When you say relief cuts in the transfer tape do you not cut the vinyl at all?? Would the vinyl pucker in areas where there's ridges etc in the body?? Sorry if that's a silly question, just having a hard time visualizing it. What kind of transfer tape are you using?
So could you split the shell into sections (left side, right side, hood, etc) and lay down the designs (each section one cut)?? Will painters tape or masking tape pull cleanly off of vinyl if you wanted to join to sections together like say a design on the side to one on the nose?

Never tried using masking tape for transfer tape .

Start to more and more bodies that need numbers or word added to the schemes and maybe its time to invest in a cutter/plotter, what info you guy have on this unit.

I use a USCutter LP24 and is it ok. The stepper motor cutters are not a good and precise as the servo cutters. Problem with the servo cutters are they are a lot more expensive. If you can get the stepper motor cutters dialed in they will work for what we need. The detail work will not be as good as the servo cutters. I eventually want to invest in a servo but for that kind of scratch it will be a while

Chris/Charlie: I know that the GX24 is a superior cutter, but how was the small details as in difficulty to weed. I know it will be hard being it's smaller, but could you pull the mask off without trimming. Am I making sense? The size I am talking about is around .13 which is just a little larger then 1/8"
With my cutter I do not get really clean cuts. I have to do a little cutting when weeding.

For the most pat I do not have a ton of issues. I am trying to get it dialed in. The cuts do not 100% close! but it is close.
What I am curious of is words that are .13" tall. I try cutting them this small with mixed results. Maybe it is just because they are that small that makes it so difficult to weed and cut

For RC cutting, the UScutter Laserpoint does just fine. I have used my laserpoint for over 5 years and made thousands of masks with them. It all depends on your budget and what you are willing to spend. Again, for 99% of your cutting needs, the $300 Laserpoint will do the job.
