    Hi Gang,

    My lad wants me to sort his rugby team out with names on their shirts.

    I have never done this and wondered if it would be possible to apply with a household iron. Also which vinyl/supplier would you suggest?

    Thanks

    Iain

    Don’t go there with an iron Fred 😕

    Thousands of people with heat presses will be most disapointed.

    On the other hand, give it a go and let us know how it turns out. Could be interesting.

    I’ve always been told you had to do it using a heat press but you never know, maybe someone else on the boards will be able to be more help.

    Good Luck.

    Hi Iain

    check these 2 out for starters.

    http://www.thetransferpress.co.uk
    http://www.xpress.co.uk

    you can buy small amounts and it’s easy to apply.

    I’ve used an iron before and it worked ok. I covered the transfer with waxed paper so that it didn’t burn the garment. I use the waxed backing paper off some old vinyl.

    I’ve got a heat press now, and still use the backing sheets from old vinyl. Works a treat. Saves mony too !!

    Cheers,

    Cheryl 🙂

    You can also try Victory Designs …… the material weeds very well. Graphityp is another and they have a link on the homepage here.

    Applied with an iron, worked fine.

    Well that’s gotta be good news if you don’t already have a heat press.

    Go get the ironing big man. 😀
