Cafedecals 0 Posted April 17, 2012 Hello, I'm making 5" x 5" decals for selling in swap meets and putting into bags for resale in stores. What application tape would work best so the customer can see the decal and be great for applying to car windows and such? How about in hot temperatures too?

Dr12volt1338 116 Posted April 17, 2012 Just use a medium tack regular mask.... Clear mask is usually only suitable for immediate installation and does not work well after sitting for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted April 17, 2012 I like the RTape 4075. It is a paper tape. I don't care for the clear tapes at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr12volt1338 116 Posted April 17, 2012 I like the RTape 4075. It is a paper tape. I don't care for the clear tapes at all. Only time I use clear tape is when I do a large run of mirrors or tiles where I am doing one right after another because I can use the same piece over and over and also so through it... makes lining it up a little easier... But anything else is paper tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cafedecals 0 Posted April 18, 2012 I see clear stuff being used all the time like the decals you buy in the stores. Does anyone know what they use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,464 Posted April 18, 2012 Here's a tip --- after the decal is taped, put some staples into the corners of the finished product to hold the tape from curling and getting stuck to anything inadvertently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted April 18, 2012 That is one reason I don't use the paper tape, the edges always come loose and curl up. I don't think staples would look very professional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,464 Posted April 18, 2012 How about a staple-less stapler? http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/8b70/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistic 28 Posted April 18, 2012 I use R tape 4075 for just about everything, im doing more 2+ color stickers and tried doing it with the paper masking and just could not do it, so i ordered TransferRIte Ultra and sofar loving it, even order more of it. Seems Diecutstickers.com uses nothing but clear for there die cut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
