Vinyl Masking Problem

[PBInferno]

I had a local sign company cut me some vinyl logos for masking parts, but every time I try to stick the vinyl to the part after dying it, the backing leaves a residue on the part. This residue keeps the underlying dye from bleaching out, which leaves a large area of the wrong color around the logo.

Any advice on how to keep this from happening?

Thanks

you cant use transfertape with the stickers.

You should try the clear backing...it's less sticky...
additionally rub over the backings glued side to minimize the stickiness....after that it could be "hard" work to get the vinyl off the silicone-paper.....but who cares, if it works
That works perfectly for me....but I'm doing single-pieces, mostly....

If you could cut deep enough to cut the backing on the sticker that the vinyl comes on.... you could stick transfer tape on the sticker, and spray the sticker/transfer tape with some kind of spray adhesive....then pull the wax paper off to use it....not sure how well it would work but it would definately be worth a try. Mainly just mask the sticky stuff on the transfer tape
