Why Wont My Vinyl Stick To Acrylic Paint

I couldn t believe my eyes either.

Why wont my vinyl stick to acrylic paint.

Be sure your vinyl is clean before applying paint by washing it with soap and water and rinsing well. Last year when i was making this corn hole game i had a little issue with the vinyl sticking to the wood. I ve never tried heat transfer vinyl but to be honest i don t know why i d bother. If there is any grease dirt dust or other substances on your metal surface the paint and primer wonâ t bond properly.

I first sand the wood then wipe off dust paint the base colour with acrylic paint let dry overnight put the vinyl letters on paint overtop with a different colour in acrylic as well and then peel off the vinyl. You can also use a primer between the vinyl and the paint. It has happened to me more than once at different times of the year so it isn t the humidity or the tempe. Why won t 651 vinyl stick to my canvas or wood.

It was a week or a month later and my artwork was still sticky. Clean the metal surface thoroughlyâ this means a bucket of hot soapy water a scourer and washing up gloves just to be safe. I know exactly what you are talking about. Unless you plan on using a peel stopping primer.

Use adhesive vinyl like oracle or avery. In addition to my post on adhesive vinyl you ll also want to know these things for applying vinyl on an acrylic blank. I m using oracal 631 vinyl. I use permanent vinyl.

My problem is that the vinyl is peeling the paint off underneath. Paint will not stick to a dirty surface. If your vinyl surface is clean the paint or primer will adhere to the vinyl rather than the dirt and you will have a longer lasting finish. Don t forget to peel off the protective layer.

Most paints won t adhere to an oily greasy slick or glossy surface but these problems can be prevented by cleaning or sanding.
