How to use

Ensure your design is prepared in the Cricut Design Space software, then select the appropriate material setting.

Apply transfer tape to your cut design, lift it from the backing, and press it firmly onto your clean, dry surface.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your project surface is clean and smooth for optimal adhesion
- Verify that your project does not require a material wider than 5.5 inches
- Consider the permanent nature of the adhesive if you intend to remove the design later
Usage recommendations
For the best results, ensure the surface is free of dust, oil, or debris before application. Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours after application for maximum durability.
