Question Heated wedding table

[Craig Keller]

Warming up vinyl is that make it easier to weed?

Based on your title, I thought you wanted to keep the food warm at the reception.

I know HTV is easier to weed on a heated table. Never tried regular vinyl on one.

Thanks

They would be selling that for weeding HTV, not vinyl. Vinyl weeds easily if you have the cutter set correctly and are using decent vinyl. I use my heat press to weed the HTV except for small letters, I weed them cold because the small lettering comes off. To have a table for HTV weeding would be overboard for me as I do some HTV but most of it has transitioned to transfers.

If you're doing really small text I've found 3M Electrocut on the poly backer weeds great.
Like Stacy K said though you need to have your plotter set properly.

Handy tip when doing small text. Make a few extra lines and do the "rip off the band-aid" technique.
Get your weeding started so you have enough to pull back over itself.(180 degrees)
Hold down vinyl, take a deep breath and pull as fast as humanly possible while keeping a low angle on the material.

Laugh now, but once you try it you'll be sayin' Dang, that actually works.

For very small letters I round the sharp corners slightly.
