Default Re: Application Tape

I would suggest you stay away from masking tape. First, it's adhesive is much stronger than application tape, so you are going to have issues with the vinyl "lifting" when you try to remove the masking. Second, you are going to have to work harder putting pass after pass of 1'' or 2'' masking tape over your graphic.

Application tape is made to be used and thrown away, so it seems a waste of money sometimes, but using the proper tools for the job greatly improve your chances of doing a good job.

I wouldn't cut corners or try to reinvent the wheel.
