    Question vinyl heating question

    Hi All

    i am using this vinyl - https://www.signmakingandsupplies.co...lex-2075-p.asp - to put onto a polyester gym sack.

    i take it i just follow the vinyl instructions, 170C for 20 seconds, the bag won't melt?!

    i also have woven badges to press onto performance t-shirts and was told by the badge company '30 seconds on high' whatever high is again, the t-shirts won't melt?!

    i'm so paranoid right now!! football tops can withstand that heat for that time, so assuming they'll be okay... guess i'm just needing a bit of reassurance lmao

    I've pressed polyester drawstring bags with no problems other than making sure the PU leather-effect corner reinforcements don't come into contact with the hot parts of the press.

    .... and keep the cords away from the platen as well.
    You need to use a kids platen or a press pad inside the bag.

    The t-shirts will be ok - they are good to sublimate at 200c for 60 secs, so bunging a bit of vinyl onto them shouldn't hurt.
