wilsedoggy 0 Posted October 23, 2008 first off, rookie mistake but i am not even sure what the difference between tack levels indicates, currently i am using high tack "R-tape ApliTape 4075" and i have noticed that when i stick a sheet over my vinyl, it works well if i place it immediately, where as if i were to let the sticker sit for awhile (ie a few days or more) it becomes much less effective. I usually end up having to slide an exacto knife under the vinyl to "lift" it off the backing and stick it back into place on the transfer tape? do i need better transfer paper? i bought it on ebay then noticed it was the cheapest stuff uscutter.com had to offer. im guessing its just lower quality tape but i really have no idea. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted October 23, 2008 Could be that the cutter is cutting just a little too deep in to the backing as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted October 23, 2008 I agree with Ken. If you cut into the backing it is hard to get the transfer tape to lift it off. sometimes it want to take part of the backing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haumana 1,220 Posted October 23, 2008 If it's not taking the backing with it, than you might need to dust off your decal before applying the app tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
