Not sure if this is as big a deal as it is to our shop, but we just found out that you can wash out 'burns' from the pretreat.

We use a gas dryer, and sometimes on the second pass the garment gets discoloured from the pretreat. I already had a replacement ordered for a green shirt that burned, and decided to throw it in the wash to see what happened.

Boom. Burn gone. I purposely burnt some test shirts of different colours and got the same result. So I guess if you're willing to do some laundry on the job, burns aren't really an issue.

Thought I'd share. We don't burn a ton of shirts, but it's frustrating when it happens.

Happens to me also. You may have to check temperature and curing time for each different textil you use.we use an electric dryer with air pulse and we adjust curing time according light or dark textil, about colors directly sometimes.better is to test each of them and setting time of your dryer. each textil receive an pretreatement before, for coton for example to make it soft, and marks of burn is due to the spray who give a right or wrong result about the heat.
we done also sometimes some washes on textil with burn marks and it can resolve the problem yes.

Yeah, it's nice to know that burns don't end up with us eating the cost of the shirts.

Like I said, though, I hardly ever burn them. We keep our dryer at the same temp unless I'm running blends through, and I just adjust the Spray % according to the colour of the shirt/material. Seems to work for 99% of jobs.
