whats the best way to apply layers?
Hi everyone,
New to Vinyl’s but jumping in feet first and just trying what i think is the best way to do things?But not always right ?
I’m getting in a fix about the best way to apply Layers?
This is the logo Ive created and supplied,
but it wasn’t easy, and i had to laugh at my mistakes too.Currently I’ve reproduced that logo 30cm x 30cm
But i have to go bigger 60cm x 60cmBut the method I’m using is going to fail me due to it being a god dam circle.
There are 4 layers right or wrong I’m comfortable with that.Don’t laugh, but….
Ive been building the layers on-top of the first layer, with the backing paper still attached.I guess your all saying "O No" now lol…
Yep i first had fun with it all lifting away from the backing paper.
O yeh the Squares and Circles in the corners were my reg marks to help me line it up.
Which wasn’t that clever as the god dam things lifted after i managed to peel off the app tape.So to cut a funny story short i did get there in the end,
but i am experiencing some off center. But not the end of the world.So with the prospect of doubling the size of this logo,
what advice or methods can you recommend to make it easier?
60 x 60 is going to be a nightmare….I have read in a different thread about leaving a weeding boarder,
which sounds good as this would make a solid square around the circle.Or should i be building these layers on the job so to speak and not from building it up on backing paper?
But i am curious if anyone has any tricks to build up on backing paper?
I am currently laying them flat, and building from there?
Would it be easier hanging it up?Summary
Tips on building Layers with circles?
Tips on Building layers on Backing paper or on the Job?And yep i did mess up one attempt by missing out a layer in the middle.
I don’t do that with this one anymore lol…any advice would be much appreciated 🙂
