Thank you so much for publishing this! I've had mixed results with Oracal 751 in the past and your settings were perfect. Saved me time and frustration.

Thanks for leaving a comment! We get several hundred comments a day. While we appreciate every single one of them it's nearly impossible to respond back to all of them, all the time. So... if you could help me by treating these comments like a forum where readers help readers.
