Default Super Flex Vinyl help!

Hi

I have some super flex vinyl but am having problems when applying it to garment under heat.

What temperature do you recomend and for how many seconds?

I have been doing roughly 10 seconds and around 175 degress but for some reason when i peel the plastic away after heat, the transfer vinyl seems to be coming away aswell, sort of stretching.

What do you suggest?
I look forward to hearing fromyou,

Cheers

are you peeling it cold or hot? vinyl transfers should be peeled cold. you might want to try extending the time as well.
