It was a week or a month later and my artwork was still sticky.
Why wont my vinyl stick to acrylic paint.
A canvas isn t smooth it has a weird texture.
In addition to my post on adhesive vinyl you ll also want to know these things for applying vinyl on an acrylic blank.
I use permanent vinyl.
Turns out vinyl needs a solid surface to stick to.
I m using oracal 631 vinyl.
Unless you plan on using a peel stopping primer.
Last year when i was making this corn hole game i had a little issue with the vinyl sticking to the wood.
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.
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.
Paint will not stick to a dirty surface.
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.
If there is any grease dirt dust or other substances on your metal surface the paint and primer wonâ t bond properly.
Same thing with wood.
I ve never tried heat transfer vinyl but to be honest i don t know why i d bother.
My problem is that the vinyl is peeling the paint off underneath.
It has happened to me more than once at different times of the year so it isn t the humidity or the tempe.
I know exactly what you are talking about.
Use adhesive vinyl like oracle or avery.
Be sure your vinyl is clean before applying paint by washing it with soap and water and rinsing well.
Why won t 651 vinyl stick to my canvas or wood.
