Default Second Press for Thermoflex Plus

Hey All,

Is it necessary to do a second press with teflon on top when pressing thermoflex plus?

Boy what a difference working with thermoflex compared to specracut II white... Peels like buther (the irish spelling of butter).

Thanks.

Murph

I just placed my 1st order for the multi cut that Jan so highly recommends and they say it too peels like butter "I"M SO EXCITED" it should arrive tomorrow.I also got 7 sheets of the tuffcut .I'll keep everyone posted on how well it works.After being so disappointed by spectra cut and spectra cut II it feels good to be excited again.

I find that it is recommended. I just completed a 64 shirt order for a family reunion with names on the back of each shirt. Although they all pretty much "peeled like butter"...they typically do....there were a few where a letter or two wanted to come up with the mylar. Doing a quick (10 sec or less) second press with a Teflon sheet always seems to do the trick.

I always second press thermoflex, I use a flex pad. I purchased the flex pad at Ace Transfer Company . This pad helps the vinyl get into the fibers of the shirt. I yhink it gives the vinyl a screened look and feel. Good luck. ..... JB

COED...exactly what is a flex pad?? I checked out the website but couldn't find it. Is it similar to a teflon pillow??

Thanks!

The flex pad is a rubberish material that is used in place of a teflon sheet. The pad has a slight texture tha helps the vinyl and plastisol transfers to appear more like screen printed. Good luck. ... JB

Did you get your Multicut?
I ordered on Wednesday. They told me it was shipping on Thursday, and I'm still waiting. I have a 50 shirt order that I really wanted to get done this past weekend, but wasn't able to.

Any idea how long it usually takes to get a shipment from Joto?

I live in Florida so it shipped from the Ohio warehouse and it took 3 days from the day I ordered.YOUR GOING LOVE IT.
If you have any question give them a call and ask for Tia, she is very friendly and helpful.

it depends on where you are pam - i'm in iowa and it's 2 days shipping from their ohio warehouse - but if it has to come to me from washington, it's more like 4 days.
