well... The directions say to set the press @ 350 (177 celc) and to hot peel. I tried many, many times and when I peel it, I can only get a very small portion to stick. I have tried uping and lowering the temp and time but it just doesn't seem to want to work.

But I have some easy weed that works just fine...
so once again I am stuck...ugh
personally, i try the vidoflex and didn't like it neither did my customer. we had to let it cool for about a minute before we could release it. and then we had to be very careful. we use thermoflex xtra with no problems.
I'm using videoflex right now for an order. Its 302F for 4 secs pre-press, then apply vinyl and press 10-15 secs. I use 15, medium pressure and you must cold peel. I think your directions are wrong. Mine came from coastal-my supplier. I've never had any problem with this product or easyweed. Videoflex has a thicker hand. Oh! also press again for 10-15 secs after the peel with teflon sheet over design-this makes for a softer hand. It peels and weeds like a dream.

well the batch we got was terrible to weed, it was just awful.
mmm. sounds like you won't be using that again. I've never had a single problem with it but I've only tried a few types of vinyl: Videoflex, spectra cut II(NIGHTMARE!!!) and easyweed. I like the easyweed better for the hand and hot peel. Did those temp/ settings work better for you?
