I think I have finally figured out how to make wood signs with my Cricut Explore machine. I was using vinyl to make my stencils for the signs. This was not working very well. The final would not stick to the wood and it was very expensive. I went to Walmart and bought contact paper in a wood grain and clear contact paper. I now use these to make the stencils for my signs. I also use Ace brand spray paint. If I want to sign with two colors , I spray the color that I want the words in first. Identify my cut out vinyl image. I allowed wood to dry for 30 minutes. I then apply my image. I spray the final coat spray paint and allowed to dry for 30 minutes. I peel the vinyl image.
