So you are ready to apply your permanent adhesive vinyl decal to the wooden wall hanging that you have crafted with love. What do you need for a successful transfer? The TeckWrap Craft Transfer Tape. One of the most important tools for avid crafters, it is a thin, pressure-sensitive film with a sticky backing that is used to apply vinyl decals, stickers, and graphics to compatible surfaces with correct alignment. It comes with or without a grid and helps in perfect installation, making the job easy and time-efficient.
The Superb Variety In Transfer Tapes
Our transfer tapes are available in three variants: low, medium, and high tack. You also get two different sizes in these, 6-inch and 12-inch widths. There is a variety in lengths as well, 20ft and 82ft, so you can create both small and large-sized projects. You can get these with or without grids. However, if you opt for the one with grids, you will get great help in the correct alignment of your design on the surface.
How To Use Transfer Tape?
Our transfer tape is quite easy to use. Make sure that the surface of your substrate is smooth, non-porous, and completely clean. There should be no contaminants or grease marks on it for the strong adherence and long-lasting performance of your craft. Here’s what you should do:
-
Cut the Transfer Tape: After cutting your design and weeding out the extra vinyl pieces, cut a piece of the transfer tape from the roll. It should be bigger than your pattern to cover it completely from all sides.
-
Apply It to Your Design: Remove the backing paper from the transfer tape and apply it to your design. If you are a newbie, it is recommended to use the one with the grid for correct alignment.
-
Burnish it with a Squeegee: Take a squeegee with a soft, felt edge and slide it over the design with slight pressure to help adhesion and allow smooth coverage. Be gentle yet firm.
-
Remove the Backing from the Vinyl: Now, slowly remove the backing of your adhesive vinyl. You will see that your design is now stuck to the transfer paper. If any of the small pieces have not adhered to the transfer tape, stick it over the design again and burnish with a squeegee. Now lift it again, ensuring that your design is completely on it.
-
Apply Your Decal: Apply your vinyl design on the blank where you want it to be, and burnish with a squeegee again using slight pressure. Make sure that your design has adhered to the surface of your blank perfectly.
-
Remove the Transfer Tape: When you are sure that your design has adhered to the surface, slowly remove the transfer tape at an angle. Do not lift it vertically. Keep it close to the surface while removing, and that’s it. Admire your workmanship.
