I've just recently been in tears from transfer tape, trying to make ornament with small print is hell. Tried my 3rd kind and still so frustrated I just want to quit - one last try with your solution-wish me luck. I don't want to cry anymore at Christmas time.

Lifesaver. Works brilliantly. I used my Jamberry mini heater for nail stickers . I use the permanent vinyl on my cards and use the transfer tape to get it in the right place. Battled with getting the smart vinyl onto the transfer tape. The iron on stuff wasn't an issue but the smart vinyl had me tearing out my hair. Used the heat trick and it went on first go effortlessly. So relieved!!!

Excellent video...thanks for helping us out! Question for you....once I use the blow dyer, and then use the scraper tool, does the decal have to be applied right away? I was wondering if I did this and mailed them to my customers, that it would still come off the transfer tape just as easy for them once they get it.

@nigelcoxon 9 ай бұрын

Old Post but... There are low, medium and high tack versions of transfer tape. Rule of thumb, the stiffer/thicker the vinyl, the higher tack you need. You can "de-tack" higher tack tape by applying it a few times to a cotton fabric (rolling it on my jeans works well on small pieces, or bed linen for larger). In theory you could use a spray mount adhesive to increase tack, but in practice hand spraying I find to be too hit and miss to give good results.

This really makes me concerned having just bought a Joy. I’m new to Cricut products but so many people are having issues with their products but nothing is done about it or people just keep buying them dispute the issues. When we buy something isn’t it supposed to just work without people having to create hundreds of hacks to make the cutting process easier than it actually is out of the box???Seems weird that it doesn’t just WORK as it’s expected to since it’s not cheap!

Tried this top didn’t work, all it did was melt my transfer tape and my letters still didn’t come off. This is the last straw for Cricut for me I have the Joy and the Maker and I can tell you every project I have made I had to take the letters off one at a time by hand and place them myself. Over a hundred do,Lars in different transfer tape and even the Cricut brand and nothing works. I’m am so done with both machines will be selling them to who ever wants these.
