Default 2 sided transfering

I just read a little about two sided tansfering, and thought the mouse pad was a great idea.

All my shirts and totes are two sided and up until now, I was thinking I could only use a cold peel transfer, but does the mouse pad protect the previously done side from getting too hot enabling me to use a hot peel?

I've been using Coastal's Jet Dark, most of my work is on black.

Also, what tools besides a ruler do I use to center images and how do you deside where to position images that are in the pocket area when there is no pocket? I imaging there is a "real" term for this area, but I don't know what it is.

Hey Beverly,
I learned that from Lou"babalou on the forums". The xlarge mouse pad does work in protecting the other side. I havent encountered any problems. As far as positioning I either use a t-shape ruler or eyeball it based on shirts that I have bought at retail. Also, babalou came up with a tool that is specific for tee positioning. Look for him and he has a link to his side that has that tool. Hope this helps.

If the mousepad doesn't work, you should use a teflon sheet.

That area is usually referred to as the "left chest".
