    Whats the best way to cut the magnetic vinyl?

    Posted by JonnyAnnett on 16 May 2008 at 15:17

    Hi Guys,

    First time working with Magnetic’s next week. Got the material today. Just got to prepare the logos etc. before applying.

    Quick question. Whats the best way to cut the magnetic vinyl? Is it just a matter of marking it and cutting with a sharp scalpel?

    Thanks
    Jonny

    I just use a sharp stanley knife to lightly score it and then go over it once again. You don`t have to press on too hard and if you haven`t cut right through just bend it and it will tear nice and cleanly.

    Like anything practice makes perfect

    Cheers

    And watch those fingers! Magnetic is one of those materials that can cause the blade to wander, so go slow.
