is this stickier than regular vinyl or in any other way superior for stencil use?

This sticks to cloth really good. Where as contact paper doesn't stick. But if you are using it on anything besides cloth use any kind of vinyl.

Janis, this is like double-sided tape but much much stickier. You cannot write on it.

It is like a cloth tape, very tacky and sticks extremely well. My experience with vinyl tape is tears, sharp corners/edges and not very professional looking.

I'm sorry I can't answer you question. I can tell it is very sticky and I've never had any fabric I've put on it shift or move in any way. I did a quick search and found a FB post (https://www.facebook.com/FiveStarFonts.embroidery/posts/747985168562503) where they were talking about it and it seems the majority liked Floriani Perfect Stick stabilizer for embroidering hats.

I have had great success cutting very detailed stencils on Yupo. It is a 100% Polypropylene 104 lb sheet that watercolor artist use. You can buy it in an 9x12 pad. I use the translucent.

I've did my entire sun-room (16X20) which are all vinyl and have had no problems. I dilute it as it directs and I Never allow it dry on anything which "may" make the difference but, I like it and have had No problems and will continue to use it. That is "my" personal experience with it on vinyl.

I tried using it as removable stencil and it tears very easily. I used it on a glass bottle - hope that helps you?!

It uses standard label tape for embossers.This is what I use DYMO Embossing Tape - Glossy vinyl labels - black - Roll (3/8 in x 9.8 ft) - 3 Rolls as I find it sticks much better than the clear tape that comes with this.I believe 1/4" can fit in there also (the instructions should say), but I am not too sure on this.Might be too small to fit 1/2".

Yes, but not very well. It's just plain sticker material. Vinyl would stick great, though

The vinyl sticks very well and is pretty forgiving when it comes to removal but I haven't left it on a painted surface for a long time and then removed it. Probably will remove from a semi gloss better than a flat.

Margo, The vinyl is a lot thicker than contact paper but it uses the same concept. I tried a sample piece on my countertop has it has worn well. I haven't been able to complete mine because I am laying over tile with very large grout lines. I am not willing to tear it up and everything I had tried still left marks through the vinyl. I now have found an acrylic overlay that I am going to try to make a smooth surface. I can tell you that even thought they say it is forgiving over scratches and marks, I haven't found that to be true. It does heat up with a blow dryer to go over corners. Good luck Margo, The vinyl is a lot thicker than contact paper but it uses the same concept. I tried a sample piece on my countertop has it has worn well.

Hello. This vinyl was a thicker vinyl than what I typically work with. It is a glossy finish vinyl -- not matte finish. I did not put this vinyl on any painted surfaces or sell it to anyone for that purpose. This set of vinyl sheets was used for wrapping and cutting special projects that weren't placed on drywall surfaces. Send me your address -- I'm happy to send you a few pieces of it to try before you get it. :)

I would think so. I have used it to etch, but have used etching cream. My favorite is Armour Etch. I use Contact brand contact paper. It works the best and is way cheaper than buying special vinyl to make the stencils. Just use the vinyl setting to cut it.

I used it to print a shirt with a stencil and a sponge and it bled thru. I've had trouble getting it a uniform color without using a screen. Hope this helped

I love this cartridge. I have made vinyl quoted for wood signs and they turned out wonderful. When you type a word out it is already lined up! Hope this helps you, have fun!

Yes. It's vinyl. I have fabric cloth so it doesn't stick, but pretty sure even with plastic it's not going to be a problem.

It is adhesive, but it's junk. I bought some for my sticker business and had to throw it away because it cut so poorly.
