Can the vinyl that comes with this cutter be used for truck lettering and if so, how long does it withstand the weather?

Yes you can use this type vinyl for lettering for vehicles and it should last 3-5 yrs. To learn about different vinyl's and there uses, they have a tutorial video that you can watch regarding this.

I use it outdoor it is polyester no paper so water proof , make sure the surface is clean and flat , glass work best however I use on plastic , painted metal and wood as well, clean the surface with little alcohol to remove stain and fat and it should hold on as well , my location is in shadow so not sure how long the text will last in full sun

I use this on white boards to form boxes for different projects. I have not used it outside. Sorry I could not offer more information.

I never went through a car wash with it, and there is not a chance I would have even tried. I'm 100% positive this vinyl would hold up just fine, as it is pretty tough stuff...I just wouldn't want to risk tearing it up after all the time and effort it took to get it perfect.

I used adhesive vinyls on the surface & then used urethane. I believe you would be able to use acrylics & then use a varnish coat for lasting durabilty. I'm sure anything would scrape off if road hard.

NO! they r more suited for indoor stuff...you will have to go to a graphics place and get them to print your design on weather proof vinyl.... and let them put a coat of liquid laminate of the image and that will last you a while...

For me I never used this vinyl to where it was exposed to any kind of water so I'm not sure. But I think if you apply the vinyl correctly and give it time to settle (24 hours) it should be fine for those conditions. I Hope this helped.

Well I have had some labels in my garden for the last ten years and still look as good as new. They are outside year round in some of the harshest weather included extreme heat and sun to snow and hail. The trick is to buy the UV resistant tape which costs a little more but well worth the extra money.

Be sure to get the plastic tape and it will last. I had lables on my boat for years. Paper won't

Here in California, where we're experiencing drought, it would be great for an outdoor sign. The few places where we've cut shapes out of it, haven't found any voids. Arrived in perfect condition, wrapped in plastic, with no warping at all.

I made a bumper sticker using the white waterproof vinyl and it has survived the car wash a few times per week for a few months. I'd say do a tester and definitely wash cold!

The description lists outdoor durability that lasts up to 5 years and the adhesive IS very permanent... cannot be removed without tearing up the design. This pack is great to try as it has so many colors to choose from. I have not used it for car decals yet, but the other projects have been very successful.

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Although the instructions say no need for priming... I still would probably use a fine grain sandpaper on the vinyl first, then spray in thin layers spraying each layer within 12 hours of each other. After 7 days it should be nice solid for you. I wouldn't try it on something as flexible as sheet vinyl.

Stickers feel like good quality. If you will have it under covers like you say I think it will survive. I have a little tikes car for my kid outside for over a year and the sticker is already fading a bit but nothing crazy. Mostly cause of the sun I believe

Sorry. I do not have the answer to how these labels will withstand weathering outdoors. I wondered how the adhesive will last along with if the letters fade or wash away.

We used this tape to bind homemade book covers. Masking tape is too thin to be sturdy. Vinyl tape seemed too slick and the adhesive seemed too gooey. Duct tape was too slick and gooey also, plus it breaks down with time. This tape blended well with the covers and gave crisp clean lines. We actually cut the tape in 1/2 inch wide strips the length of what we needed. We would have preferred a 1/2 inch wide roll for our projects, but could not find any. If you are needing tape for temporary projects, the other tapes will work, but if you want a professional long lasting tape, this is good stuff.

I've never used it for that, so I can't say. I would think it would. A customer in our local auto parts store told me he used it on a crack in his snow plow and it held up. Just be sure to let it cure long enough per the directions. I don't know if this helps you or not.
