Why did you pick this product vs others?:To help others for circut maker users. Notbook paper setting. Normal pressure. 40° blade. Cut like a dream.

I wanted to make house numbers for our new mailbox before I installed it and I wanted to make them with reflective vinyl to make them easier to see at night. This roll seemed reasonable for the price. It does indeed reflect as advertised. I will attach a pic taken with the flash on. I did find it tricky to cut on my Cricut. Since it is thick, I tried first setting it to Vinyl+. That cut but not quite deep enough to cut the vinyl and adhesive and it was tough to weed. I tried a custom setting as recommended by another reviewer here with a little higher pressure and a double cut. That failed because on the second pass it would fold over the small ends of the letters. Next I tried the default Holographic Vinyl with a single cut and that worked better. Pressure was about 195 on that setting. If I have to cut this again I might bump that to about 210 or so. It loves to stick to itself so as I was weeding I kept a pair of scissors handy to snip off the excess as I peeled it up. It’s very stretchy and easy to ruin. I managed to mangle one just applying the transfer tape, my transfer tape had a bubble in it and it pulled up a number when I tried to smooth it out. That was my mistake though, not a fault of the material.

The media could not be loaded. I skimmed the reviews and decided to go for it anyway. So very glad I did. Purchased this for mailbox decals.THE BLACK IS REFLECTIVE, 100% REFLECTIVEOn the cricut maker 3 I used "Light Cardstock" on the default and it cut perfectly. Weeded easily, transfered easily. And so far is sticking amazingly to the mailbox!Don't use the cardstock for intricate cuts n then select more pressure, use LIGHT cardstock... don't ask me how I know!What I can say for sure is that this material is easy to work with, it does stretch a bit so if you cut all the way thru the backing just be delicate when placing it onto a spare backing sheet.

READ THIS IF YOU'RE USING A CRICUT TO CUT THIS!This vinyl is so hard to work with. I thankfully read the reviews and was able to complete my project successfully.Here's what I did:1) I used the holographic deco art vinyl setting and used extra pressure. It cut it out beautifully.2) I used the reverse weed method. This was my first time using this method to weed. It was a little weird at first but it actually worked really well! Look up videos on YouTube on how to reverse weed.This vinyl loves to stick to itself. It also loves to tear easily. I took my time and just made sure everything was sticking down. I cut the excess vinyl a bit at a time so it didn't get too cumbersome and get in my way. It was kind of annoying but it worked. I even put our street name on our mailbox. I removed it from the pic because, reasons. But the letters are tiny and everything came out great!Hopefully this helps you. 😊

Reflective vinyl is VERY hard to use. BUT there are a few things you can do to make it doable.The material is a thin stretchy membrane that wants to re-adhere to itself even when cut, has a thin glue membrane that doesn't always cut through, is stretchy, doesn't like sticking to its backing.1. double cut. Make a customer material that does every cut twice. Add a box around your design so you can pick the entire thing up including the box.2. REVERSE WEED - Cut, transfer ENTIRE thing to transfer tape, put the transfer tape sticky side up on the sticky matt to weed. The transfer tape will hold things together WAY better than the carrier it comes on. Use one tool to hold down small sections when ripping away the parts you are weeding.3. Be comfortable ripping the parts you are weeding. The material is not very strong, it is easier to do in parts by ripping the vinyl, be ok with it ripping and going back to pull up those parts.

Sorry, I've done a lot of cutting with reflective 3M vinyl, and this stuff is not good. It acts like foil, not vinyl and my cutter is not good at cutting it, especially anything small. It might be fine for larger project, though. It's also difficult to weed because it crumples like foil and easily sticks to itself, making anything like Ps, Bs or Rs a nightmare to weed if they're small.It does, however, reflect well and is true to color. It just seems to be a bit of a pain to work with compared to what I'm used to.

It is very useful, I recommend it to you.

It is reflective but it is very very low quality vinyl. it tears easily, has no air release tech (didn't expect it too) and is almost impossible to remove. I liken this more to a reflective stick than vinyl. If you want to cut out a small decal of some sort it should work if you are very careful in application. IF you want anything large that has a decent surface area you are going to have problems. If you are used to automotive and hobby vinyl this does not allow you to lift and reset to remove wrinkles or air bubbles (soapy water didn't work and vinyl just never stayed stuck after) so it needs to be perfect from the start.I have used many other vinyl wrap and have never had the issue i had with this one. Ended up tossing the whole roll after several attempts. Removal was a nightmare. It rips in small chunks and is almost impossible to take off any significant amount at a time. i would look for something else and stay a way from this one.
