Default How to Flock ?????

Hi All,
I just got some great flock transfers from X-iT. I don't quite understand the instructions. The transfers are on one side and the other side is a clear plastic. The instructions say press at 375-385 for 6-10 sec. remove garment from heat press. Allow to cool. Peel transfer cold. Well my problem is - won't the clear plastic melt all over my press? Another thing is the transfer has a white flock on the plastic around the transfer. Won't the white stick to the shirt also? I know you guys are getting a good laugh from my questions but I am afraid to try it untill you guys help me. Thanks

Hey Terry, no the plastic will not melt its high temp, just use a teflon sheet on top or parchment paper,, as far as the flock is it around the outside edge of the transfer?

You will have to weed that off of the transfer or it will stick to the shirt..

Hope this helps

Weed just means to peel off the excess areas of transfer that are not part of the design.
