synweap223 0 Posted April 9, 2011 Hi everyone!! Total noob here, just getting started, and would like to know what type of vinyl would be good for use to make electro-etch templates?? These will be used to electro etch marks on knives, tools, and other metal objects. Its would have to be adhesive but not permanent, but also be fairly easy to remove from the backing with the transfer sheet. Gearing up to place an order, and checking out the free samples as well, and any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted April 9, 2011 any vinyl will work - you are just protecting the unetched metal from the process Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
synweap223 0 Posted May 8, 2011 I'm using a silhouette SD, and tried the stock 3mm vinyl from US cutter recommended for the unit. The stuff cuts and weeds well enough. I'm also using Greenstar clear transfer tape, but the transfer tape has better adhesive than the vinyl!! Its lifting/moving the templates and stretching/distorting them badly. Any other vinyl suggestions ?? I need something with a LEAST the same adhesive qualities as the Greenlee clear transfer tape. ANY help with this is GREATLY appreciated.Thanks!!
