  • help please having problems with grafItyp SA Flex T shirt?

    Posted by Adam Marsh on 6 October 2006 at 11:20

    Hi

    I know this topic has come up before about this material looking back at previous posts however i have a real problem with the time and heat settings on my heatpress, At the moment im pressing at 150 ish degrees for 10 seconds however this clearly isnt enough because after one wash it has started to peel, I have tried testing and found that applying 180 degrees and about 10 seconds is alot better. Just wondered if this sounds right or if anyone knows the manufactures spec for this?

    I have emailed GrafItyp however i havent get a reply as yet.

    Cheers

    Adam

    i have found it best not to peel too soon but before it gets cold

    if you peel when still red hot the glue is still very soft and you can end up pulling the flex off the tee shirt

    thats just my way
