The press and seal is a game changer for my paper crafts!! Having my paper lift from the transfer tape can be so frustrating, Thank you so much for making this video :) This was very helpful!
🙂🙂

Thank you. I was in a bind. Lint roller is my only option.

I gave up trying to transfer my pantry labels until i could afford a more expensive transfer paper.
The press & seal in my pantry just did the job beautifully.
I can't thank you enough.
🙌 🙌 🙌

I would have never thought to use any of these except the contact paper! Great info!

[leannezimmerman]

Thanks. Just ordered the transfer tape for my first project, which I'll be trying out next week! 😊

Thank you! I was struggling with applying decal vinyl to glossy sticker paper! This is helpful! I think I will try press and seal, I have that on hand!

The painter’s tape worked perfectly for my glitter vinyl! I didn’t have to go out and buy super strength transfer tape! Thanks ❤

Painter's tape worked great. Thanks for the tip.

Way back when I started with contact paper and I love it still even over my transfer tape. Use a pin pen to lift the backing. I use transfer tape when I'm in a pinch lol

I tried stencil tape - sort of a little less sticky than masking tape - and it works well too!

Hello...I have a serious allergy to adhesives that just started about a year ago. I did my very first vinyl transfer last week, and that night I broke out into serious hives. Was just wondering if you know if there was a hypoallergenic transfer tape out there? I keep jumping from one craft thing to another and fell in love with the one and only vinyl piece did. These alternatives are awesome!

The press and seal left little sticky spots on the holographic vinyl we were using today. It was difficult to remove without compromising the quality of the vinyl.

Does anyone know what the best transfer tape to use when using HTV in a cardboard box? I don't want the tranfer tape to rip the box. Please and thank you!

[judyblaise]

I’ve used press’nseal and is ok but not my favorite. I’ve used Walmart contact paper and it is ok . I’ve used tape too and old vinyl carrier sheet too. Thank you for video

Please help me! I am just getting started with sublimation. I have an old Cameo and I am thinking of purchasing a cameo 4
The support from cameo has not been very help.
Will I be able to get the business edition with the cameo 4 without more money?

[elaineday]

Where do i get the stencils to transfer

[pattondanielle]

Contact paper name brand has never worked for me, not sure how you get it to work!

Guess you can use anything if you are working with a permanent type of vinyl. Try working with a low tack vinyl for paint masks.
