Contour cutting perforated vinyl

Anybody on here ever cut window decals out of 50/50 perforated vinyl?

I tried to make a couple and the versacamm sounded horrible trying to cut it, All the sharp corners tore out trying to weed around it. That stuff is to expensive to be experimenting with..

I may not have had enough blade pressure or does it take a different blade? I used a 45

I have made one before but the corners were not as sharp. I did not think it looked good on the window either but I am getting more people wanting see thru window decals.

What are the tricks to cut these and make them look good?

Thanks, Steven

we tried this at the end of one of my recent classes as someone wanted to see if it could be done. Without lamination - horrible mess - with lamination - it worked better but not what I would call great results.

Chris I have contour cut them into shapes and placed them on a store window. As long as you do your depth adjustment and maybe start with a new blade you will be fine. I was looking on my facebook to see if I had pictures up - The designs were free flowing nothing intricate.
