I have the ones that are already fitted.
The bottom sheet can just lay on the bottom platen without being fitted but I have seen some people sew elastic material to the corners to make them somewhat fitted. Not as good as the bought fitted ones but it still worked.
I have used my press many times with teflon on the upper platen. Even asked the Geo Knight company before doing it. They instructed me on how to complete it. No problems, just easier.

I have had a fitted teflon sheet on my top platen for about 4 years now. It still looks the same as the day I got it & the platen looks like new. Absolutely no problems. I can't see how this would harm the platen.
Hey guys, I have one little question about the fitted pad on the upper platen. The fitted pad looks a little thick, is it? I was wondering if it affected the temp at all when pressing, or is it completely a non-issue? Would a fitted on the top and a fitted on the bottom work? Thanks, fellas...

Kelly your are right again. A fitted teflon pad on top and bottom would be perfect. I already had the fitted on bottom. I switched it to top because it was easier to tape the large sheet I got to the bottom. The fitted teflon is probably 5mils thick. The sheet I put on bottom is probably 3 mils thick. You know that when you use teflon normally it's hotter than hades when you remove it. I don't think it reduces the temp any. My press fluctuates a few degrees so I tend to run it a few degrees higher than I need, just to be sure. I just got tired of lining up the teflon each time I used it. Have a good day Kelly.
Wow, you've gotta savor the day when a post starts off with those words. I don't hear that much at home, lol, usually the opposite! Thanks for the info, Chet, I really appreciate it. I have burned my digits on that teflon more than once removing it, and that is probably the most difficult part for me, where to put that large piece of teflon right after pressing so I can hot peel quickly. I haven't found a solution for that yet, since I have limited counter space. I think two fitted teflon pads might be the solution I seek. No messing with them, no accidently crunching them by bending them, no more of them slipping to the floor. Thanks for starting this whole thing with your first question in the other thread. I think you've made the light dawn on my dark little teflon storage troubles. I was lining them up okay, bc they are oversized, but handling and storing them is an issue here for us. If I remember, Lou said he is selling the teflon and it is 6 mls, so 5 ml should not be any problem at all. Did you say where you purchased yours from? Thanks again, Chet.
