Default Re: New to Heat Transfers....Cracking vertically..HELP!

Ironall is notorious for the crumbles. Some people use a tool or brush to wipe it clean before they press it. Scissors might give you a better result.

A press is a lot better than an hand iron. There are some small 9x12 out there that are cheaper.

I think I tried NewMilfords light and wasn't crazy about it. Pressure/Time/Temp can all affect the outcome. When I first test Ironall it was horrible, then I adjusted my time and temp and now it's great. I did get a lot of cracking with other brands though.
