I talked to a rep from the manufacture the other day asking the same question and was told you can't press other materials on the metalics. They will bond together for a short period of time before coming apart.

I was making a text design which has a metalic outline around the text. I had to lay the standard material down first and then lay the metalic onto that.

That's the information I was told.

Mike

Raising the temp just causes problems, you have to make sure you are pre-pressing the shirt and follow the directions of your film, make sure if the film is cold peel that you don't rush the peeling and let it cool down otherwise you will have some problems,, unless the film is very old there is normally no reason for it to not stick.
