Problem with 3M vinyl

[Jean Shimp]

I rarely have a problem with 3M vinyl but recently I cut some high performance black vinyl for truck doors that I had to scrap. The logo was intricate. I cut an entire 15" x 10 yd roll,14 logos. We noticed part of the vinyl was hard to weed. Long story short, I believe the paper liner was bad. Got a refund for the roll of vinyl but not the labor. Beware.

We do get an occasional bad roll here too, but I would assume that once you started weeding it that you wouldn't have continued if the roll/cut was bad.

We typically have different people cutting the vinyl and others weeding and masking. So the entire roll in this case was cut at one time before it got weeded. Just trying to warn others that there may be some bad liner materials out there and hopefully others won't get stuck like I did.
