Awesome. As a newbie, all the terminology and various types of vinyl leaves my head spinning. Thanks Jessica for explaining it all. I gotta check your guys out for my vinyl purchases!
Thank you very much! This helped me. One question. Can you apply a layer of “heat transfer vinyl” on top of “permanent vinyl”? In other words, Can the permanent vinyl be heated without melting?
Thank you for explaining all of this!! I am a newbie with Cricut and vinyl so this is really helpful! Are you able to use HTV on acrylic? or would you recommend permanent vinyl?
Hi I need to put logos on hi-vis vests (like police wear) so it’s not cotton material. What should I use ? I need to do a print and cut logo as it has so many colours on. Thanks
Hi Shelley, if the material can take a high heat without it melting or ruining it then it is ok to use heat transfer vinyl on it. Otherwise you would want to be extremely careful on what you use.
If you have painted the canvas (with acrylic paint) prior to application, is it still OK to use heat transfer vinyl? Does the paint affect the heat source? (iron or press)
Hi, if you have painted it you can still use the Heat Transfer Vinyl. With a surface like that though you would just want to use a piece of multi use paper to protect the heat press or iron surface. expressionsvinyl.com/multi-use-paper-12x20-sheet/
Hi! Great video. Very helpful. I would like to make mustaches stickers to put on disposable face masks for a photo shoot. Can I use either permanent or removable vinyl instead of HTV? Any suggestions on how to best apply it? I just want the kids to put them on (themselves) like a regular sticker.
I need to put a vinyl logo on a Gore -Tex (synthetic waterproof fabric) jacket. I don't think it will take the heat for iron on vinyl.Will the permanent vinyl work on this and stay on?
You can't apply with a heat gun because in order for the HTV to adhere you need both heat and pressure. Here's a chart of all our vinyls and what they need to be pressed at expressionsvinyl.com/machine-settings/
Hi Cindy, Heat Transfer Vinyl will still adhere to shirts with ribbing but that may impact the image and not give you a smooth look. For best results it good to use a smoother surface. Hopefully that helps. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
A friend of mine had success with adhesive/651, but had to work hard to get it to stick. I think she used a tennis ball or a squeegee (or both), possibly also some heat (hair dryer or heat gun).
If you are using heat transfer vinyl you need to heat it up to at least 280 degrees. If the bag can withstand the heat without ruining it you could try it. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to use heat on it. The adhesive would work better for a project like this.
It may not stick very long. You may be able to apply a heat transfer vinyl. You will want to do a test piece, however, to see if the bag can withstand the heat.
I'm not too sure on this one; we have yet to test this. I think it would really depend on what you're putting into that pocket. If you end up testing it let us know how it goes :)
Yes, you can! Just apply it as you would on a tshirt, etc. You can use a heat press or an iron. Since it isn't going to be washed, you only need to apply it at 280 degrees. Here are a couple other videos we did that will help explain it. This one we put HTV on wood banner pieces - th-cam.com/video/icslsHdBi1U/w-d-xo.html This one is using EasyWeed on a lot of different surfaces - th-cam.com/video/icslsHdBi1U/w-d-xo.html

could you use heat vinyl on the back of a wire wreath?
If there is enough surface area for the vinyl to adhere to, and the wreath can withstand enough heat and pressure to adhere, it may be possible.

I am putting vinyl on a glass serving tray and having to make it to seal the paint anyways. Would I use regular or heat transfer? Thank you
We would suggest using an adhesive vinyl for this project.
Im glad to say i've applied to become an affiliate. I hope i get approved.
Yeah, Exciting!
I’m looking to make the little tooth fairy bags. The bags are mesh. Which type of vinyl would work best?
You would be able to use the Easyweed for this project. You will want to add a cover sheet so that the heat protects the mesh.
I need to put a vinyl logo on a Gore -Tex (synthetic waterproof fabric) jacket. I don't think it will take the heat for iron on vinyl.Will the permanent vinyl work on this and stay on?
The Adhesive vinyl is not recommended for this application.
How about putting heat transfer paper on a makeup palette
as long as the makeup palette can withstand the heat, time, and temperature required to apply they vinyl!
What could I use on the plastic key rings?
Permanent adhesive vinyl!
Hi - can you make a video on how you made the tree? Thank you!

Thank u.
Can you use a heat gun to apply heat transfer vinyl onto a rubber Surface and how hot does the heat need to be
You can't apply with a heat gun because in order for the HTV to adhere you need both heat and pressure. Here's a chart of all our vinyls and what they need to be pressed at expressionsvinyl.com/machine-settings/
Is Comeo 4 plotter machine best option for these both vinyl cutting?
The vinyl is compatible with most die-cutting machines: Cricut, Silhouette, Brother, and more!
Can i i use Oracal 651 for outside canopy of storefront need some big lettering
It depends what it is made of. You can test an area to see if it will stick and how well it will stick.
Hi Jessica, does heat transfer vinyl adhere well to shirts thst have ribbing? Or is it best to just use shirts that are smooth with no texture?
Hi Cindy, Heat Transfer Vinyl will still adhere to shirts with ribbing but that may impact the image and not give you a smooth look. For best results it good to use a smoother surface. Hopefully that helps. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
@@Expressionsvinyls it sure does, Thank you!!
I love to travel and I want to decorate my suitcase. It’s a hard surface and not smooth outer shell. Which vinyl could I use?
We would recommend a permanent adhesive, Depending on the texture, it may be hard to get vinyl to adhere to it.
A friend of mine had success with adhesive/651, but had to work hard to get it to stick. I think she used a tennis ball or a squeegee (or both), possibly also some heat (hair dryer or heat gun).
Hi, what vinyl would I use on PVC Cosmetic Bags?
If you are using heat transfer vinyl you need to heat it up to at least 280 degrees. If the bag can withstand the heat without ruining it you could try it. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to use heat on it. The adhesive would work better for a project like this.
hey is it possible to use adhesive vinyl to a polyester bag? polyester 230t
It may not stick very long. You may be able to apply a heat transfer vinyl. You will want to do a test piece, however, to see if the bag can withstand the heat.
What about plastic like a compact mirror?
Permanent Adhesive is an excellent option for plastic!
Can you use htv on paper materials, notebooks, folders, etc?
It depends on the material. If it can survive the heat for a few seconds you should be good to try it.
@@Expressionsvinyls Thank you!
I have a vinyl bag can I use heat vinyl on that
It may not be able to withstand the required temperatures to apply vinyl to the bag. Check product labels before applying vinyl.
can i use adhesive for glass candles?
Yes you can!
Do you think the adhesive is strong enough to be a pocket? I want to apply it to upholstery vinyl fabric and make a pocket with the adhesive vinyl
I'm not too sure on this one; we have yet to test this. I think it would really depend on what you're putting into that pocket. If you end up testing it let us know how it goes :)
How about silicone surface? 🤔☺️
Hi, silicone is designed so that nothing will stick to it.
❤️ where can I find the watermelon svg?

Can you apply it to Rubber ???????
I would be afraid that it might melt the rubber. You can test with an iron in an inconspicuous area to see if it can withstand the heat
