How To Cut Our House Brand HTV

You have purchased some of our House Brand HTV.  Now lets go over how to cut it.

If you ordered something with no brand in the title (you don't see ThermoFlex Plus or Siser) then this is house brand.

First, you have to know if you purchased the matte HTV or regular HTV.    Does it say MATTE in the title? If yes then you purchased MATTE HTV.  If it does not then you purchased regular HTV which has a semi gloss finish.  

We are going to go over how to cut the MATTE HTV First.  

The picture above shows MATTE white and MATTE black house brand HTV.  On the left of each picture is the front (carrier sheet) side and the right is the back (glue) side.  When you cut this one you want the shiny (carrier sheet) down and the glue side up.

Regular HTV:

The regular HTV has a semi gloss finish.

In the above picture, the front (carrier sheet) is on the left and the back (glue) side is on the right.  When you cut this one you want the carrier sheet down and glue side up.  

Tip: When cutting HTV vinyl no matter where it came from, you can always use your weeding tool and pick up a corner.  The side with the vinyl on it is the glue side.  You want that side always up no matter what side you think is the shiny or matte side.  If you are picking at a corner and it is not weeding up then flip it over.  You are most likely trying to weed up the carrier sheet side.  You always want the carrier sheet side facing down when cutting HTV, and the glue side up.
