Step-by-Step Application Guide
- Cut the vinyl: Always flip your design horizontally, and use a sharp blade to cut the thicker material. Weed slowly and carefully.
- Prepare the garment: Place it on a heat-resistant flat surface. Pre-press for a few seconds to prepare the fabric for transfer.
- Apply heat: Set the correct temperature and pressure, and press for the manufacturer’s recommended time.
- Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and peel warm or cold as instructed. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.
Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and keep the surface protected during care.
