The best Adhesive Sheets: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Pro-tip! Buy sheets of magnets (I got these on Amazon), stick your stickers on them, cut them out, and then keep them forever!

I have lots of metal things I use for decor like lockers and metal panels I got at IKEA and they’re just covered in “stickers.”

My wife and her friend swear by this particular product. However, double check that it would work with the Joy since both my wife and her friend have an Explore

going DIY is the way to go. I've heard this from the pros as well. There just isn't the selection of dance specific shoes. The pair I bought most recently was from ALDO There called Aauwen-R Dark Grey, then I just went on amazon and got some stick on suede. The only problem I have found so far with this was that I stuck them on and it immediately slid like a 1/4 inch. Which isn't much but that's 1/4 without suede on the outside edge. I think I just should have walked around to let them dry. I immediately went down to dance at a dance event. So probably user error.

I second the Siser HTV and Oracal 651.

I copied the link below, but I found transfer tape on Amazon that works really well for me. I've been working off of the roll for almost 2 years now and it's still going to last for a long time. This stuff does have a grid. Sometimes it helps me, sometimes it gets in my way. It works really well for regular vinyl. It does not work well for glitter, textured or shimmer vinyl. I use the strong grip Cricut brand transfer tape for that.

It’s good to see a fellow hodler here. My wife bought this transfer “tape” and it works great:

Clear Vinyl Tape

I’m indecisive and was worried about replacing any object I put stickers on in the future, so I bought magnetic sheets, stuck the stickers to them, and cut them out. Now they can go on any metal surface in my shop and I can move them as needed.

These are the sheets I used: Craftopia Magnetic Adhesive Sheets | 8" x 10" | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071L97W57/

They have one sticky side so you can even leave the backing on the sticker so you can peel it and stick it in the future if you decide to put it somewhere permanently.

Man up and deal with it!!!!!

Ok, maybe not.

If it's the Holster that's the actual problem....

I have the g-code holsters which have "tactical fuzz" on them. But I've heard people have had good results with self adhesive stick on patches. Not sure it was this, but something like this.

If it's the gun....areas not covered by the holster...

Undershirt, shave, or just deal with it.

Bought this in September. I like it and there's so much on the roll I probably won't need to repurchase until next year.

just as an FYI, if you buy vinyl at a physical store, like Michaels or Hobby Lobby or whatever, it is CRAZY expensive. You should check out Oracal 651 12x12 vinyl sheets on amazon. It is maybe 25% of the cost compared to what you pay in a physical store.

I've been through a few of these and they work great: 63 pack for $29

also, the silhouette contact paper sucks pretty bad if you do any dyeing with heat. you end up with more of the adhesive on the disc than you do remaining on the contact sheet :(

You can buy thin sheets of magnet and cut it to whatever size or shape you want. Now as far as affixing the photos I would try a few things and see what works best.

Edit: found an Amazon link if you like that sort of thing. I get bored at work some one should benefit.

Fully covering it may result in some issues, but you can probably cover half of it -- I'd suggest getting a sheet (or two? how massive is it?) of magnet material (like this from Amazon) so it won't move around much, or shed dust into the vent like a rug might.

They do make redirecting covers (so the air blows sideways instead of straight up) for smaller vents, but they're a few inches tall and cheap plastic, so you couldn't walk on them, and I doubt they make them big enough for a vent that could be described as massive.

If you use it for your own crafts most of the above suggestions are ok. But if you sell your stickers then I wouldn’t use something from the dollar store. This is what I use. Seems to be the best in my year experience. It’s off Amazon. transfer tape

Happy crafting.

I just used these ones because they were the best deal when I bough them. I am in the US for reference. I know they make them in A4 as well but given how easy they are to cut to size I was not worried too much about what size I bought. I would think they are all pretty much the same across brands.

I'm going to try vinyl stencil transfer paper (or even low-stick vinyl). They make it for Cricut and Silhouette Cameo 4.

There's a variety of stencil paper you can try, with varying levels of adhesion. I ordered a sample pack of about 5 to test out. I'll make a post if something works.

Depending on your technique and tools, a lot of artists get away with just plain paper. They work small enough that overspray isn't an issue for them. The paper is just taped to the canvas, or sometimes held on with magnets.

Also something I've looked into was auto masking fluid. You buy it by the gallon and spray a coat on. I think that would be too thin or would destroy the canvas/paper surface, but it's still something I want to try experimenting with.

Looking for replacement MoFi Pads and Okki Nokki strips but finding them in Canada right now is near impossible.

Could I make my own out of something like this?

Just wondering if MoFi uses a certain velvet or what

Real talk, get away from the auto-blade as soon as you can. It was the culprit of so many problems the first year. I use a premium cut and deep cut blade (2 different kinds silhouette offers) I have pierced literally the surface of the vinyl backer causing a thin layer (the top glossy surface) to come up with the vinyl When this occurs I put the face side down and drag back a corner. Using my hook and spatula I lightly tug on the edges of the that aren't adhering to the transfer tape Occasionally I have to leave that thin white film on till after I get the backer completely off than I take my hook softly pierce the white on the back of the vinyl and peel up.

This is the high tac transfer I use, idk if it's actually considered high tac but it's million times better than oracal. I strictly use oracal vinyl because of experiences with sisser and generic pattern vinyl

I dont have a YouTube channel, but since you're intrested, this is what i use to turn stickers and keychains into magnets,

Craftopia Magnetic Adhesive Sheets | 8" x 10" | Pack of 10 | Magnets for Crafts! - Flexible Peel and Stick Self Adhesive for Crafts Photos Stamp Dies and More (8"x10" 10 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071L97W57/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_T17TTABYP9THGGD57S1E

The weeding pen is much more finely pointed, just like a pin. I actually pricked my finger today and bled, so super sharp! For me it took some getting used to, but well worth it. Today I weeded a huge elephant vinyl mandela (posted pic, so it's in my profile) and where there is teeny tiny pieces to weed a pin is better than the dental hook. It really cuts down on inadvertently lifting the wrong parts.

If she doesn't have deep cut blades, she should. Any vinyl thicker than regular vinyl cuts so much better with a deep cut blade. They're so cheap that you have nothing to lose by getting them. Deep blades are better for thick paper and harder materials.

My goto transfer tape is this and is fantastic! But it sucks with holographic and GID vinyl. If your wife isn't using those vinyls yet, then she's fine, just keep it in mind.

The brayer is a roller and is different than the scraper. Of course she can get by without a brayer, but damn it's nice to have! Ruin one sheet of expensive vinyl because of bubbles and you'll realize how awesome using the right tool for the job can be.

I have slowly bought myself all these things and more because it's just more enjoyable.

Oh! I just bought this and I can't express what a total game changer it is! It magnifies and lights your work area, so you can still weed even in crappy lighting.

The current Nova 3 case has a super slippery plastic back. I tried to find alternate cases but none fit well enough for my liking. So, decided to fix it by adding a suede-like material to the back to provide enough friction so the Nova doesn't slide off any surface. I used this suede that has adhesive backing: Suede sheet

I applied it to the plastic and then cut it to size. Not perfect but so much better. The only other thing I could think of that could work would be plasti-dip, but wanted to try this easier fix first.

This one worked well for me in the past.

I use these: Marietta Magnetics - 10 Magnetic Sheets of 8.5" x 11" Adhesive (30 mil) Create your own Magnet! Flexible Peel & Stick Self Adhesive for Photos Crafts Stamp Dies Signs & More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IRQZ2L0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_TY3H1B5NFEDK3KSYX66P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

They are thicker than some of the other ones on Amazon, and work very well. I can hold my box upside down and shake, and the models do not come off. The key is to have no gap between the magnet on the base and the sheet, so measure and see what works. I use 4x2mm magnets and those seem to work well for most bases, but bigger models will require more magnets.

Omg yes! People are probably going to start thinking I work for this company, but I don't lol I just love this transfer tape!

I ordered this one which is way to big, I could cut another 6 or 8 sets, but maybe I’ll figure out another use. Yes. Cut to size after sticking them to the sheet, normal poultry shears cut it easily

I make these cups often and stopped using the Duck Brand. I get my transfer tape from Amazon and it works wonders. I wipe my cups down with rubbing alcohol, apply my design and after everything is done I use heat gun for a 2-3 seconds, just enough to get it tacky. Where did you buy your Oracal? I’ve found some Amazon shops differ on quality.

This one works good. Just the right amount of stick for us.

Not as sticky as Cricut but more than Contact paper.

the vinyl transfer tape stuff you see in my gallery actually sucks and I don't recommend it at all. I use this stuff now and it is fantastic: http://shop.vendio.com/cncsigns/item/911402157/index.html

As for the vinyl itself, I use Oracal 651 vinyl that I get off amazon. they sell a 63 pack of 12x12 sheets for around $30 here: https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-651-Starter-Adhesive-Assortment/dp/B01NADR97B/

It takes a bit of trial and error and lots of practice. Keep going!
