DNA_Vinyl 262 Posted November 11, 2016 Holy cow I had a frustrating night. First I ran out of white vinyl in the middle of cutting and the it pulled off the roller/rack it was sitting on and jammed the cutter. THEN the 8 decals I weeded all nice....I dropped the transfer tape on it and they ALL got jacked up. *breath* *breath* *breath* bad night... anyone have nights like that? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 11, 2016 DNA we all do and will continue to have nights like that- that is when I take the deep breath, regroup and come back at it later or the next day and push thru. Before the last vacation I had a night I thew away 104 decals due to a cutting error. that one took a cup of coffee, a short tv break and then dug back in to get it out before morning. don't loose heart or faith it happens to all of us 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swise83 10 Posted November 15, 2016 I did that just the other night, and of course a bunch i was not making any money on either.. Doing for a charity auction.. I had the window open and a gust came in and jacked up like 12 layered, custom name decals.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tatinc2000 10 Posted December 2, 2016 Walk away and come back at it later. I've been there, not so much in decals because I am just starting with them, I do CNC woodworking at home and metalworking at home and work. Try throwing away a 4'x8' of 2" thick stainless steel because you were off on a cut by a few thousandths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
