Product Description

3M Design Line knifeless tape for precision cutting of vinyl wrap to required size and shape

3M Design Line's super-thin filament line allows for cleaner, more knife-like cuts, with a precision that surpasses competing products. Most vinyl manufacturers advise that you only cut half way through the vinyl (scoring) if you are using a blade. As a result, when you pull the excess vinyl away, you can easily tear it, resulting in a cut that is frayed and unslightly. With Design Line , you get a clean cut every time.

Design Line’s clean cuts, coupled with a filament that can be pulled from any angle, allows you to cut complex shapes without the use of a plotter. This makes it the ideal tool to use when applying customized decals, including text, and company logos, as well as cutting vinyl to wrap intricately shapes panels that would otherwise require a knife. 3M Design Line empowers you to unleash your creativity, and take your car wrap designs to a whole new level!

Works great for many applications. The tape adheres well to any surface and creates a clean cut through vinyl even the thicker materials. Even if you need to pick it up and re lay it, it will still adhere.

So I have a matte black Bell helmet that is really hot in summer and I wanted to get some relief so I bought 5 feet of car wrap and gave this a try. I watched the 3M video and starting the line was easy but the cut line sometimes does its job and sometimes I had to cut a little of the vinyl to get it started. Other times the line would break halfway (even though I was pulling at a ~30° angle) and then I would pull the rest by starting at the other end. My wrapping skills are terrible with bubbles and creases but tomorrow I'll see if it was worth the effort. If not then I'll just dip it.

It took me a little practice to figure out how to use this knifeless tape without breaking it. After a few tries, I was good to go.

Okay. Lessons learned from an advanced beginner. This particular product is intended for design cuts. Meaning, on a flat surface where you have two colors coming together. The tape is very small width (3.5mm) 3m offers a variety of widths… And it matters.When you wrap say where your door and fender lines are. You want 3m Bridge line tape (not to be confused with Design line) as this is specifically made thicker/wider for these joints. This tape is wide enough to cover the joint panel to panel leaving the string in the middle for a perfect cut and tuck. Triline is thicker than design lines 3.5mm. It is best used at areas of transition and indentation and in some panel joints and so on. This website for some reason only offers design line style tapes. It was very frustrating in the beginning.I can say, without a doubt prep is everything. No different than body work prior to paint. All kinds of tips and tricks out there (Youtube) Also, heat gun is your best friend when used cautiously as not to over heat things. This tape worked great for its intended application. The other tapes are hard to find good luck.Hope this helps from one beginner to another…
