So you're using your flash to cure the shirts right? Is it turned on? haha....

1 min is a very long time and would burn the hell of the shirt. If you're flashing the shirt, it's about 10 seconds, if your curing the shirt, its about 25-30 seconds. (2 inches above the shirt).

Grab yourself a laser thermometer to know your temperature. I believe the 1800 flash dryers reach up to 600 degrees F in the center.
