Description
QuickMask™ transfer tape comes in six types, so you can match the tack to the material. Too little tack and the design stays on the carrier; too much and it pulls the vinyl off the shirt. Pick the tape made for your film and every transfer lifts cleanly.

How to use it
- Weed your design, leaving only what you want to transfer.
- Lay the tape down from one edge, squeegeeing as you go so no air is trapped.
- Burnish firmly across the whole design.
- Lift the tape at a sharp angle, close to 180°, pulling it back on itself.
- Position on the garment and press using the vinyl's settings. Remove the tape at the peel temperature the vinyl calls for.
Tips
- Glitter and reflective films need their own tape – standard tape under-grips them.
- Test on a scrap when working with a new film.
- In a cold shop, warm the tape slightly – tack drops at low temperatures.
- Reusable for several pulls until it stops picking up cleanly.
- Store flat, out of direct sun and away from heat.
