I couldn t believe my eyes either.
Why wont my vinyl stick to acrylic paint.
Don t forget to peel off the protective layer.
I m using oracal 631 vinyl.
I ve never tried heat transfer vinyl but to be honest i don t know why i d bother.
I use permanent vinyl.
If there is any grease dirt dust or other substances on your metal surface the paint and primer wonâ t bond properly.
It was a week or a month later and my artwork was still sticky.
Use adhesive vinyl like oracle or avery.
If your vinyl surface is clean the paint or primer will adhere to the vinyl rather than the dirt and you will have a longer lasting finish.
I first sand the wood then wipe off dust paint the base colour with acrylic paint let dry overnight put the vinyl letters on paint overtop with a different colour in acrylic as well and then peel off the vinyl.
You can also use a primer between the vinyl and the paint.
Clean the metal surface thoroughlyâ this means a bucket of hot soapy water a scourer and washing up gloves just to be safe.
Why won t 651 vinyl stick to my canvas or wood.
Same thing with wood.
It has happened to me more than once at different times of the year so it isn t the humidity or the tempe.
Most paints won t adhere to an oily greasy slick or glossy surface but these problems can be prevented by cleaning or sanding.
Last year when i was making this corn hole game i had a little issue with the vinyl sticking to the wood.
Turns out vinyl needs a solid surface to stick to.
I know exactly what you are talking about.
My problem is that the vinyl is peeling the paint off underneath.
Paint will not stick to a dirty surface.
In addition to my post on adhesive vinyl you ll also want to know these things for applying vinyl on an acrylic blank.
