Default PS Poly-Twill not lifting from backing with transfer tape

What type of transfer tape will lift the Poly-Twill from it's backing? I've got a few rolls of Poly-Twill and would like to make some shirts like pimpashirt.com did with Poly-Twill and Vinyl Edging to hold it in place. I have some transfer tape called Magic Mask, but it will not pull the Poly-Twill from its backing. Seems that the Magic Mask is not sticky enough. Any recommendations?

The magic mask you have may work if you squeegee it in place and work the backing away from the twill by pulling it back at a sharp angle to the twill. I have never gotten it to pull off easily but I think that is a trade off for having consistent cutting.

Try the stretchprint mask, use a squeegee, then flip the masked design over and pull away the twill backing and let gravity help you Will definitely work.

Thanks Josh! Just ordered some Stretchprint to give it a try.


BTW, after completing my order it said I would receive an email confirmation. There was no place to enter my email during the order process.....
