Quick tip when it comes time to apply the vinyl (or the painting mask) to the lexan body, especially on larger designs that are hard to position correctly on the body: Once you have applied masking tape (or transfer tape) and removed the vinyl backing paper, use a piece of parchment paper to cover about 90% of the vinyl design, leaving only a small edge of the vinyl adhesive exposed. The parchment paper will NOT stick to the vinyl adhesive and allow you to freely slide the design into exact position. Once there, use the burnishing tool to adhere the small area of exposed vinyl adhesive, serving as an anchor point. At that point, you can carefully lift up the remaining material, slide the parchment paper out, and then burnish the rest of the decal into final position. This also works great when using multiple colors of vinyl as an exterior decal - the parchment paper lets you align each color layer before adhering to the body. Hope this suggestion helps!

Top tip: when your cutting mat stops getting sticky, clean off the old adhesive with goo gone (not the wrong one Josh was using) and then mask the edges and spray 'batting adhesive' (found at the craft store, it is similar to the 3M adhesive, but similar to the original stickiness of the cutting mat). Also, keep the plastic sheet that came with it on the adhesive in between uses to prevent cat hair from gunking it all up. I use a Brother Scan n Cut which is very similar, but super easy to use vector files or the main selling feature is you can take an existing printed sticker, Scan it, then the software can find the edges and cut it out.

Oracal (Orafol) is one of the best sign vinyls on the market. The term "Intermediate" is the quality of the actual vinyl. There are generally 2 types of manufacturing processes, cast and calendered (cast being the higher quality). The vinyl you have (651) is calendered. 651 is pretty much the standard for signs and vehicle decals, etc. For your purposes of masking and decals, 651 is an ideal cost to usage value. Orafol also makes a masking material, but it would be hard to justify the additional cost. There's also a lower tack "removable" vinyl (631) which has a slightly higher price tag. But, if you're not having issues with the 651, then I would just stick with that. I would recommend one thing when it comes to making decals/masks and that would be the usage of application or transfer tape. The adhesive isn't as aggressive as masking tape which helps with the release of the decal. The R-Tape brand is a go to for consistency. They make transparent and semi-opaque versions. One other recommendation is to look in to the Silhouette brand craft cutters. They are distributed by Graphtec which is a manufacturer of commercial plotter/cutters.

Love this video!!! I have been using a vinyl plotter to help me paint for at least 20 years now. I don't use a cricut I actually use a bigger (28 inch ) format plotter/ cutter by gcc (You can get a decent sized cutter now for a couple hundred bucks that actually works if you ever plan on making larger decals) and every time I use the cutter for more of the design and do less and less hand cutting. I design all my graphics on illustrator instead of downloading them just because I'm fairly proficient at it, but I was stoked to see you show people how to pull designs off the internet instead of having to create it themselves ( which is why I think most people shy away from this bit of tech). Loved this video, keep up the great content.

I’ve been using my cameo silhouette for six years now. I originally bought it to cut vinyl transfers for T-shirts as well as window decals, but have since transitioned it to strictly a hobby vinyl cutter. I now use it to make masks for my RC cars, I have also used it used it to make decals for models, slot cars and RC cars, boats or anything that needs A custom cut decal. I use oracle 650 exclusively which is an indoor outdoor permanent vinyl. It’s probably my most used hobby tool.

I have an old school 1st Gen cricut uses the old style cartridges to change fonts 😝 but that being said one thing I use to make paint masks is shelf paper we used to call it Mac tac . It comes in large rolls and since it’s a mask colours don’t matter but white or frosted is easy to find and easy to cut.

After watching this 4 months ago (when the video was 'released'), I knew I needed to get one...not only for cutting custom masks for painting RCs, but also to make my own vinyl auto stickers/decals. Unfortunately, other things (such as getting a Limitless V2, Cross R. HC4, and Kyosho Mini-Zs, as well as moving to Las Vegas) became more important. In the meantime, they released the 3-series. Moving forward, they had some great Black Friday deals (which actually started a couple days before Turkey Day)...and, among them was the Explore Air 2. To make a long story short, it was just delivered, along with the other accessories I ordered. Yahoooooooooo!!! 🤙🏼

Before this video I thought it just created the mask, but thanks for showing the little details like how to handle the inside bits of the letters.

I have been using one of these for some time now. The options for masking a body are limited only by you imagination. Very nice detailed explanation of how the process works. The only thing I do different is use transfer tape instead of masking tape.👍

Excellent video Matt. I had a vinyl Machine in 2004 when I was racing 1:1 sprint cars. I got tired of paying 600.00+ every time I destroyed a wing. When it came to using multiple colors I used to stack the vinyl. This is a cool machine. Loved learning to use masking tape as a transfer. Great alternative to buying over priced transfer tape Thank you.

Yeah, I also used that transfer tape. Works great, but is indeed quite expensive. Gonna try the masking tape too!

At my local makerspace we have a silhouette. An old one but still does the job. To cut out stickers and templates its great stuff. I need to find a yellow painter's tape like yours because mine seems to stick too much after deburing and it's a pain to separate the cut out inserts (that little circle inside of an e, a, o,p...) to stick where it's supposed to. I too Highly recommend using one of those machines. it's great for the hobby to customize your stuff and an undeniable ally to paint intricate stuff and logos. Now that I know the machine exists, and learned how to use it, (and it's not very difficult), there's no going back. And I won't comment on the cnc or laser cutter that the makerspace also has . 😍 Wickedly satisfying and helpful and hypnotizing machines

My husband sent me this link and now he's excited he bought me a cricut years ago. They do make a vinyl that is specifically for stencils but I think it is cheaper to buy the big lots of assorted vinyl like you did. Nice to see our interests come together ❤️

I am still watching…amazing! I am a little embarrassed though. I do not own a computer. I use my Iphone &/or ipad for everything. A shame though, the CRICUT is not a very expensive piece of equipment. I spend hours searching for decals, a small fortune to have custom decals made or delicately cutting my own masks.

I just looked at the website and it says that you can use the Cricut with your ipad... you just have to download the app. Thanks for watching!

Beginner tip, Walmart has rolls of clear drawer liner and that works much better than the actual transfer paper made specifically for that, also much cheaper.

I like the use my laser cutter/engraver to do simulator things. The down side is the edges can be a little crispy if the settings aren't just right. I've been thinking about getting a cricut (or something like it) to do what you're doing and well, I think you sold me on it.
