  • Applying Hotflex

    Posted by Stickertech on 6 July 2005 at 06:52

    Hi,

    I have only ever used the Vinyl corporation for my supplies and they have recomended that for cotton applications Hotflex is the stuff i need.

    Is this the case? do I definitly need a hot press to apply it, or can I get away with an iron in the short term??

    As I am intending to use an iron how long is it recomended that I apply the heat??

    thanks in advance!!

    Matt

    You can experiment with an iron but if you are going to be selling you products to the public I would try and invest in a cheap :rofl: heatpress.

    It can be very difficult to find a cheap heatpress I know but it will pay for itself in quite a short time.

    I almost wasn’t going to reply but then I thought that you shouls actually know how tedious it will become to use an iron.

    Don’t do it – it’s finike enough with a heat press.

    Do yourself a favour – sell a tyre off the race car and buy a heat press 😀
