Reviewing Michaels New Store Brand Vinyl | It's $2 cheaper than Cricut & Oracal but is it any good?

[@j_holtslander]

Perfect video. Although it did *look* in the video like the Michael’s stuff was peeling off the wood in the outdoor test?

Thank you! I still have that piece of test wood - so I pulled it out to double check - the peeling wasn't actually from being outside, it was because transferring the Michael's vinyl is such an ordeal, it creased up in some spots. So those parts that look like they peeled off actually happened even before I brought it outside! I still haven't bought any more of that Michael's vinyl, it would need to be much cheaper for me to feel it's worth it!

Very nice comparison. I use all sorts of different vinyls and there certainly are pros and cons to all. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I know we'll never find the 'perfect' products, right? It's nice to know what's good and not so good about all the different ones out there. Enjoy your weekend!

I just used the Make Market vinyl and was amazed at how easily it was to weed and peel. I did use the glossy finish though maybe try that one. Great review by the way

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to pick up a glossy roll and give it a try. I appreciate the comment and suggestion!

Thanks for the review, especially the Market vinyl with the water test. I just sold a few tumblers and was worried it would not hold. I need to test before or just use Oracal Vinyl. Thank you!

After fighting with the transfer, I didn' think the Make Market vinyl would hold either. But it didn't lift at all. The adhesive seems to do it's job well, once it's transferred 😊

@HomeCulture thanks for sharing now, I can breath better! Great video!

@@mimimim I don't think anyone will soak their tumblers for a full 24 hours like I did, but if they do - nothing will happen! 😁

You should test Htv Ront vinyl and see what you think next. I love it because it has never failed me, is flexible, and very affordable. For instance, a 12ft permanent vinyl roll is $6.99 USD. It gets cheaper the more bulk. I love their htv and have a huge selection. Pretty great sticker paper that I use for my seed business as well.

You've introduced me to something new! I've never heard of this brand before. I looked it up and started some researching - thank you!

[@kathygoad]

@HomeCulture You are so welcome! Hopefully, it works for you as well.🤞 I have seen that they have been sponsoring a lot of KZbin influencers lately. Especially for their new heat press. (Which is amazing, btw.) If you like it, maybe you can reach out and get a sponsor as well! 🤷‍♀️ I mean, who doesn't like free!? Ha! Love the channel!

@@kathygoad You're awesome! Thank you! I love getting suggestions from someone who has tried something and liked it -- much better than diving into the dark! And yes, free would be pretty awesome!!! Hee hee 😁
