Hello all,

I've read many of your posts and watched badalou's videos on YouTube and cannot find an answer to this question yet.

I have a question about the blue grid, one step opaque paper, from newmilford. For any of you that are familiar with this transfer paper, do you notice a "plasticky" feel to the transfer after you've pressed it? I have washed my "practice shirt" 4 times now and the image looks great, no cracks, no bleeding, just a plastic feel.

I know that with the IronAll transfers, many of you recommend stretching it immediately after pressing. Is the opaque, one step similar? Should I stretch the shirt directly after pressing it to get a softer hand .

I am pressing the shirt at 350 degrees and at medium pressure. Wasn't sure if that had an effect on it either.

I also had a quick question about IronAll transfers. Has anyone tried pressing both sides of a t-shirt with an IronAll transfer? Does the 1st image "brown" or "burn"? I'm not planning on making many double sided shirts at this point, but was looking a for few tips before sacrificing my new IronAlls.

Thanks for any, and all, help,

Toaster
