Hopefully i can help you figure out which vinyl vinyl to use for whatever project you have in mind.
What do you use to pull vinyl.
Where you encounter resistance from the glue use a scraper tool or even a kitchen spatula to get the strip loose.
If you remove vinyl flooring but the glue remains.
Having removed the inside cavities of the letters the next thing is to remove your main piece of excess vinyl.
Instead use a pull bar and hammer that instead.
This process will be a little bit different for every cutting machine but just make sure to choose the settings for the particular type of heat transfer vinyl you are using flocked htv will have very different settings from smooth htv for instance.
For complicated designs with extra fine detail that you missed in your original weeding now is the time to go back and very gently cut away the waste vinyl.
After 72 hours try to pull up the vinyl.
In some cases vinyl can be glued directly to old vinyl ceramic tile and wood floors but special fillers and glue down procedures are needed.
Make sure the plywood you use is underlayment grade.
Click lock vinyls can be walked on immediately however glue down planks should be given time to securely set.
Many people use mod podge for this step.
However there is a right and wrong way to do this as well.
Now simply grab the corner of the application tape carefully pull it away and your vinyl design is complete.
This can harm the vinyl.
Let s start off by talking a bit about what the different types of vinyl are.
When vacuuming do not use a vacuum with a beater bar or power rotary brush head as these may damage the vinyl.
Pull up each one gently.
That is not a good way to get crisp lines when stenciling with vinyl.
If it comes up easily there s too much moisture in the concrete to install a sheet vinyl floor.

Understanding how to clean vinyl flooring starts with knowing dry cleaning comes before wet.
We are covering the basics of using transfer tape on vinyl.
Do you know how to use transfer tape for your craft projects.
If you pull up the excess vinyl first and then try to get the inside cavities your hand will stick to the carrier sheet.
This will accomplish the same task without harming the floor.
Finally adjust your cut settings to work with the material you are using.
I generally do not recommend this because mod podge often will pull up paint with it when you remove the stencil so it s like the opposite of the bleeds.
If you re planning to do any wet cleaning vacuum and dust the vinyl tile flooring or vinyl plank flooring to remove any debris.
Don t walk on your vinyl flooring after installation for at least 48 hours.
