    any body used the media carrier sheets used on the craft robo etc.

    i have a use for them but most are sold as A4 – A3 sizes and expensive.
    so any body know what the material is how long before it looses its stickiness.
    been spraying photo mount on to vinyl using that as the carrier but only lasts a couple of times. really need a big bit of post it type glue on to a sheet a2 size ish

    Chris, I’ve used the tacky backing film from garment vinyl in the past.

    As above, doesn`t last as long as the real thing but free.

    Also the sticky carrier for digital printed garment logos.

    I know this way might be a little more long winded but when i had to cut some .002" gasket paper to make some bespoke engine gaskets (1000 off) I used .75mm polycarbonate or PETG sheet cut to the size of carrier sheet I required (my sheet was 450mm wide x 500mm long.
    Sprayed some spray mount on this sheet and then applied a medium tack application tape to this sheet (reverse side so it leaves the tack of the paper on top).
    I found the tack of paper more longer lasting that just spraying the spray mount directly on to the poly sheet.

    ah the flex backing could be the one,
    tried the heat proof transfer but to strong as the card pulled to bits as removed.
    working out production ideas cutting 400 gsm card.
    thanks so far.
