Hi all,
I was asked if I could put a passage (about 4 sentences) onto the back of a flag that has been made by an organisation. They want two colour vinyl which is not a problem but the flag is about 6-8 foot wide! This and the flag is in two layers and the 'front' has some stitching and stuff on it so I can't press it flat but need to get the press 'between' the two layers so I can get a flat press.
I have been racking my brains of the best way to go about this as I need to make sure everything is lined up and straight before pressing etc.
The first thing I thought of was lots and lots of heat tape - but you only need one piece to slip and then it's a nightmare!
Then I thought, does garment vinyl apply with an iron - if so I could have the flag laid on the floor with something between the layers to give me a flat surface. I would then get all the words lined up and iron them on - once they have tacked I can then press them for the extra bond - the second layer is easier as this goes over the first layer giving an outline.
So, my question is - has anyone used an iron for garment vinyl? (I'm using Hotflex from MDP).
