Vinyl Cutter Accessories

Choose a brayer, scraper or squeegee

Choose the contact surface and width for the exact stage of the vinyl project.

Support material before cutting

Use a roller only when the mat and media instructions support it. Check the width of the roller face and confirm that the material is positioned within the usable cutting grid.

Burnish before lifting the liner

Follow the vinyl and tape makers' instructions for applying even pressure. Choose a tool edge that is suitable for the tape and the surface it touches.

Match width to the artwork

Choose a wide edge for a broad graphic and a narrower one for easier steering around short lines or curves. Test the edge or felt facing on a scrap first.

Guide questions

What does a brayer do?

It distributes pressure through a rotating face across the material it touches.

What does burnishing mean here?

It means pressing the transfer tape against the vinyl so it can carry the cut design.

Is one scraper width enough?

Compare the width and shape of your projects before adding another tool.

Which tool suits the job?

Both TECKWRAP examples have a felt-faced edge. The six-inch Pitaya tool covers more of a broad graphic. The blue tool measures about four inches and can be easier to steer around a small decal or tight area.

The Cricut brayer rolls across compatible vinyl to seat it on the mat. The XL Scraper presses along a rigid edge and can burnish transfer tape or clear loose scraps. Choose according to the stage and contact surface the material calls for.
