First you need all of the equipment to screen print. Each color will require a separate screen. You will need the transfer paper for plastisol ink, either hot or cold peel. You will also need either a flash dryer or a conveyor dryer. Your ink will require gel curing (tacky but not wet) usually 10-12 seconds with a flash dryer at 3 inches above paper.

Here is a step by step tutorial on transfer printing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t9uSV1tmNE[/media]

In case that also does not show up, go to youtube and search on 3t9uSV1tmNE

The link was there. I have no idea where it vanished to. Thanks Joe. I've been having computer issues all day. I thought it was just me.

Secret.

Actually, I clicked on the 'Reply With Quote' link of your post. It puts your entire message in quotes and the link shows up there.

Learned that trick a few years ago. Posting youtube links has always been hit or miss on this forum. Software bug somewhere.

Aww, darn I was going to ask you for the winning lottery numbers!

I hate computer glitches. I have a friend on facebook that will make a comment, I answer it, and then she deletes her comments. Makes me look like I'm carrying on a whole conversation by myself.

Anyhow thanks again for reposting that link for me.

She didn't forget. There is a bug in the forum software that for some reason doesn't post the links unless quoted. See above.

I only read the first 2 post. It's not only YouTube but other links do this also from time to time.
