    Default vinyl masking problem

    Hello, I have some 3m vinyl graphics that I had made up just yesterday and well, the release paper on it is exceptionally sticky. The only solution I have found is cut the graphic out around the vinyl, But this is taking allot of time I don't have and second I have a couple graphics that are so detailed that that process would not be done.

    Does anyone know of a release paper or some type of tape that might work that will not leave the ano'd surface sealed from the dye.

    I hope y'all understand what I am trying to explain.
    20 gallon setup. w/ventilation.
    30/20 power supply.
    squirell mixer for agitation.
    home made heat stick for dyes and sealing.

    Default Re: vinyl masking problem

    Ok, here is what I tried.

    When the release from the vinyl stuck to the item, I quickly pulled it off.

    Then I tried to clean the release sticky off with Lacquer Thinner, then tried to dye and the part that had the release stuck too, it didn't dye.

    Soooo, I tried to bleach it, then rinsed really good , then stuck it in acid for a couple seconds, then rinsed and still wouldn't take the dye.

    Soooo, I tried one last thing, I heated up the degreaser I use ( Oakite ) and still no luck.

    So, please if you have had this happen before and found a solution, I really need to know.

    Thanks,Clint
