The trick is to flip the piece of vinyl with the transfer tape on it over.

Cannot get my vinyl to stick to the transfer tape.

Check for instructions for the vinyl you are using and make sure all of your settings are spot on. Time temperature and pressure are all extremely important factors when you are using htv heat transfer vinyl. Then carefully peel back the transfer tape at a 45 angle or more. I am using cricut black outdoor vinyl and cricut transfer tape.

Peel off the vinyl backing removing it from the transfer tape and vinyl as opposed to trying to peel the transfer tape and vinyl away from the backing. I had to be careful not to remove the carpet from the floor with the super strength adhesive on the transfer tape. Use a scraper to burnish transfer tape onto. You create a decal but when you go to pick it up with the transfer tape the vinyl refuses to release from the backing paper.

Fortunately no matter what the reasoning is for your vinyl not sticking to the transfer tape you can get around that. Time pressing or ironing for too short a time can cause htv not to stick to your shirt. Attach a small area of transfer tape to your design. If i pick at them you will notice the damage as they are so small plus i don t really want to have to pick at over 100 individual letters.

I am trying to get some very small words to stick to very smooth plastic but the surface is so slick that the letters stay on the transfer tape. Since the plastic is smooth and nonporous the vinyl should stick fairly easily. But really it should work really nicely on plastic. This can either be the center or one end of your design.

Transfer tape or stronggrip transfer tape see table above to choose the right one for your vinyl type scraper or other burnishing tool. You create a decal but only some of the letters stick onto the transfer tape while the rest are left behind on the backing paper. After i cut the vinyl with my cricut air 2 measure and cut the transfer tape to fit my vinyl i peel the backing off the transfer tape and stick it down onto my shag carpet. Pressing or ironing for too long can have.
