It works great as the glass lays on it and it helps prevent the wine glass from moving.
Really, what type of vinyl is best for glass? Sticky vinyl: Be sure to use permanent vinyl when adding to glass instead of the removable version.

Tip: to make sure your vinyl is level on a glass you can fill it with some water and set it on a level surface. To adhere vinyl on a rounded surface cut the transfer tape close to the design, in-between every 3rd letter cut 1/4 inch to allow some flexibility, I find pressing the middle first helps.

5) Place your design on the glass and cover with a Heat Press Sheet (or parchment paper). 6) Set your heat press to the appropriate temperature (330 degrees F for HTV-Textured Glitter). Make sure your heat press is set at ZERO pressure. As already mentioned, glass can break very easily when heated.
