Precautions for using self adhesive vinyl

To help remove self-adhesive vinyl, you can heat the vinyl very gently on a hair dryer using a low heat setting to soften the adhesive. Our self-adhesive vinyl can be used on windows and can also be removed this way. Any glue residue can be removed with WD40, adhesive remover, surgical alcohol, baby wipes, acetone, etc.

Remove excess self-adhesive vinyl

First, you will need to cut your design from self-adhesive vinyl and remove the excess vinyl. For the best application, you need to get a nice "kiss cut", meaning your cutter's blade just cuts through the self-adhesive vinyl, not into or through the paper backing. If the blade cuts into the paper backing, it may be a little difficult to remove the decal from the backing, or it may have popped off the vinyl already making the transfer tape harder to apply.

Precautions for using self-adhesive vinyl

Any surface to which self-adhesive vinyl is to be applied must be clean and free of surface preparation to ensure a good bond. Freshly painted surfaces should be cured before graphics are applied, check with the paint manufacturer for their recommendation on timescales as sometimes can be very lengthy. Avoid greasy, rough, or porous surfaces, surfaces that outgas easily may create air pockets under the self adhesive vinyl and eventually cause the adhesive to fail. Examples include polycarbonate, some acrylics, and surfaces treated with silicone, wax, sealant, or varnish.

Special care must be taken when applying self-adhesive vinyl to other vinyl surfaces such as flexible truck sides, banners, and stretch sign surfaces. For example, children's ride-on toys contain plasticizers that migrate to the applied mask and break the adhesive or prevent its absorption.

It is best to prep the surface by spraying or using hot wash water before drying completely, then wipe the entire surface with rubbing alcohol with a clean lint-free cloth rather than wet wipes as they contain emulsifiers to keep the wipes moist and can leave behind a hidden layer Afterwards, let it air dry completely and proceed with the application process.

How do I cut self-adhesive vinyl?

Cut with the self-adhesive vinyl side up, paper liner on the cutting mat, or feed into the machine with a paper backing on the bottom, vinyl facing you. The first step in working with vinyl is to prepare the cutting files in the cutting machine software you use.

Regardless of the mat and machine you are using, place the adhesive vinyl back down on the mat with the colored vinyl side up.

Ultimately, you'll need to adjust the software or cutting settings on your machine to handle the material you're working with. The process will be slightly different for each cutting machine, but just be sure to choose the settings for the specific type of self-adhesive vinyl you are using (for example, metallic vinyl may require different settings than regular glossy vinyl). We recommend making test cuts when using new material and changing blades, or if you have not used the machine in a while, as the calibration changes seasonally.
