Reflective Vinyl... Please help

[veddderman123 0]

I've got a cop friend who needs some work done on some squad cars but I've never cut reflective vinyl before.

Anyone who has done this before please give me some tips... Also what kind of vinyl would I be best for the job?

Cutting is the same in my experience with racecar numbers, just lower cutting depth/higher blade pressure on thicker material. It also seems to have a tendancy to rip/tear a little easier on sharp cut angles.

I've only used Avery and 3M reflectives; 3M was easier to work with but it had some sort of patterned backing on it that gave it a slight texture, Avery was smooth but required a little extra att'n prepping and applying.

what was said here is great. cut it slow and use a new blade.
