    Opaque means the paint is NOT see-through, and transparent is what your first coat was. I have found that pulling the squeegee rather than pushing it results in less chance of snagging and shifting the letters and has less chance of getting trapped air bubbles.

    Thank you. Clear explanation. Do you have a video where you but the vinyl on the back of the acrylic and left the front clear?

    I tried using acrylic paint. But it comes off so easily. Like even if my nail touched when it was dry, it scartched/came off easily. How can I secure the paint ?

    Just a tip instead of cutting the backing sheet remove it and use 2 pieces of parchment paper instead. Love the tool as well!

    Thank you for this the hinged method using the tape in center was a great idea. I have been making Welcome Wedding signs and never used a foam brush either. I used a chip paint brush to get the same effects. I can't find the link for a clear acrylic boards

    I would clean the surface before applying the vinyl after you placed your hands on it tearing off the plastic. JS
