1. Using the press

Put a sheet of Teflon over the item to be heated. That way any boo boos won't end up sticking to your press. I use mine for curing screen printed tee shirts. I print flash, print flash, print and air dry them overnight in an air conditioned room. Next day I press them for 30 seconds at some temperature that I have forgotten (there's a wide range that works, wash test them) and fold them with the help of a folding template. Great for raising money for the community or candidate of your choice since the profit margin is high. Some times I just go have a beer or two at the local bar and give them away. I gave away a ton of Beto shirts.. man we nearly pulled that one off didn't we! Gotta keep trying. Have fun, stay safe.
