Permanent Cricut Smart Vinyl Not Sticking?

CraftyShanice

Hi, I am new a new user of the Cricut Explore Air 2. In fact I'm new to Cricut and any kind of cutting/crafts so please bear with me

I'd designed and cut some Permanent Cricut Smart Vinyl and stuck it onto a Gin glass, which I thought had stuck well and looked great. Unfortunately, my boyfriend put it in the dishwasher without realising it should be hand wash and it's taken away ALL of the vinyl - is there any better vinyl I should be using for glass/ceramic? Is there anything I should have applied over the top of the vinyl once removing the transfer sheet? I just don't want the same to happen when hand washed.

Thank you for your help!!

@CraftyShanice - you need to use a vinyl that is designed for outdoor use, or car decal vinyl, any vinyl designed to withstand the elements. Here are some tips:

And even after that you should always hand wash them.

It's also a good idea to let the vinyl sit at least 24 hours after application to give the adhesive time to be well adhered.
