Inexpensive way to transfer Vinyl

o

I was working on a vinyl project when I came across this tutorial for using GLAD Press n' Seal Multipurpose Sealing Wrap to transfer your vinyl pattern. It worked like a charm! It costs around $3.50 and it's about 23 yards long and 11 inches wide.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind BEFORE you follow the instructions below.

NOTE: The vinyl used is for indoor use. I rubbed down the wrap on top f each cut and lifted a little bit the top corner of each letter with a spatula before attempting to remove the vinyl from the mat. I agree that it is not the easiest way of transferring vinyl, specially with very intricate cuts, but it is very inexpensive and works with very simple cuts.

Apply the Glad Press n' Seal Multipurpose wrap to the front of your vinyl cut (sticky part of the wrap facing down).


Rub the Press n' Seal wrap over each of the letter with an old credit card.

Carefully remove the backing of the vinyl. The vinyl letters stick to the Press n' seal wrap.

Apply the letters to the surface. You may want to use a ruler to make a guideline so that your letters are straight.

Press the letters with your fingers or an applicator so that the adhesive vinyl stick to the surface and remove any air bubbles.

Peel the Press n' Seal wrap off the letters and you are pretty much done.
