Instructions for removal of the old, worn-out/damaged lower pad:

- Make sure heat press is unplugged and cool to the touch.

- Start peeling off the lower pad wherever you can.

- When possible, use the Glue Scraper Tool to remove all pad material and existing glue.

- Scrape the platen until clean.

Instructions for replacement of the new, awesome lower pad*:

- Test fit the replacement pad to know exactly where it should be placed. Remove the pad and set aside.

- Open High-Temp Silicone Glue, squeeze a line of glue in an open-loop pattern all across platen.

- Use Notched Spreader Tool, 1/16" notch, to knock down the glue and spread evenly all over the platen.

- The goal here is to have evenly spread glue with a uniform thickness.

- Clean off the Notch Spreader Tool with paper towels and discard towels - but keep the tool.

- Align replacement pad and hand-press into place taking care to not move it out of position.

- Set your heat press to medium pressure and close the press.

- Some presses can stayed locked in the down position, while others cannot, use the pressure of the upper platen, if you can.

- Use rope or cable ties to help keep the upper platen locked down.

- The goal is to squeeze down the glue to an even FLAT layer, you do not want the glue to dry in an uneven manner, that is not a good result.

- Keep the heat press locked downward for at least one hour, more time if possible.

- Wipe off any excess glue that squeezes out.

- Allow the press to dry for 12 hours before placing it back into operation.
