ladysewnsew 2 Posted February 23, 2013 I was just asked by a buddy if I could cut something for a 1972 Scout restoration project. I am new to this I was doing crafty type projects in the past but I would like to cut this for him but I am not certain what type of vinyl to use.. I have been using GT5 for my small projects. I have a US Cutter MH731 and feel pretty confident that the machine will cut it but I just want to make sure I use a good quality vinyl. Any suggestions?

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 23, 2013 instead of a calenared house brand I would go with a cast national brand like Oracal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladysewnsew 2 Posted February 23, 2013 ok so the transfer tape should be oracal as well? I just got some clear med tac transfer and its pulling the vinyl off so I am off to order some new transfer tape. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted February 24, 2013 perfecttear paper tape - hardly ever use clear - miserable stuff for the most part. with paper tape you can also spray it after install to make the application tape come off without pulling vinyl if needed. on what you are doing try waiting a minute or two before removeing by pulling back at a sharp angle - right back on itself you do not need oracal application tape with oracal vinyl - try what you already have.

ladysewnsew 2 Posted March 1, 2013 Awesome advice.. Works perfectly and I agree papertape is by far easier to use Thank You for your help 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
