Need Help Help! Oracal 651 is not sticking to the Transfer / Application Tape

Give RTape Conform 4075RLA a try. That's all we use and we have never had issues with 651/751/951.

 

Is the humidity high where you are at? We have issues getting it to stick properly with high humidity.

 

Yea humidity does make tape tough to stick.

I also notice that freshly applied tape is not as sticky as tape that has set overnight. When I cut tiny things I usually let it sit over night.

 

Yep you have to use special mask for Orafol products. They make it stick to the liner so it weeds like a dream. Thats why the production houses love it. Then it slows the installer way down if they use cheep mask. Not a fan of the vinyl for many reasons, that's just one.

 

It's been awhile but I am pretty sure Oracal used to recommend 4075-RLA before they started offering their own application tape. You could always use their own brand; HT55 or MT72.

 

Now that I think of it the last few rolls of 4075-RLA were giving us some issues when applying to the vehicles. Didnt want to come off like normal. I figured it was the humidity since its been super high lately.

 

Are you working out of a cold room too? That would also be a factor. For wet apply, even more so.

I'm in Ontario for reference. Humidity is relatively high (87% outside), but I'm in a temperature controlled room with no direct sunlight.

 

This is the High tack correct ?.. I use the 651,751 etc as well. The the tape brand i have been using for almost 4 yrs has just now started to not pick up the vinyl. .This is on a new Roll of Tans tape which is Greenstar Med tack. Thank you

 

Yes, it is high tac.

 

Thank you very much. Will be ordering tonight. Hope it solves the issues.

 

Well Here's an update on the transfer tape . I bought the 4075-RLA transfer tape,Works amazing . But i also ordered the Clear to test out which is 6 1/2x100 yds, Well i used about 20 inches or less of it and its pure crap. It will not lift my 651,751 off the backing ,Maybe 50% lifting if im lucky . The vinyl i bought was brand new as well .Same order., Soooooo what do i do with the clear.Its usuless to me .

 

I find the clear gets more tacky the longer it sits on the vinyl...sometimes to the point of ripping off if left on there over a week

 

Hi Colleen. Clear Choice AT65 will pull up that Oracal 651.

 

I will give it a try ,Thanks
