  • Garment Vinyl on Polyester

    Probably not the correct place to post this, my mind’s not working correctly after another sleepless night!

    I’ve been given a polyester body warmer to put some garment vinyl on. My question is:

    Is it a good idea to put a body warmer onto the heat press? (Thinking of the thickness of the item really) It’s polyester outer, inner and filling…. I’m a little worried about burning it or damaging the padding. My garment vinyl is suitable for polyester though.

    Thanks in advance.

    I’ve done many bomber jackets without a problem

    Just make sure it’s protected by a teflon sheet or two :lol1:

    We do loads of polyester tracksuits for football clubs no problem but use pads to raise the printed area only. Unwanted parts of the garment can crease and don’t tend to disappear even after washing.
