[@claudiavessel2691]

Beautiful and beautiful font. 💛

[@Sweetkandy23]

Thank you !!!!!❤

[@cassidyraebarrera]

This is really cool!!

Opaque means the paint is NOT see-through, and transparent is what your first coat was. I have found that pulling the squeegee rather than pushing it results in less chance of snagging and shifting the letters and has less chance of getting trapped air bubbles.

love this! do you also sell the wooden base for the acrylic stands

[@annettehendricks9569]

Thank you. Clear explanation. Do you have a video where you but the vinyl on the back of the acrylic and left the front clear?

[@gailchastaingibson9575]

Just a tip instead of cutting the backing sheet remove it and use 2 pieces of parchment paper instead. Love the tool as well!

[@ClownfishDepot]

What's the benefit of using parchment paper instead?

[@Craftybowladychannel]

Thank you for this the hinged method using the tape in center was a great idea. I have been making Welcome Wedding signs and never used a foam brush either. I used a chip paint brush to get the same effects. I can't find the link for a clear acrylic boards

I tried using acrylic paint. But it comes off so easily. Like even if my nail touched when it was dry, it scartched/came off easily. How can I secure the paint ?

[@abigail71999]

sealing glue

[@al2mate]

What is the tool that you are using to remove the plastic from the acrylic? Thanks.

[@natashastruwig8063]

Can I paint the cast acrylic then cut it with a laser machine? Afraid its not good or the paint will come off in time. Love this I dont have a vinyl cutter only laser machine and sublimation appliances

[@ronyhomoet1265]

How long did you let the first coat dry?

[@jeffreyallen3796]

Katelynn Question could you engrave the backside where you painted and put LEDs around it would the engraving glow?

[@christinemunoz821]

What type of gold paint did you use?? It's a nice color

[@cindy-gs7yt]

Hi. Where do I get the vinyl transfer and printer

[@andreaballentine2917]

What if you make a mistake and need to remove the paint and start over? What can you use to remove the dried paint?

[@mlistander]

What is the tool you used to start the vinyl to release

[@mlistander]

What fonts did you use ❤

[@fatisummer9106]

Can I use Enamel paints instead of of acrylic paint cuz of sign is huge and there are many and acrylic paint are expensive and very small

[@jessicarivera8373]

What brand or type of paint do you use?

[@francis202004]

That’s my question too.

[@jenniferhawkins9116]

What’s the name of the vinyl you are using?

[@anacheng6248]

Yes, please share the tool, I’d like to order one as well.

[@crazyfishlady4958]

I would clean the surface before applying the vinyl after you placed your hands on it tearing off the plastic. JS

[@MellyOlivares]

I wish she would reply to the questions asked.
