Step-by-Step Application Guide
- Cut the vinyl: Mirror your design before cutting, and use a glitter-compatible blade setting to cut the thicker material. Weed slowly and carefully.
- Prepare the garment: Place it on a heat-resistant flat surface. Pre-press for a few seconds to prepare the fabric for transfer.
- Apply heat: Use a heat press or iron, and press for the manufacturer’s recommended time.
- Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and remove backing sheet as appropriate. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.
Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and do not iron directly over the design.
