vinyl.  I tend to stay away from the clear stuff, unless I am doing multi-layers, otherwise, it creates to much static.  I am curious to see if anyone else on this forum has discovered anything better for less money.  Good Luck.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I wish the tape wasn't so expensive or that it came in smaller rolls.  I am just getting started.

Are you all having issues with the Black Matte Oracal 631 vinyl as well?  White works great peeling off the backing....Black is a bear!

It's not expensive, We're talking $30-40 a roll that can be used on regular vinyl as well.
