  • is there a vinyl that can be heated onto garments with iron?

    Hi
    Does anyone know if there is a vinyl available that can also be heated (iron) so that it will stick to fabric? Preferably dual purpose, but I suppose thats a tall order. I have used the conventional heat press ones, with an iron, but as its difficult to gauge temperature and pressure the results area bit patchy. I only need to use it occasionally so I don’t want the expense of a heat press.

    hi Louise.

    I have a feeling that the T’shirt film is the only stuff out there that can do the job properly. It ca be fiddley with an iron to be honest. What i would suggest to do as you only do a few at a time is to search on ebay for a cheap second hand heat press. You will be suprised on how much time it can save.

    Thanks for your help, I’ll definately phone Glynn and hopefully they could send me some samples.

    Oh, and I’m always on Ebay – trouble is I end up buying a new handbag!!!! (obviously to sample though!)
