    Hi everyone,
    Just wondering if anybody has used goose juice coating for 100% cotton t-shirts??
    If so what did you think of it?
    Was going to buy some but thought it best to ask if anyone here had any feedback on it first?
    Thank you all for your help.
    :lol1:

    Not heard of that one Louise 🙁

    Have you tried the T Shirt forum?

    Sounds like it might be similar to "Pony Coat" Louise – sublimation coating for cotton clothing. We got a bottle of the stuff to trial months ago. You brush it onto the garment, leave to dry then press your dye sub design over the top. Crap would be an understatement in my opinion. The coating left a permanent stain on the material and the image faded after 1 wash. Plus it only works on light colour clothing I’d stick with dye sub or look at better alternatives for cotton apparel.

    Do you recommend anything i could use i am using lyson dye sublimation inks,sublimation paper and a heat press.I have to do a batch of 100% cotton baby bibs and don’t really want to do the iron on on them if at all possible.
    Maby i don’t have an option??

    There are a few different methods off the top of my head:

    Screen Print – probably not economic for you for short runs.
    Laser print
    WOW Magic Touch
    Kiss Cut (but really needs a dedicated printer and their own inks for best results)
    Light inkjet transfer paper

    If you’ve got a dye sub setup already could you not just supply your customer with sublimation bibs instead of cotton?

    You could possibly get someone to do the prints for you using Magic Touch TTC which transfers onto cotton no problem? cant imagine its a very big print for a bib so say 9 up on an A3? cost should be around 30-40p per piece. We don’t really get involved in the T shirt market so don’t carry a lot of stock of TTC but someone on here maybe able to help out?

    They supplied the bibs so i may offer the option of the iron on transfer paper or purchase sub bibs.
    Nothing else can really be done with the cotton bibs. 😉
