Title: Best Masking Film for Vinyl Cutters
Post by: frank williams on February 09, 2022, 03:58:00 PM

I'm looking for the best masking film to use in my cutter.  The stuff I've tried is Oramask 830s.  Its a grey vinyl.  It curls up when lacquer based paints hits it. 

What should I buy that is compatible with our typical paints and is the right tack and thickness?

I've had good luck with Avery 3090 White removable vinyl paint mask.

Oramask 813 worked very well for me. And don't forget good ol' MacTac either, Its called MACmask, really good for curved surfaces.
