I am doing some tests with different materials to make Cricut car decals. From adhesive vinyl to printable vinyl with a laminate, what material should you use when making car decals with your Cricut? Which stickers are waterproof? What about UV resistance? I am testing all of that for you so that you can have the knowledge you need for making the decals you make for your car last as long as possible.

Materials for these tests are at the following affiliate links:

  • Whenever I use a clear cover over the top of the printable vinyl, I make the clear slightly larger than the base design. Now that we have the offset available, I do just about 1/8" offset to totally seal the edges of the printable to prevent any water seepage. It works great and I have had no problems. Of course, this means you have to cut separately.
  • You’re such an amazing person Angie!!! I am so very grateful to you for testing out so many aspects & techniques for us!!! Seeing blessings & hugs!!!
