Tubeman Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hey everyone, I'm looking for suggestions on types/brands of plotters used to cut self adhesive vinyl materials to stick on lures. If there is a post, can someone copy and paste the link in the comment Thanks Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Steel Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I use a Silhouette Cameo 4 to cut out vinyl stencils. I imagine it would work on stick on vinyl as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it would work on stick on vinyl as well. How does it work with a ton of small details and shape corners? As if you were trying to cut a jagged pattern for scales or something like that? I have access to a big Graptec cutter at work - works great on big things like boating numbers or large items - but it's has it's challenges on for very small details notably for small jagged items - it loves large rounded shapes and runs beautifully on that - but try to cut a 1/4" x 1/4" jagged shape and it tend to rip it up.

Brick Steel Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 It does well, although there is a learning curve. I used the Cameo 4 to cut the stencils that I used to do the lettering on the five inch jerk baits in the attached photo. I made eight baits using these templates. Btw, I didn't expect the fish to respond to the message, but I made the baits as gifts for our elders and ministers. I have used the Cameo to cut stencils for other patterns, but these were by far the most intricate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Steel Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 By the way, the fuzziness of some of the lettering is due to my airbrush technique - or lack of. But I'm slowly getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowFISH Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Looks good... the "fuzzyness" gives it dimensions / motion... I like it. And looks like you can cut some fairly thin/details for a stencil like that. thanks for posting. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I have a Silhouette CURIO cutter and it works great for me. Once you get the hang of it, I make what I want on a draw like paint or other than transfer it to Curio and it does just what I want, go on you tube and check it out. I don't like to give out the address of sites because you must do your home work that way you will learn much more than we can tell.
