Review on TECKWRAP Opal White Holographic Chrome Craft Vinyl Roll, 1ft x 5ft by Kelsey Brown

Teckwrap is a higher rated brand and has received 4 stars for this product from 4000 reviews , so I decided to try this vinyl. I purchased a roll of 1ft x 5ft holographic chrome vinyl in opal white. The color is absolutely beautiful and exactly the same as the photos in the review that I saw. It was easy to weed when set to the right settings (I used high quality holographic vinyl on Cricut Maker). Here the pluses end. This reel had scratches, stains and blisters despite being brand new and sealed. I've read reviews that some had to remove the clear protective layer but I didn't have it. I tried my best to remove the bubbles with a squeegee but it still didn't solve the scratches. I found smaller pieces on the roll that had fewer marks on them to try and cut the project I was making, but that wasn't what I needed to do. A bunch of pieces were wasted because I could still see those flaws, especially since it's a holographic vinyl. Since I already had some of the elements cut out, I decided to put them on top of the glass I was working on. The grip was terrible. It's basically a sticker, not a permanent one. I am very disappointed because the color is so beautiful. Unfortunately, due to its rave reviews, I have given this item the benefit of the doubt while still testing it and trying to give it away for my project. Wouldn't recommend it.
