What Can You Use for Transfer Tape?

[@Dh-hn9te]

The sticky side that peels off after applying an iron on vinyl works GREAT as transfer tape too. I store it by applying it onto the slick side of freezer paper.

[@christiannabrown5635]

I just asked that question. Do you even buy transfer tape or just re use that?

[@vinyetmj6973]

That is so interesting. I am in but I have t understood how!

[@brizy1215]

OMG!!!!! I was amazed by the painter's tape and masking tape trick. Thank you. 😳😃

[@AngieHolden]

You’re welcome 😊

[@traceymartin2262]

Thankyou so much for easing a headache I was having with permanent vinyl and transfer tape. Your a gem. Xx

[@McJc09]

Thank you so much , I tried for days to get a permanent vinal off the design . Green painter tape I had on hand so tried that. In two sec had the design where I wanted it. The good thing we always have it on hand. But getting the duck brand easy liner. Can’t thank you enough!!! ❤❤

[@AngieHolden]

Happy to help!

[@corinnekozak9059]

This was a fantastic video! It really helped as I really dislike the Circuit tape - always end up fighting with it!

[@AngieHolden]

Glad it helped!

I am currently using the Duck Easy Liner. I had to have something in a pinch a while back and picked it up at WalMart. I love it!! Thanks, Angie!!!

[@AngieHolden]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@ZMan-kp4pn]

Angie, thank you so much for taking the time to explain the difference. I was in a pinch and you are amazing. All the time and procedures you went through to show us the difference.WOW,

[@AngieHolden]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Hollerboydiecastseanr2349]

This was extremely helpful! I just recently got into doing vinyl decals, and finding a good transfer tape has been my biggest issue. The last tape I purchased was made by Cricut, the Strong Grip tape. It's horrible, it won't transfer the decal to the surface and it's actually even taken the finish completely off the vinyl decal itself. Again this video was very helpful! Thank You a Million Times over!!! 🤘💯

[@AngieHolden]

Strong grip is really only for glitter vinyl or a few other specialty types. You shouldn't use it for regular vinyl.

[@Lolimiggi]

I was also wondering about this :) is the vinyl being used in this video permanent Cricut vinyl?

[@shattonzubieta9533]

If your trying to use it for regular vinyl, dap your strong grip transfer tape to a micro fiber rag about 6 to 8 times to lessen the grip and you should be able to get by!

[@ericalynnharris2069]

Yes, I agree! Very helpful! I'm a newbie ☺️

[@thecooper2738]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just started working with Cricut. I upgraded my craft area with doors and dreawers. I created word labels but the transfer process was horrible. Thanks to you I used masking tape to finish 12 labels. Every label transferred perfectly!

[@AngieHolden]

Yay! Happy to help!

[@collenekennedy]

I luuuUuuuve the duck brand because a bonus is it is shiney.... which, separate of my cricut projects is a great laminate DIY for different small items I make i.e. bookmarks! And like you said, fab' price! Great Video!

I was about ready to give up and use ribbons instead. But wanted a little something more since its such a monumental birthday!! looked in my tape area and found a lint brush, it worked like magic!! was so very happy I saw your video or I would never have thought of all the other alternatives if in a pinch:) Thanks for making her 100th birthday celebration even that more special!!

Can you re-use it like you can some transfer tapes?
