Lightbulb Heat transfer over white thermaflex on dark shirts

Has anybody tried to first cut white Thermaflex or equivalent and apply to dark shirt and then use a light heat transfer and heat tranfer over it?

Simular to printing a white underbase with screen printing. I want to try it, but if somebody has tryed it and it doesnt work I wont waste my time or material.

Thanks

I haven't tried it, but I don't think the transfer would adhere very well to the thermoflex.

It also would seem like it would give it a very heavy hand, in which case, might as well use opaque transfer papers since it's made for dark shirts.

It would be intersting to see the results. Opaque transfers use a form of vinyl anyway. I think the biggest issue would be if the transfer will adhere to the vinyl and stay. My guess is no.
