Application tape ?

["Deposit Please"]

I'm doing small promotional stickers for all members of a local dance school. The stickers are gonna be for the back glass of their vehicles. I'm using 1 color (white oracal 651) to keep it simple, but there is small lettering in the decal that i'm concerned with as the customers will be putting it on themselves. I currently use a medium-tack application tape, but i'm thinking about getting high-tack because i don't want any of the letters left behind when customers remove the backing. Never used high-tack, good idea for this project??? thanks

high tack is RIDICULOUSLY tacky.... i've pulled contact cemented laminate off sintra lettering before with it.

just use regular mask and remind the customers to give the decal another squeegee before peeling the backing off.

i only use r tape conform 4075 (which is a high tack) and have never had any problems

High over medium?

Thanks guys

use clear overlay....it's harder to wrinkle whenthe customer puts it on....but i wouldn't go high-tac

I would recommened a clear transfer tape so the customer is seeing what he/she is doing. I wouldnt use high tack because the vinyl may still stick to the transfer tape and not come off onto the window.

Pretty much the same thing here. Never had a problem. Have used clear before but dont like it. Seems to stretch to much and cause problems.

The problem we had with clear is that some customers will apply the decal and not remove the clear transfer tape thinking that this is how it is supposed to be.

I have had calls from customers yelling at me because their decal is already peeling a couple days later after they put it on. Turned out they left the clear on.
