A cad-cut trick I just learned

<< < (5/5)

Gilligan:
Well, since you mentioned this thread Andy, I'll resurect it like Osiris (yeah yeah, it's been longer than three days :p ).

Inkman, are you saying to freeze sticker vinyl or t-shirt vinyl.  Sticker vinyl definitely reacts to heat as I left some the seat of the car... exciting.

So Andy... in your example do you then weed all the excess around leaving the blocks to be cut away with a knife or something?  Basically making the "lines" more visible?

inkman996:
I was referencing sign Vinyl, small details that are really hard to weed can be thrown in the freezer to help separate the cut lines. Or you can forget weeding it on its backing and apply the whole thing to the substrate and weed it off there it sticks much better.

If the piece is small, I'll weed to the blocks, and then each block. If large, I'll use the lines as trim lines to make thew weeding more manageable.
