I have been making several V-carved signs with very small details and find that the force of the cutter lifts off some small pieces of Oramask. Very frustrating. I am using DF (old growth) and sand to 220 grit and tack cloth before applying the Oramask so for the most part adhesion seems to be good. I am also getting "fuzzies" of Oramask along the cut line, though not consistently so. With the same bit, some cuts are perfectly clean, others not so. A real PITA to clean up before painting. My V-bits are not brand new, however they are cutting the wood cleanly.
I am wondering if its possible to cut the Oramask with a vinyl cutter prior to cutting with a V-bit to help solve this problem?
I own a Stinger 1 with a spindle. Can you use a vinyl cutter on this machine? I can't seem to find info on doing so.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, bob
