Goal: Achieve clean weeding and proper transfer tape application.

Assignment

1. Intricate Weeding: Cut a small, intricate text design (at least 2 cm tall, using a font with small inner spaces like serifs or dots).
2. Tool Mastery:
3. Use your weeding hook to remove the large areas of excess vinyl.
4. Use your tweezers or pickers to precisely remove the tiny inner pieces (e.g., inside the ‘a’, ‘o’, or ‘e’).
5. Transfer Prep: Apply transfer tape smoothly over the weeded design, ensuring you use the squeegee to firmly burnish the transfer tape onto the vinyl (known as ‘pre-masking’) to prevent lifting during final application.

Submission

Submit two photos:

1. One photo showing the weeded design with the waste vinyl collected in your scrap collector/dustbin (demonstrating clean workspace management).
2. One close-up photo of the design with the transfer tape properly applied, showing no air bubbles underneath.
