I finally get it off and do a final cure on another station with the flash cure unit. But now the inking platen cools and it is not sticky anymore. I have to re-spray and start over with the same issues. Should I just try to re-heat the inking platen w/o a shirt and see if it gets tacky again? I must be doing something wrong. I use to use a repositionable spray adhesive from an art supply store and it seemed better. It did not dry out as fast and not too hard to remove the shirts - never stuck to the shirt either. Maybe I need to go back to that??

perhaps the ulano brand that you're using is not suited on the way you work things out. im not that familiar with that brand, but since you mentioned you were good with your previous adhesive, why not getting back to it to save time troubleshooting your problem. =)
