[quote=charlescarlis]"Weeding" is the process of peeling out the vinyl you don't want after the plotter cuts the pattern out. It leaves just the logo behind on the release paper. This is usually done for the customer and they may never know about it. After that, you have to get "transfer tape" that you lay over the entire logo, squeegee it down, peel off the transfer tape and the logo comes off with it, ready to be placed down on your boat hull, perfectly. Hopefully. You can also use a specialized surfactant (something like soap) spray that allows you to squeegee out bubbles before it sticks, much like old fashioned water decals on models.
Had to learn all that stuff just to make our own custom safety signs at work... It also works for laminate sails, BTW. Which reminds me, I need to cut out some new logos for my new sail.[/quote]
