Default Vinyl on Polyester- Instant Shelter

Has anyone had any luck at using a t-shirt press to stick vinyl on an instant shelter? What temp, time, and what type of vinyl would you recommend?

I have done this with good success.
-It is easier if the fabric is removable.
-Use "grip" vinyl (the thicker stuff) and follow manufacturer's instructions as far as time/temp.
If your graphics are bigger than the heat press, there will be some overlaps between pressings and the thicker vinyl seems to hold up to this better.

Its easier than it seems like it would be.
