Oracal 638 vinyl is a PVC film vinyl that is 80 microns thick and features a polyacrylate adhesive which allows for temporary adhesion onto a variety of wall finishes and surfaces including: wall paper, painted drywall, glass, acrylic, paper, metal, glazed ceramics, card and smooth plastics. It is designed to be easily removable from most surfaces without leaving a residue.
This is perfect for cutting on most vinyl cutters and plotters including Cricut, Brother and Silhouette. The vinyl is supplied on a backing sheet and needs to be applied to the required surface with a clear self-adhesive transfer sheet.
This vinyl is easy to weed and is the same colour on both sides so it can be reversed on surfaces, allowing it to be viewed from both sides, great for glass and acrylic applications.

Oracal 638 - Removable Vinyl - Mix it Up
-
Lay the vinyl sheet backing side down on your cutter mat.
Cut your design and remove from the cutting mat.
Weed the design to remove unwanted vinyl. This should be done with a weeding tool. A light box may make it easier to see the design and allow for easier weeding.
Apply your transfer tape to the front of your design and use a scraper to make sure the design has adhered to the tape.
Ensure your application surface has been thoroughly clean and is free from dust, grease and any residue or contamination that could affect the adhesion of the vinyl.
Place the design sticky side down onto the surface and scrape well with your scraper to ensure it has good adhesion. If you lay the vinyl down in one spot first and roll it down as you scrape it will help to avoid any trapped air bubbles, making for a smooth finish.
Carefully remove your transfer tape and store for later use.
Admire your project.
