Default Question on MultiCut vinyl

Evening all......

Question on MultiCut vinyl......do I preheat the garment b4 applying the vinyl design?
The instructions do not say to preheat the garment........
AND......do I use 350 degrees or 340 degrees with a GeoKnight press?

My first try with this stuff didn't work......sure would like it to...lol.

Yes pre-press the garment to get any moisture out. I use 350 but jberte on here uses 340 so I'd say either one will work.

I always prheat the garment first, I also always re press a few seconds with a teflon sheet after the mylar comes off. This helps assure for a good attachment
