    How big is the logo? Could you heat press them on the garment vinyl?

    Could you dye sub them if they’re
    A) small
    B) the parasol is a light colour

    We’ve done this before with a tent backdrop.

    Try hexis, their high tack has a really wet adhesive. Trouble is if it’s small it doesn’t weed well.
