Can I make this on the explore air2? X
What is the vinyl placed on when it goes through the cricket. The white background? Is that parchment paper?
how did you "frost" the back of the acrylic?
Can you say the name of the app you used for letters editing?

Can you make acrylic signs with removable vinyl or does it have to be permanent?
@CarlyKeller
4 жыл бұрын
You can definitely use removable vinyl! There are lower grade Oracal vinyls as well if you want something with less tackiness
Two questions if your able to help. Can you spray a sealant over the viyln to prevent scratches and to keep it long lasting? And I saw someone on another video say you can reuse transfer tape?
@CarlyKeller

Hi Melissa! The vinyl is permanent so sealing is not needed and may mess up the finish. You can reuse transfer tape! I sometimes use the same piece for smaller decals
I’m sorry I can’t find it which Transfer tape you used?

The vinyl is on the shiny/non-frosted side. You can do either though!

I know this was posted a long time ago but I'm hoping you see my question. Isn't oracal 651 permanent? Wouldn't it be easier to remove 631? I put 651 on a whiteboard for another project and I cannot get it off. I'm worried that would happen with this. Thanks so much! Awesome tutorial!

Hi Amy! Thank you so much! It is permanent but I never have an issue removing it like in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pW2bt61pYqinfMY.html but I like using the stronger type since these rentals get beat up sometime!
is the Cricut knife very different from an exacto knife?

What side of the acrylic did you apply vinyl? I have frosted sheets one side is frosted and the other is smooth. Not sure which side to put the vinyl on. Does it matter? Never used these sheets before. Thanks

The shiny side is technically the front but I like the look of both sides!
How thick are your aryclic sheets?
I tried to do this on a smaller scale and my letters got stuck. Would you say it’s easier to do w/ larger letters? Is there any work around for this?
@CarlyKeller

The smaller the vinyl cuts the harder to weed so will size the acrylic to the amount of details needed...especially smaller signs with lots of details like bar signs. Hope that makes sense!

Hi! I'd check your local specialty vinyl and craft store companies if you have any. There is one near me that is a scrapbook store, but they sell Oracal 651 by the inch, in all colors! Fingers crossed 🤞

Hey Carly! Thank you so much for the awesome video! My wife and I were following along, but we ran in to some problems! Do you ever worry about the segments that you are splitting up still not fitting? I think after staring at it for an hour we realized that when we tried to split (@3:55), the two segment dimensions still weren't able to fit in the single sheet 11.5in x 23.5in fit.
