 Re: shirt adhesive alternative
Do an online search for TexTac adhesive. It's a brush-on that you set up with your flash dryer or a heat gun. When it loses it's tack, wipe it down with a damp sponge to remove the lint, heat it up again, and you're back in business. I got a gallon at a show 2 years ago for $15 and I've still got a bunch left. Additionally, it doesn't get all over everything like that damn spray tack. I use platen tape and I haven't even replaced that for 8-9 months. When the TexTac can't be revived with a damp sponge, I just brush on more. My platens look pretty dirty, but underneath that tape they're like brand new. I'd change the tape more often, but I'm lazy.
There are other brands of brush on adhesives, too, but the TexTac works great. |
