How to use

To begin, create your design using your preferred software and place the vinyl on your cutting mat with the glossy side facing up. Use your cutting machine to cut the design according to your specifications. Once cut, carefully weed away the excess vinyl, leaving your design on the PET backing. Apply a piece of transfer tape over your design, using a scraper to ensure firm adhesion and to remove any air bubbles. Peel away the PET backing, position your design on a clean, dry surface, and use the scraper again to press the vinyl firmly into place before removing the transfer tape.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and smooth for optimal adhesion
• Verify that your cutting machine settings are adjusted for permanent vinyl
• Consider purchasing transfer tape if you do not already have it, as it is essential for the application process

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always clean your project surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust or oils before application. Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours after application before exposing the item to moisture or outdoor conditions.
