tile

s your vinyl which I've precut and weeded this is the Oracle 651 in black and this is the Oracle 651 in beige now. I have two pieces, so my cutter decided to cut a little too deep, so I have to fix it, so I'm going to show you how to fix it, your transfer tape, your simple Whedon wooden toothpick, and your squeegee now, if you want. give me a moment to change the camera angle, I'll show you everything we're going to do today, okay, so the first thing we're going to do is because my cricket took and cut the vinyl a little too deep on that side.

Am I going to hold it up to the light so I can see through it so I can pick up and put in my Y? Well, that's what will happen first. I'm going to take regular duct tape and tape it in place. That way when I mask it, we can take it and have it aligned and centered, okay, cut off some of the excess paper. Nano, let's take our transfer tape. Okay, that wrinkle on that side doesn't make me happy, but we can fix it, here we go. take our squeegee and run it down as you can see the transfer tape doesn't cover everything which is okay we're just going to take another piece of transfer tape and put it on top because that was another P that was one piece reused, a transfer tape, so I don't like to waste it, okay, now we're going to cover the top path, here we go, now what are we going to take and if you hand me that metal ruler, okay?

What we want to do is make sure it's centered, so we'll take our ruler and see what I'm measuring: the flat line of the ruler against the flat line or the letter and then measuring from there, so we'll do the same thing on this side, so it's a lot further out there, so it should be about an inch and a half, so let's see how that lines up. Now we're going to check here again and that one is a little bit closer to two inches, so we want to adjust it just a hair more, which is right at an inch and a half and which is right at an inch and a half now at the bottom which is about a half inch on that side. right in about half an inch on that side and an inch on the top, so now what we want to do is lift it up and pull it to the top without trying to alter the side to side, so we're going to double check our side to side to side inch and a half inch and a half that's about three quarters of an inch that's now that's about 3/4 of an inch about 3/4 in about 3/4 so that's where I want it and what What I'm going to do is go ahead and run a putty knife over my vinyl real good and I'm going to use this excess tape on this side so that way I have a way to place my letters, okay? holding it tight and just with a squeegee on my way down, don't worry about why, now what we're going to do is remove the treants, the peeling paper, that movement, that piece of tape and a Squeegee, that damn help with us. make it a little bit stronger here we go okay now that's there now we're going to use that same piece of transfer tape and this is the part that goes in the center so we're going to take it and we're going to cover it with the transfer tape where it's completely covered, okay, now we're going to take our ruler again and we're going to measure about half an inch, so about an inch, so L wants to give me all kinds of trouble and This makes it easier when you have the tape smaller transfer rate.

It's just for this. I really didn't want to have to change it. Well, that's about three-quarters of an inch. It's about an inch. Leave it like this. Just a hair. A little less. of an inch a little less than an inch now we're going to take and measure from the bottom of the letter to the bottom of this, which is about two and a quarter inches and that's the largest letter and then we're going to do the same thing here and that should go down a little bit, okay, a little bit about two and a quarter about two and a quarter about two and a quarter and about two and a quarter at the top of the letter because I know my The bottom letters are pretty straight and I want the ones on the black layer are in the center of the base layer, so now we're going to turn them up so they sit nice, not the other way around, we're doing it up and down instead of left to right and now we're just going to take and slowly remove our Trance, our role backing away from this, there we go, it's fixing how that was in front of us, squeegee down now we're going to go from the center and exit now.

I know it's hard to see on camera, but you can see it through this transfer tape. That's how I know where I am and I'm doing it this way because I wanted everyone to see it. a more precise way of how we actually do it for signals instead of doing it quickly to make it more precise, we're going to set it up there to save it for other projects. Now I think I'm fine, focused and direct. how good it looks, let me fix that little part on that LLL, there's just one little part that's driving me crazy because it's not perfectly flat, now it's there, come on, so you'll see how good it looks and anyway, now remember if you liked this. video, don't forget to give it a big thumbs up, don't forget to hit the subscribe button right below, don't forget to hit the notification bell icon next to it that notifies you when we post new videos, which, to be rude, is each one day of the month or from October 1 to December 21, so that's seven days a week, other than that, visit me on all my social networks, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram, as well as on my second channel , which is just Betsy Goucher. which is where I do everything makeup related at Disney, so see you next time, bye.
