It’s important to make sure you don’t press your vinyl too long or it could ruin the adhesive backing. It’s also important to remember that stripflock, which is used as the bottom layer, is a cold peel. Wait a few minutes for the garment to cool and then peel off your carrier sheet. Line up each layer in the correct spot and don’t forget to protect the bottom layer with some multi-use paper. Continue this process until each layer is on your garment. To make sure everything is adhered properly once every layer is down, press the complete design for a full 10 seconds. This tutorial is demonstrated with a heat press, but a regular home iron can also be used. Expressions Vinyl gives inspired crafters the tools and resources to bring their visions to life.
