I am really struggling to cut some letters out of ThermoBanner (Type1) material. This is really thin stuff, I'm using a 45deg blade on a Roland CAMM-1 with 90g pressure. Any more pressure and I rip through everything. The problem is, I can't weed the stuff. It just stays together. Anybody out there with any experience at this? I can't reach anyone on the phone at "Specialty Materials". Thanks, Steve

Glenn, ThermoBanner is a heat transfer material. It's typical applications (according to the manufacturer) are banners, awnings, umbrellas,tire covers. We are trying to letter a piece of canvas. Either heat pressed or ironed on. - Steve

Thanks for all of the help! - Steve
