cutme 5 Posted August 12, 2008 my friend is having a custom surf board made. she asked if i could make some paint masks with my plotter. i told her to give me an image to cut. she drew the skull and flower by hand and scanned it and emailed it to me. i traced it with the poly line tool and cleaned it up with the node editor. the mask vinyl is oracal 810 hiflex. i hope to get pictures of the finished board. bb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Schramm Posted August 13, 2008 I have used Oracal and it is ok but have you tried Avery? I like it better as the tack is not so high that it is hard to release in delicate situations such as my work. Living in Florida I cut stuff out for surfers quite a bit, those designs would be a hit down here as skulls seem to be the biggest thing in surfing!!! Good luck on your project, give Avery a try, its a little higher in price but the difference is day and night! Fellers has a paint mask from Pask that I have been going to try but honestly I can not stand Fellers, we have one in Tampa and those guys are pretty damn rude!!! Its like they expect you to know everything... Not to mention there money is made in selling products for wraps (which I do not do) and installing them.

cutme 5 Posted August 13, 2008 this is my first experience with masking materials. it will be a while before i try anything else as i now have a fifty yard roll of the stuff. i am planning on trying my hand at airbrushing ghost flames on my new van. it is carbon metallic black. but first i am going to try flaming my black mailbox as a practice run. here is a pic of my van. bb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
