Waterslide Paper VS Printable Vinyl: What Should I Use?

- Hello everyone!
Ever wanted to know the difference between waterslide paper and printable vinyl?
In this video I show you the outcome of using both on a Starbucks reusable cup with the epoxy method.
Waterslide paper is a fun new way of adding pictures to your projects! Although it may look challenging at first I love the final look of pictures on it.
What I use:

Thank you for taking time to make my cup I really love it 🥰🤗
You’re welcome 😁
I'd be interested in seeing a comparison with these 2 along side white waterslide
Yes!! I actually just got the white waterslide too!
Just learning this to replace letters on a machine. I wanted to make sure I understand correctly. To get the name with the Teckwrap, you need a cricut machine to make the text cut? I'm going to be using it for very small text.
You should do a behind the scenes video of what cricut machine you have and what tools and accessories for it you use. Maybe even include your lighting and camera set up.
Great idea! Thank you for the advice!! 😄
I like the vinyl better 🥰
Really enjoyed the video, do you know how I cure waterslide paper on plastic cup without using epoxy?
Thank you!! You can always try dishwasher safe mod podge! Haven’t tried it myself but I think it could work
Will printable vinyl work under crystalac? Do I need to seal the printable vinyl prior to crystalac? I haven’t tried epoxy but have crystalac.
I haven’t tried crystalac so I can’t say for sure! I never sealed the printable vinyl but moving forward I would do a light coat of some sort of sealing spray 😊
Yes it will crystalac can do the same techniques as epoxy with a few exceptions
Why can’t you print the water slide paper and use the Cricut to cut out the flowers. Honest question, with genuine curiosity. Looking for some education thank you :)
Hi!! To be honest, I just never tried it but I did learn that when I cut too close (with scissors) to the ink it’s a little harder to slide it off. I do plan on doing an updated waterslide video soon!! I’ve learned so much about it the more I use it ❤️
can you do a video where you apply the epoxy & how long it takes to dry?
Yes I can! Typically it does take about 24 hrs for the cup to fully cure
Can I reuse large trimmings of waterslide paper in the printer again? I feel like I'm wasting a lot of paper... Thanks!
Yes!! I always try to print it from a reg word doc to avoid the black box that cricut prints (since I cut it by hand anyway) so I cut only what I will be using before spraying it. Then when I reuse I tape it to a reg piece of paper so it doesn’t jam 😊
Love it ❤️
Why wouldn’t you use the cricut to cut the water slide paper?
I found it to be a little more challenging to remove the backing when you cut too close to the ink. Just my personal preference
Do you have to seal printable vinyl before you add to cup
For the most part I seal it with epoxy but I do have a cup that I did not seal it with anything and it has stayed on so far after a few hand washes!
@@craftingwithsoul8624 I mean does the colors run if you just seal with epoxy
@@laurapenny1107 it does not 😊
Aren't you applying the waterslide upside down? I thought the part that slides off was the BACKING?
I don’t think there’s necessarily a “wrong way” to do it. When I looked at the instructions it looked like the image was flipped (like I did) but I do it both ways! I’ll do an updated one soon 😊
Hi is there any reason why you flipped the water slide? The water slide paper I have doesn't mention flipping the decal.
Hi! On the instructions of the Hayes paper I used the image was flipped after applied so that’s what I did too lol. It does make it a little easier to apply your image in my opinion but I think it’s more of what you prefer. Lately I’ve been sliding the image onto the cup instead of flipping and since I seal mine with epoxy I don’t have any issues doing either method.
I really like this video.. I'm not done watching yet.. liked and subbed
Thank you!!! And welcome! 🥰
Nice. The cup holder. How did u make that.
It was a gift! But you can search Etsy too!
Hi is your cup epoxied before you put on the vinyl and water slide?
Yes it is 😊 I learned the hard way that you need a clean epoxy coat before waterslide lol. Sometimes I sand my cup down, add the reg vinyl and a layer of epoxy before waterslide
@@craftingwithsoul8624 thank you so much!
the image from the vinyl is so much better like HD
What glitter did you use?
This is "Honeycomb" from Backfist Customs!
is your printer laser or inkjet?
I’m pretty sure it’s an inkjet 😊
Hi is this the frosted reusable plastic Starbucks cup? The reason I’m asking is because I been told if you apply epoxy on them they crack? I’m be to this please help. Thank you in advance
Hi! Yes it is the Starbucks reusable cup. The epoxy can crack if you squeeze or drop the cup, adding paint as a base layer helps the epoxy adhere better. I always include care instructions with all the cups I make and even have some myself that have been just fine 😊
How do pain the frosted Starbucks cup? Sorry for all the 21 questions
No worries 😊 I usually cut out a circle with vinyl to cover the sb logo and tape the rim so you don’t get any paint inside. Then just turn upside down & spray paint!
Any type of spray paint or is there a specific one you recommend
Yes any should be fine. I use the krylon brand 😊
I’m no expert but I’m sure you’re putting the water slide decals the wrong way round: the decal slides off the backing paper onto the object. You’re losing all the image resolution. If the decal had words in it, you’d see it was right reading on the backing paper.
Yes! It took a lot of trial and error with this paper but I finally got it down 😊
Did you have to seal the printable vinyl?
Yes! I always use epoxy over the printable vinyl. If it scratches the ink will come off sometimes
@@craftingwithsoul8624 im sorry I meant do you seal it with anything before putting epoxy on it
If I’m using it on a cup like this I don’t but I have made kids cups that I only seal it with crystal clear glaze 😊
@@craftingwithsoul8624 thank you!
What type of epoxy do yu use?
I use alumilite 😊
@@craftingwithsoul8624 so basically after yu add the epoxy all decals become water resistant right?
@@jennyrojo2153 yes! When using waterslide I did a layer of epoxy then added my images then another layer
@@craftingwithsoul8624 oh ok thank you so much!!!!
You’re welcome! 🥰
Printable vinyl is the worst. It’s all about the water slide🤣
Definitely agree!! Waterslide takes time to get used to but once you got it down you’ll never go back!
