What?
Dipping the shirts in water?
How can that really work out in a retail situation? All the extra time and labor for dipping and drying. Whew... no thanks.
I am glad that you were able to save those shirts, but, there has to be another way.
My first thought when I read your post was that probably the shirts sat too long. What possibly happened was the polymer has totally reset/cured, and you now have added the shirt to the paper, incorporating both pieces into one. That was my first thought.
Before I read that you immerged the shirt into water, my first instinct was to suggest you simply re-hit the shirt with heat again, warm the polymer so it will seperate.
In tests and experiments for cold peel, this was the best method shown with *cold peel* to reduce cracking that has shown up in wash tests -- to reheat them before peeling. Here is the thread on how to cold peel and not getting cracking in the wash. Cracking in the wash was reported again and again by various members experimenting with the cold peels. Rhonda/Queerrep finally cracked it with unmitigated success that no one else had:
JPSS Cold Peel :: Revisited (with photos)
I understand two folks in this thread are having trouble peeling
JPSS, but there is usually a solution that doesn't require dipping the shirts in water before selling them. While it may have worked, what are the benefits to incorporating this into the standard process when selling retail? None as far as I can see. If there is a way to help you guys get out of that situation, and into either a hot or cold peel that works, I'd rather try to help you both with that, if you are interested in it. There are alot of experienced
JPSS users in this thread already, if you don't want to stay with press and dipping in water, just write back and we can try to get you on a *dry* peel path.
Time, temp and pressure, those are the main ingredients in a successful press. Usually if there is a problem peeling or transferring, it is one of these factors at work. There have been reports of the transfers not cleanly peeling, usually more pressure seems to aid in that, tho there are more options to try if it doesn't work.
All this said, there is *always* the possibility of a bad batch of paper hitting the market. That not only goes for
JPSS, but any paper. It is a manufactured product and when it comes to manufacturing, there is always room for a QC slip up. Happens to be best of almost any product, except maybe German engineered cars.
Just kidding, but that's what I hear!
Okay, if anyone wants some help getting their shirts out of the tub and having to drip dry before shipping, let us know. Have a great day.
