I have been doing a variety of demos for the shop and encountered a 'few' problems on the way. Some are rectified and will be sorted with experience (with everything), but others still give me worries (I just want to be perfect!).
Anyway, can anyone help with .................
Hardboard Pacemats - tried a few, image didn't come through and was patchy so remembered the 'pre press post for moisture'. Tried this and it worked but the placemats seemed to have warped a little. Is this because of the 'type' they are, or is it not normal?
Carboard Jigsaws - image transfers brilliantly but the layers seem to peel apart after a few hours pressing and get a slight warp. Is this because they are 'cardboard' and not wood??
Worktop Chopping Board - pressed for the correct time and temp, but looking at the image from the font it seems like it has a white area dead centre like the image hasn't transfered. But looking at the back you can see the image has ............ ?
Misc - I saw a video on 'pimpashirt' and they use a teflon cushion type thingymebob to pad out areas and raise them for pressing away from zips etc .............. anyone know where I can get one from?
Many thanks guys,
Adam
