If you are having trouble separating your vinyl from the transfer tape at the time of application, there are really only two reasons why it might be difficult:
1- The vinyl was cut too deep. The vinyl cutter blade should only lightly score the glossy side of the vinyl backing. If you see that the blade has cut the backing too deep, ask your vinyl supplier for help. 2- The surface of the wall has poor tactile properties. Vinyl lettering does not adhere well to all wallpapers or flat and satin finishes. If you are unsure of whether the vinyl will stick to your wall, ask a supplier to send you a couple sample letters. If they hang well, you know it's safe to hang a finished design. It's a great way for your vinyl supplier to use those letters that were "messed" up during the cutting or weeding process! Occasionally, the wrong type of vinyl and transfer tape is used in home decor, but those of us hosting this website ensure that the proper materials are used for your home decor projects. |
