what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub)
Hi all,
I read in another post about somebody having problems with their transfer moving slightly after heat pressing! I am sublimation printing and am having this very same problem!( Even going very careful when we lift the press, some ink still manages to move and spoil the t shirt)
I would just like to know what the adhesive spray is called that was mentioned in another post. Apparantly it can be sprayed onto the transfer? I'm not sure if they mean just around the edges of the transfer, or actually over the print??
I would really like to get some of this spray to try, so if any one also knows where I can order some from, I would appreciate it. (I am based in the UK!)

you LIGHTLY spray the entire print - i use a cardboard box as a 'spray booth' so i don't end up wearing it
Oh, thanks very much for that! At least now I know what its called, I can do a proper search. I'm sure I can get soembody to ship some to me! That also clears up the problem of where the spray actually goes! Wasn't sure if you sprayed on the ink that it wouldn't just ruin the colours of the print, but if it just holds it in place, it is just what I need
Re: what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub)
Hooray, I have placed an order from conde. They do ship to the UK!! Thanks for the tip Jan! I have also ordered some other imprintable items, as they seem a really good price. I just hope the shipping isn't going to be too costly!

I have been in the Dye Sublimation business now for a couple years, So I am still kind of a newbie =) But I can tell you what I use for tacking my transfers down.
I use good ol 3M Spray Mount (Artists Adhesive)
Its only $4-$5 a can and it works well for Mousepads, T-Shirts and any material item like that.
It does not work so well with ceramic and harder materials.

Jan is there anything to do when a piece of your vinyl comes up from the backing, for instance with lettering a couple of my letters pulled off in weeding so it was very hard to place them and keep them from moving out of line.Would the spray work for that also.
Re: what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub)
what material are you using brenda? does it have a 'tacky' surface on the backing? i use both thermoflex and multi-cut with the sticky backing and have never had a problem putting a letter back down if it jumps up while weeding... don't know if it's available in the uk, but try ::: Welcome to Joto Paper ::: they show US and International pricing. i've never tried tacking a letter back down (never needed to) but i do seem to recall somebody on another forum several years ago who tried something similar with decent results. i'd try it on a scrap piece first tho!
Re: what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub)
Jan I've got the spectracut II I took your advice and went to JOTO but I didn't see where you could order from the site so I've sent them an email.Could you give insight on how to order from them.
By chance would you know where I could get some transfers with wrecker trucks and rollbacks on them.I've search the web and called a few places but no luck.Thanks for everything it's very nice of you to take the time with those still in the learning process.

Thanks for that Carl. I may have to try something else as the shipping from conde is going to cost triple the amount my products are going to cost me, so I have asked them to let me know the cheapest option!!

i just call them.....their toll-free number is 800-565-5686 - they don't have web ordering which is a bit of a pain coz i have to think too hard about the time difference but it's well worth it!
sorry, i've never bought commercial transfers - i don't have a retail shop - all of my stuff is corporate/schools/special order or just my own stuff for fun
have you tried ace transfer? not sure of the web addy but can find it if you need it - bob's a member of another forum i'm on and has always been very helpful.
Re: what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub)
I just ordered some too from Conde, Pro-Spray. They were out of stock so they gave me a complimentary thing of heat tape. :-/ but they will ship it out when it comes in.
Re: what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub)
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING I'll try Ace.

Nope I just tack it....
Such as a mousepad..I lay the mouspad down and look at the border make sure its center...I pull one side up and spray 2 quick sprays with a motion. Then I spin the mousepad around and repeat on the other side.
Press down on it a little with your hand...and grab and flip. It doenst move a bit.
I have done probably 300+ mousepads this way with perfect results.

Re: what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub)
For everyone wanting that "special" spray glue, any Walmart or craft store has it. I use different kinds. One is put out by 3M. I think it's called Super 777. DO NOT SPRAY HEAVY! All it takes is just a little mist. When doing a mousepad, I spray away from the pad and quickly fan the pan thru the mist. With any of the spray glue (or paint) after using, make sure you turn the can upside down and spray until it's just air. The glue will dry up the nozzle and make it useless.
This is a discussion about what is the adhesive (glue spray) called for holding you're transfers in place?(sub) that was posted in the Dye Sublimation section of the forums.
