    I just got a cricut and the vinyl that comes with it is having a hard time sticking to the tape and then transferring to the windshields. Is there a certain vinyl brand and tape you know for sure won't give me a struggle. My logo has a lot of fine lines, and letters.

    OK I have tried soooo many transfer tapes and HATE them all so far!! honestly I have only found that GLAD press and seal works the best for sticking and releasing. Can you recommend one of yours that has the same type of light stickyness but will grip just enough and release for my vehicle decals? I have a VERY important order due ASAP and I want the decals to look professional and easy for them to apply themselves since they are shipping some to family out of state. (they are memorial decals for an infant) This project means ALOT to me and I haven't even met this client in person, The father is active military 16.5 years and the fact that they recently lost a child just hit me hard. I want this job I am doing for them to look excellent!!! They LOVE the decals I designed, I just need them to work for them to apply. Please let me know a recommendation. ALSO....I'm not making a profit off this order I am only charging them for my supplies, it's just one of those jobs I felt I needed to do from the heart for someone that has done so much for serving our country.

      I love the paper transfer tape. expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape-rolls.html I find it the easiest to work with. This is a good universal tape and works great with most vinyls. The only type I have hear it doesn't work well with is the Cricut brand glitter vinyl. That comes with its own transfer tape. What type of vinyl are you using?

    • @aldonakanadys9547

      The temperature of the surface and vinyl has also have an impact on the application result. I would NOT recommend heating up, but if you are applying on to vehicle in cold conditions it may be more tricky.

    I sometimes use vinyl on wood pieces but when I use regular transfer tape, sometimes it pulls paint off (if I painted the wood piece or it came painted). Would the paper one be the one to use in this application?

    My girlfriend and I stumbled across your youtube page about a month ago and I must say that we have learned more watching you all then we have learned in the last year watching other people. I just want to say thank you for all the great information you all give. Now I have a question would we be able to use either of these two sheets as a carrier sheet for rhinestones to be used with our heat press?

    • @Expressionsvinyls
      @Expressionsvinyls  8 років тому

      Thank you for your comment, we're so glad to have been able to help! To answer your question, no, unfortunately both of these types of transfer tape are only intended for use with adhesive vinyl, and are not compatible with heat. We do sell Rhinestone Transfer Tape that's made by Silhouette on our website however, you can find it here: expressionsvinyl.com/rhinestone-transfer-tape.html. Thanks for watching!!

    • @Expressionsvinyls
      @Expressionsvinyls  8 років тому +1

      The clear transfer tape can be tricky. I think climate has a lot to do with its performance. If it is ripping your vinyl it has too high of a "tack". If you purchased from us we would be happy to exchange it for you. It seems people either love the clear or hate the clear. :) I've never had problems with the paper. I would suggest trying that.

      For intricate designs, you don't want too high of a tack or that may not allow it to transfer either. The surface can have a lot of impact on how the vinyl and transfer tape react. It can also depend on the vinyl you are using as well.

      Hi Bruce, what type of vinyl and what type of transfer tape are you using? We have a lot of success with the paper transfer tape that we carry and really recommend it. Also, what types of surfaces are you applying it to? Sometimes it is the surface that the vinyl doesn't want to stick on. So it may seem like it is the transfer tape not releasing the vinyl but instead its the vinyl not wanting to stick to the surface. Please let us know. We'd be happy to assist further. expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/

    I am trying to find a tape that will give a little so I can use on curved surfaces. I saw a video on youtube but cannot for the life of me find it again and it spoke about paper transfer tape I think. Whatever the kind of tape they spoke about they showed making various cuts on the sides of the vinyl so that it would be able to bend and adhere to the curved surface. Does this ring a bell, am I remembering correctly and it is paper transfer tape? If so do you by chance have any videos on applying to curved surfaces? Love your videos, they are very helpful, especially for someone who is new and clueless like myself. Thank you

      Joe, That will depend on the type of vinyl you are using and what you are putting it on. MED tack works great for most jobs. The HIGH tack is great when working with vinyls that have a textured glitter, etc. ps. Our adhesive glitters are not textured so MED tack works great.

      Hi Renee, the vinyl does make a difference as well as what you are applying it to. Sometime the bod between the vinyl and the transfer tape is stronger than the bond between the vinyl and the surface you are applying it to., Have you tried it on other surfaces?

    @Christine-rx8di 6 років тому

    hi i have had trouble in the past with transfer tape making decals for people. The trouble I've had is the transfer tape not releasing the decal. The decals have had to be thrown out, and also I've had to use a goo gone product once the decal was applied finally applied to remove the transfer tape residue. Will this transfer tape be as aggressive? Does it matter how long the transfer tape sits on the decal until applied? (it wasn't the extra strong transfer tape i used, it was regular cricut brand) i also have a paper transfer tape I've tried but it almost has the opposite effect. It releases the decals but when I'm trying to apply the transfer tape to the decal the transfer tape almost repels from the decal backing. i have to actually use scotch tape to tape them together . Oh the horror! Thanks! :)
    P.S. i am using Oracal 651

      Hi Christine, there are so many different types of transfer tape out there and they will all work a little different. They should not be leaving a residue on the vinyl and it should be easy to remove. We have a couple of favorites around here that we like to use. One is the paper which can be found at this link - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/ And the other is the Gridlined which would help with alignment.

    • @Expressionsvinyls
      @Expressionsvinyls  7 років тому

      Elizabeth, It could be a couple of different problems. If they vinyl isn't coming off the paper backing it may not be cut deep enough or if the backing is coming up with it, it may be cut too deep. If the transfer tape isn't coming off the vinyl it could be the transfer tape is too strong for that type of vinyl. It may also be what you are putting the vinyl on isn't smooth enough. Some types of paint will actually resist vinyl making it very hard to apply.

I have complains on the transfer tape having bumps and parts of it seperated from the vinyl. Does this happen to paper transfer tapes too or it is just the quality of my tape? Will your transfer tape have this problem too if it's rolled up with matte decals(Oracal 651). Btw i'm using a brandless clear transfer tape. Thank you!!

    • @Expressionsvinyls

      Hi David, there could be a lot of different reasons this could be happening. If it is a lower tack transfer tape then it will pull up off the vinyl. If you are rolling the decals up to ship when they receive them and press them flat they will show gaps and bubbles in the vinyl. The weather and where/how it is shipped will cause an impact to it as well. We have done a lot with the paper and haven't seen it do this type of thing.

      Hi Casey, yes you could cut through your transfer tape and use it as a stencil if you wanted to. You would want to do test cuts to make sure you get it the correct setting. Also, you would probably want to use the kind that already has a backing on it and place it on a mat like you would a sheet of vinyl. Otherwise you would have difficulty removing it from the mat.

      @Expressionsvinyls  8 років тому +1

      For the majority of heat transfer vinyls, you do not need any transfer tape. The clear carrier sheet that comes over the top of the vinyl will work as a "transfer tape" of sorts. Once you remove the excess vinyl (weed your design), the carrier sheet will have the tacky part exposed which will keep your design in place on the fabric while pressing. Hope that helps clarify!

    • @Expressionsvinyls
      @Expressionsvinyls  8 років тому +4

      There are different levels of "stickiness" but both of the tapes we carry are a medium tack adhesive. However, with that being said, there are also other variables that can come into play. We have found that the clear transfer tape seems to be more susceptible to issues in extremely hot or humid climates, making the adhesive tackier, and causing issues with releasing. Personally, the majority of us here at Expressions Vinyl tend to enjoy the paper transfer tape over the clear tapes 9 times out of 10.

      We have heard that this is not as sticky as the Cricut Transfer Tape. However, it does depend on what you are pitting you vinyl on.
