TECKWRAP Glossy Holographic Silver Chrome Vinyl 12" x 10ft

I had a bedside table that I painted over years ago and it was looking a bit worse for wear. Combine that with a house move and it definitely needed a revamp.I wanted something quite dark and this teal/turquoise was exactly what I was after. The pic is accurate to the colour in real lifeIt was easy to use and a nice thick vinyl that was easy to apply. It didn't have guidelines on the back, but other than that it was very simple to use!The adhesive was perfect, I just ran a heat gun over any edges and corners to seal it down properly. I wish it was a little longer on the roll though as I had to jigsaw some parts together. Overall, really pleased with how my little project turned out!

Like others have mentioned it’s definitely thicker than ordinary vinyl however when you adjust your level blade settings it’s fine you just need to do a test cut. The backing has a texture that doesn’t allow it to stick to your cutting mat (I use medium tac) which is extremely annoying, even after taping it down it still pops up. I’ve had to hold it down the whole cutting process. Unlike others I didn’t find the weeding too bad. I got this as an emergency as I ran out of my original vinyl and prime had it delivered the next day. If you’re looking for an emergency vinyl I guess this does the job but I wouldn’t purchase if you have time to buy else where. This will be going in the bin when my other vinyl arrives.

I do love the matte texture of this vinyl, it still has a subtle sheen to it; setting it apart from other brands on the market. It's a bit thicker than the glossy/metallic versions so be sure to set your machine appropriately. I find using the "Premium Vinyl" setting with the pressure set at 250 works a treat. The amount you get for the price is great value for money too. My only gripe is when using transfer tape, it doesn't seem to stick! I've tried three different brands of transfer tape and none of them seem to work easily. It takes a lot of patience and adjusting. I've resorted to taking the piece off the cutting mat, and gently pulling away the backing paper at a 180 degree angle (so it's sort of folded) and edging it away slowly from the cut so it stays on the transfer tape. Be sure to weed gently and slowly too. It's a bit more time consuming, but worth it for the end result.

This is as good a quality as cricut and good value for money. However I have dropped a star as this is no where near as glossy as cricut. There is another version in their shop which has an extra protective layer ( possibly called 001?), so I think that is the one I should have ordered. However, this is still going to do the job. Just perhaps not with as much shine. Hope this helps someone.

I was meant to be using this for a few projects because it said "permanent" , which if I'm not mistaken means that it is meant to stay put.. well it doesn't. I used to use Cricut vinyl but couldn't get hold of what I wanted in time so I ordered this as it was meant to be "great" what a let down :(Where to start, well the vinyl wont stick to the transfer tape, so you spend an absolute age trying to transfer it from the backing to the tape, then when that has done you find that in the weeding process that the vinyl managed to find adhesion enough to steal the dot from your (i) then you now have to find it or improvise ..Then after that frustration is over you are ready to transfer your design that you spent 3 hours making.. you stand back and stare in awe at the masterpiece you have created, you lovingly let it dry and cure properly before letting a dribble of water run over the letters, but you needn't of worried because already even though you prepped the area before sticking the vinyl, the letters are already lifting and then (yep you guessed it) the letters drop off into your sink, never to be seen again. you slump over the sink with sigh and a face of disappointment and then thank your lucky stars that this never got used for any of your projects you sold.So do yourselves (and your business) a favour give this a PASS and choose something that stays put
