Re: Cricut cutting help (cutting vinyl)

This may or may not help... Clean the bottom of the blade carrier with Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol..sometimes it becomes sticky or dirty..found this out with doing a lot of vinyl cutting. Also sometimes it happens when you cut vinyl, paper and it's a smaller piece and leave the sticky of the mat exp...

Free 1/2 bottle of Armor Etch... Item no longer available

Hey all I have about 1/2 bottle of Armor Etch that I'm not going to use. If you are interested send me a PM with your address and it's yours. I'll ship it out to you with a few acid brushes.

Re: Etching? How do i do it?

Not sure what is in the kit but the larger bottle of cream is probably the way to go. You can buy acid brushes at any Harbor Freight or Hardware store. That is really all you need...

Re: Etching? How do i do it?

@mitsim--I use the contact paper as a replacement for the vinyl. I get either the white or the wood color one at the Dollar Tree (I found that these ones are a bit thicker than certain brands but thinner and cheaper than vinyl). I've cut it with my Expression and my Cameo. The settings can be a bit ...

I checked several websites and everyone was either out of stock o...

Re: oversized project

It's a bit of an illusion but it worked and the customer was very happy with it. Now that I have a Cameo I can do the long lengths without having to do hash marks.

SCAL gaining more power every few weeks...

It's just an observation but it seems like SCAL is really gaining a market hold on the cutting craft market. Seems like every cutter is supported by this piece of software. Now if I could only get my local craft stores to stock the different cutters that would be great. I would really like to go int...
