Default Pressing on Polyester/lycra
Does anyone here have any comments on heat pressing small logos on to (compression, technical) polyester with a little lycra? Would the press burn or melt the polyester?

Thanks

Hi there, I think it will melt the lycra before it melts the polyester.

What you need is Hot Peel ( 3-6 sec QUICK ) press plastisol transfers with Adhesive (aka GLUE). Anything with stretch like lycra or spandex you need GLUE.
