Has anybody had any luck finding a foil supplier? Ryan's only had gold and silver. And and I'm not even sure if Crown Roll Leaf sells direct. I'm specifically looking for some hot pink foil, but haven't found any yet.
Their website is terrible. Is there anywhere I can see what colors they have and what price it is? Or do they only take phone orders sight unseen? I'd rather order from somewhere that's more user friendly if possible.
Just call the number on the website and they can send you out a sample brochure with all the colors on it

For an adhesive for the foil have your shirts screen printed with a clear ink base with a flash and a second pull. The foil will stick to where ever the ink is. Do not use fine type or have lines that get extremely small as there will not be enough ink to adhere the foil to. Do not press the foil twice on the shirt or it will give it a diffrent speckeled look than the others. If you mess up a small spot use a hand held iron to only cover the small section and you should be OK. You can use a good white ink and it will also stick to that something like wilflex white.
I bought the special foil adhesive for the screen printing. What size mesh would you recommend? 2 pulls on a 110 would be pretty thick. Do I want it on real thick?
We use the clear ink base instead of the foil adhesive. We have good results and no come back with the foil washing off. We used the 110 mesh and it needs to be tick to make sure that you are adherering all the foil.

Are you saying you've tried the foil adhesive and the clear ink base is better? Or just that you haven't had problems with the clear ink base?
tried both and clear ink base was cheaper and did the same and sometimes better job at adhering the foil. If you talk to Crown Roll Leaf techie he even recomended clear ink base
to us as we had 10,000 shirts to foil.

Thanks for the info. I've already purchased the foil adhesive, so I guess I'll go ahead and use it. But I'll remember that for next time.
Where to buy Gold Foil, and Foil adhesive?
