Hey folks just wondered what settings you use for glitter garment vinyl, I am having problem with it fixing to my shirts.

I am pressing at 170 degrees for 20 secs and then waiting for it to cool before removing the carrier, but im finding that if i remove the carrier cold you really have to use some force to get it off and sometimes pulls some of the image....if try to remove whilst still hot or warm it tends to stick to the carrier and not the shirt!

Any ideas please?

IF its the Spectra brand garment material, this is copy/paste from their site.



1) PREHEAT - Preheat garment at a temperature of 302º F for 4 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.

2) APPLY - Apply SPECTRA™ MEGAtallic™ design to substrate for 10 - 15 seconds at a temperature of 302º F using MEDIUM pressure.

3) PEEL - After garment has completely cooled, remove mylar backing from SPECTRA™ MEGAtallic™ designs. PEEL COLD.

Hope that what you were looking for.

I hav been rubbing the design w/ a dry towel and then peeling away the mylar while it is still warm.
