Why must I use adhesive-backed vinyl if I need to use transfer paper anyway for acid etching glass?

This stuff works well for customizing cars, shoes, crafts, etc... because with heat it conforms to about any shape and sticks but when removed comes off very easy and leaves no residue.

No, this is not transfer paper and the foil cannot be removed from the paper backing. It is very similar to wrapping paper.

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.

The vinyl application by necessity has one side that is adhesive backed and one side that is not. They are pretty much one directional installations, but you can rotate them as you see fit.

Neither. This is for transfering vinyl to other surfaces. Not heat transfer.

The page backing is a textured plastic or vinyl material but it is not rough. The front (sleeve) itself is smooth plastic. If you are worried about scratches to your discs I don't think it should be a problem. I hope this helps.

I am not sure. The vinyl is adhesive on the back but I use it on hard, flat surfaces like glass, woodo and walls.

I ordered this exactly for that purpose, but was disappointed when it arrived not labeled as "shelf liner" because that is typically less tacky than the regular clear Con-tact paper. I figured I would try it anyway...and IT WORKS PERFECTLY as transfer paper on Silhouette adhesive vinyl! And the clear diamond pattern allows me to see what I'm doing, so my design is not crooked on my project! What a time and money saver!

I really do not get the adhesive, for something I'd wondered how to paste glass coverage. The problem is that I am not in USA I live actually in Venezuela and was on holiday in USA.

If you need something that will stick really well, no. Think of this as a huge "Post-It" note...the adhesive sticks fine, but is weak enough to be peeled off and re-posted. If you want contact paper, buy "contact paper"---the stuff sticks like cement!

I would not use it for a really good bond to vinyl. Instead use a vinyl cement like HH66, which is a bit harder to find yet gets stronger with age. Many products say they are ok for vinyl and are not. For smaller amounts, I suggest the permatex brand vinyl cement as HH66 comes in pints and up and is a bit expensive. Good luck!

It is a thick paper. Paper on the back, glossy on the side stuck to the vinyl.

No this is not for use with heat transfer vinyl. If you're looking for something to put over heat transfer vinyl get some Teflon sheets.

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.

You could. But there is no telling what the adhesive might do if you don't peal the paper off.

I don't know. I have never needed or tried to do it. Update: I just took a blank label and applied it firmly to a sheet of white paper. I was able to remove it without damaging the white paper. The label itself curled up in the process of removing it but still had a sticky back, so I was able to reapply it to the paper again. Although some of the adhesiveness was gone the second time.

I used this on regular glass doors and I would speculate that it would not adhere properly to etched glass, ie., you could get a lot of air pockets and bubbles and not be happy with the outcome vs. smooth glass where it achieves uniform adhesion.
