Thank you for purchasing a HTV decal from imuniqueUK, I have included some instructions to assist. I started this craft using an household iron for all my heat transfers with very good results. As things progresses into a business I now use a dedicated Clam Heat Press.

Preparation

1. Pre-wash fabric base materials without fabric softener to pre-shrink and remove chemicals that may prohibit strong adhesion.
2. Recommended: To verify cut setting, perform a test cut using a small basic shape.
3. Recommended: To verify application setting, apply test cut in an inconspicuous area on the base material.
4. Find your pressing surface. If it’s firm, flat, and around waist high, you’re golden. Be sure to avoid flimsy ironing boards. Use your iron on a firm surface like a table or the floor.
5. Preheat base material.
6. Place the cut design on the base material with the shiny liner side up. Apply heat as instructed (see Note: below).
7. Flip the base material over and apply heat to the back of the design as instructed.
8. Use a cool peel to remove the liner.
Note: If using a HOUSEHOLD IRON, use the Cotton/Linen setting. Which is generally the highest temperature setting. Make sure the steam setting is OFF. Preheat the application area of your base material for 10-15 seconds. Place the weeded image, liner side up (shiny side up), onto the preheated material. Apply medium to firm pressure with the iron for 25-30 seconds. Flip the material over and apply medium to firm pressure with the iron to the back of the material for an additional 25-30 seconds. Use a cool peel to remove the liner.

Care

Wait 24 hours before washing the embellished item.
For longest life, wash and dry the embellished item inside-out.
If areas of Iron-On material lift after washing, simply follow the complete application instructions to reapply.
What is “Peel”?
“Peel” refers to removing the clear iron-on liner after applying iron-on material to your project surface.
Cool Peel is when you allow the liner to cool completely before removing it. As a result of removing liner while still hot or warm you may prevent your iron-on image from properly adhering to your material.

Warm Peel is when your remove the liner while still warm to the touch, but not hot. Letting it cool completely may prevent your iron-on image from properly adhering to your material.
