karkess 28 Posted January 30, 2014 I had to layer vinyl today and I've had issues in the past, while lining up the registration marks, getting too close to and the marks sticking together and lifting off the backing paper, before I ever got a chance to line them up properly. I don't know if anyone else does this, but today I put a dab of dish soap on my finger and coated the bottom layer registration marks with a thin coat of soap and was able to slide it around and had no problems with them sticking together, and when I squeegeed them they adhered to each other just fine. Just a tip that worked for me. Hope it helps someone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted January 30, 2014 If it's a small decal I just put the whole thing on a piece of parchment paper and you can see right through it. I leave one edge with enough sticky exposed to hold it down while I pull the paper from between the two or if I'm worried I will just tape a hinge on there once it's in position.

karkess 28 Posted January 30, 2014 Doesn't matter the size, I would try and line it up and have one stick to the other and then it would pull the other off the backing and then the cursing would start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessefisher4 35 Posted January 31, 2014 Could also put a piece of clear packing tape over the registration marks to help hold them down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kal259 18 Posted February 1, 2014 On larger work I will cut out the top regitration mark with an exacto and a ruler, then line them up tape a hinge and peel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
