Why Wont My Vinyl Stick To The Transfer Paper

I have wasted many sheets of vinyl transfer tape and contact paper.

Why wont my vinyl stick to the transfer paper.

What if my iron on transfer still doesn t stick. If you are doing vines it may be a darker color and thus harder to see the dust. I ve burnished until my arm is sore and it still won t stick. Check for instructions for the vinyl you are using and make sure all of your settings are spot on.

Second make sure your vinyl is clean. If you have cleaned your surface well with rubbing alcohol but your vinyl is still not sticking try leaving the transfer tapeon the vinyl for a bit after applying it onto the surface. The vinyl will not stick to the transfer tape contact paper. Time pressing or ironing for too short a time can cause htvnot to stick to your shirt.

If it is dusty the tap will not stick to it. The vinyl is old poor quality vinyl oracal vinyl is recommended poor quality or low tack transfer tape here s the transfer tape i recommend. An good peel is key to a good transfer also remember to peel off the transfer paper carefully with an even pressure and try to do it in one pull. I ve tried both cricut vinyl and oracal 651with both cricut transfer tape and contact paper.

The wax paper below will not look dusty because you removed the vinyl layer when weeding and left that part clean. Sometimes the vinyl s adhesive needs time to adhere to the surface a little better and bond.
