anytime I want to do a new project and dont know where to start I always come back to you because your videos are always soooo helpful so thank you!!

[@bonnets2getha769]

Another hint. If you know you have a project coming up. Pre prep your rolled vinyl- unroll it and lay it flat. 👀 so you’re not working against yourself lol set something on it and let it relax. I take all of my rolled vinyl out and lay it flat (if I have a project coming up that I need a roll for I get my measurements and then I precut and then lay it flat! Hope that helps! Great video. Now I’m gonna make me a sign for the back of my truck

[@adubbproductions]

Bonnets 2 Getha great suggestion. That would work for a person that is organized and a good planner but I do almost all of these videos unplanned and spare of the moment. I literally get up and decide what I want to show people. I also try to show most of the steps from start to finish. Preparing vinyl a day before and flattening it is a great idea but I’d have to record that step too. A day in advance. That’s more work for making the video. Great advice though and makes one hundred percent sense.

[@nahnisjourney1406]

@@adubbproductions You’re most welcome. Of course, I realize you have stepped up your game in cutting and printing equipment, however I’m still learning to use my Cameo 4 cutter. I’m really happy with it so far because it’s much better than my CRICUT Explorer Air 2 in so many ways. It cuts up to 10 feet, I can save and KEEP my own projects, I can cut rhinestone flock templates, and I can DRAG AND DROP images with Silhouette Studio. I have the Business Edition. I wish I had known about the Silhouette and the Siser cutters when I begun my crafting journey. But it is what it is, and I’m seeing so many different options out there. When I’m able to get another cutter… and the prices go down, I do plan to get another quieter, more efficient cutter like the Romeo or the Cameo 5 Plus. I do want a wider format cutter and sublimation printer eventually, but right now, I have to wait until I can get them. So meanwhile, I’m trying to make the best of what I have. I know… too much information… but I just wanted you to know where I am in my crafting journey. I’m still learning, and I’m doing my best with what I have. Thank you for replying to my comment!

Same exact process. I had text inside my backseats window when i used to drive Uber. If you want the people in the back seat to read it the do the same exact way but mount it to the inside. If you want people on the outside to read the mounted decal then mirror the image/text before you cut it

[@sherrym6078]

What's the cutting settings that you use?

[@andreafoster5699]

Can you use the same paper to use on truck door

[@aprilmarie5085]

you actually don't even need to use the cutting mat, just load the vinyl directly into the machine and select "No Mat". Then you only have to cut out what you actually used... and it's quicker

[@adubbproductions]

I’ve done it like that once. I’d have to explore that option more before i give anyone instruction on it. Are your cut settings the same when you cut without the mat? You also need to use more vinyl don’t you? The machine needs the extra to hold onto!? Correct?

[@aprilmarie5085]

You can literally take the roll of vinyl and feed it directly into the machine and just let the rest of the roll kind of hang off the edge of the table. Under 'Page Setup" select "None" for cutting mat and the default settings for Matte Vinyl (speed 5, force 10, 1 pass) will cut it perfectly.... also, have you figured out how to cut something bigger than your mat yet? If you are doing car decals, you'll want to know how to do that! After your decal cut job is done, just unload the vinyl from the machine and scissor cut the part you need off your vinyl. If you are left with like a square or something, save that and use the mat for maybe cutting a small decal out. Just turn on the grid marks on your page setup so you can be sure your design will fall within the piece of vinyl on your cutting mat.

[@adubbproductions]

Awesome. Thank you for that. Great information. I appreciate it.

[@destinygarcia707]

April Marie thank you for the info!! Very helpful!

[@Tiiteli]

Now the fight with the big mat ? Been there, done that and now using a wall or closet door for line the vinyl up on the big mat, and yes, i all so start in side the lining up. So i tape the mat from up in the wall / door and never again have that fight when lining the vinyl. Try it for once.

[@slimsautomotiverepair8714]

if you were standing up and had a slightly bigger work area it would make a world of difference great video thanks for the info

[@adubbproductions]

Your welcome but would a bigger with area and me standing change the information or would you just like if I had a bigger work area and was standing? I’m just trying to understand your logic. I’m a little lost help me understand please.

[@slimsautomotiverepair8714]

In my observation it looks to me that you are rather tall and the space you work in is a smaller area and you have trouble maneuvering the vinyl roll to flatten it out when you had to cut away would it have been easier to lay the vinyl had you been standing up and not fighting the. Table and vinyl.

[@adubbproductions]

@@slimsautomotiverepair8714 hmm. That’s interesting. Observing things can vary so much from person to person. I don’t feel like I had any issues with space. That room was practically empty. I think you are mistaking my positions my body in a certain way so the camera can capture what I’m doing because I’m making a video with needing a bigger space. Arguably if I was in a bigger space in this video in particular you might not have been able to see what i was doing because the camera would be too far back. In any event I am still not making the connection to what the space size and me maneuvering has to do with delivering the information. You said yourself thanks for the video and that is was a great video. If you got the information you needed what does the size of the room matter? I could have gave the information out of the trunk of a car if the information was accurate and people got the point. The production could always be better but this is KZbin. People like me deliver information to people like you for free. Perhaps you should donate to help me get a bigger space so the information can make a world of difference and do a better job. I would really appreciate it. I love to have a bigger space so I can stand up and move around. Any help would be appreciated. You can send your donation to my cash app cash.app/$adubbproductions Thanks so much in advance. I hope it’s enough to get a bigger space so I can stand in the next video. Thanks again. 🙏🏾

No connection between the info in video and space in the room the info was fantastic. I even subbed to get more info. If I could donate my man I would but has to close my own shop due to hard times and could really use the subs to get my channel and info out to the people for free as well.

[@paologarcia4793]

Is transfer sheet and transfer tape the same? If so, which one do you use? Same brand as vinyl oracal?

[@adubbproductions]

Good Question. Id have to say no they are different. With this Oracal 651 the transfer tape that Im using has the color of that traditional old school scotch tape that can rip easy kinda like paper. that dark tan color. Transfer sheet is more so dealing with a specialty vinyl that you dont press on the regular way. you have to transfer it using a Transfer sheep then press the transfer sheet with the image on it to the garment. Transfer sheet is normally I think maybe in all cases transparent. do not try to heat press transfer tape. Ive never done it but I don't think it would end well. transfer sheet, you Can heat press. Hope that helps.

[@richardfitzsimmons4312]

When I am trying to apply rolled vinyl to a mat and I go with the shortest side of mat....you were fighting it pretty bad on the length side with the whole piece of vinyl rolled out...I roll it or re-roll it if you have to so that the right side is ready to place on mat...I hold the rolled section with my 4 fingers and use my right thumb to start on right corner short side of mat.....and then go to left side and use thumb to place the left vinyl corner down....middle will automatically level out...them just roll the rest of vinyl out onto the mat....without having to deal with the rest of vinyl getting stuck to mat

[@mikeledee8786]

@@adubbproductions Thanks for getting back to me. I have a cameo 3, the way I make long 2 color windshield decal 4 x 30 or such) is cut both colors, using transfer tape on the top color align, lay on the bottom and pull of the tape, the problem I am having is bubbles form between the the 2 vinyl layers.

Stella White I have to be honest. I haven’t checked yet but I am pretty positive that you can because in the Silhouette app on my cellphone there is an option to send to cutter and it says no device connected just like the computer would say when the Bluetooth isn’t connected.
