If ThermoFlex® Plus only partially adheres to the fabric it is usually because insufficient or uneven pressure was applied. If this happens, reposition the design, increase the pressure and repress.
Peel warm or cold. It is much easier to peel while still warm but for consistent results allow at least 10 seconds of cooling time before peeling. For greater durability, cover with a Teflon sheet and repress for 10 seconds.
Turn garment inside out before washing. Wash in warm to hot water. You can tumble dry ThermoFlex® Plus decorated garments on high heat without the transfer film sticking to itself.
ThermoFlex® Plus is very durable and if properly applied, will last for the life of the garment.
You can apply ThermoFlex® Plus to cotton, polyester, blends, Spandex, Lycra, wool and linen.
ThermoFlex® Plus will adhere to itself. You can build complex designs by applying ThermoFlex® Plus in multiple layers.
It uses a hot-melt adhesive that activates at a lower temperature than ThermoFlex® Plus.

Cover transferred image with Teflon sheet and reheat for 10 seconds.
If GlitterFlexII™ only partially adheres to the fabric it is usually because insufficient or uneven pressure was applied. If this happens, reposition the design and repress, but do not increase the time or temperature.
Wash inside-out, cold water, gentle cycle, tumble dry with low heat.
Apply to cotton, polyester, and blends. Will NOT adhere to nylon, dazzle cloth, shiny polyester or moisture-wicking materials.
Adheres to Cotton, Uncoated Polyester, Fabric Blends, Wool, Linen
No nylon. Be advised that dye migration has occurred with low energy dyes in polyester and poly-blend fabrics.
Please note: If material starts to separate from the carrier, smooth it back down before cutting.
Instructions for application to moisture-wicking materials: Damp a cloth with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol), then rub it into the area on the garment you want to apply your design. Allow it to dry and apply your material. This will allow better adhesion to the garment.
Instructions for application to dazzle cloth and shiny polyester: We highly recommend that you TEST prior to doing large runs. Coated polyester can routinely cause adhesion issues.

Specially designed to adhere to leather, vinyl and other low temperature substrates.
I found that pressure is very important in getting this stuff to stick really good. Years ago I was using a clam-shell model press that only had a knob adjuster for the pressure when I heard about the dollar bill test. Put a dollar bill half out of the press and close the top. If you can pull the dollar out then you don’t have enough pressure. Turn the knob until you can’t budge the dollar bill using all your might.
Proper cutting speed and down force are essential to the use of these products. When proper cutting speed and down force are used, they are very easy to weed and the designs will come out to best quality. It is very important to always perform a small test cut before beginning production as your blade could have dulled from the last time you used it and will not work with the same settings it did before.
Sometimes you need to apply Thermoflex Extra or Ref-Lite to nylon that’s been treated for waterproofing. Some of these treatments will make material partially adhere or not adhere at all. A really good way around this problem is to keep some rubbing alcohol handy. When you encounter this problem (or think you are going to) swab the area you will be applying the material to with alcohol, let it dry, and then do your application. The alcohol removes or weakens the treatment, allowing the adhesive to better bond with the garment.
