You seem to have 2 similar threads running at the minute which won't help with responses.

Are you using vinyl lettering here? If so, is the material not sticky? If not, as previously mentioned you need wider application tape.

let me try and understand to help the answers come in, you are using 3g jet opaque, then you are contour cutting around the individual letters, then you are using a heat tape to fix all the now weeded letters and then press them as a self made transfer ?

as John says what are you using and is it from yolo ?? there should not be any residue

Well, there's your answer. :rolleyes:
If you're using yolo transfer sheets, buy their masks - then you'll know it works.
