Large frosted vinyl

[702displays]

I'm installing a 45x94 piece of frosted vinyl that has a logo cut out of the center that's 18"x36". Should I transfer tape the whole piece or just the logo area in the center? It's bfree frosted vinyl from Mactac if that makes a difference.

We do them all the time. Use hi-tack transfer tape over the whole thing.

I use this stuff: TransferRite 1320 Ultra Clear High Tack Transfer Tape

Works well even for just regular vinyl.

if it's bfree mactac, I use regular medium-tack paper premask without any problem. I prefer to premask the hole thing because it as tendency to stretch without it.

Yeah, mask the whole thing. To add on to what bigben said; you'll likely get bubbles around the edge of the masking tape. No reason not to mask it. We've used medium-tack but only with Etchmark.
