PEEL & STICK FABRIC APPLICATION FAQ'S

What is the temperature for applying the film? The temperature should be about 275 degrees Fahrenheit. For a hand iron the setting we used for testing was for "Permanent Press". If the plastic protective film for the pressure sensitive adhesive starts wrinkling then you have the heat source TO HOT! Obviously different irons may require different settings. Try some test pieces before you do a finished project. What fabrics can this be applied to? Any fabric that can take the heat for about 15-20 seconds. Cottons, and silk for sure and some blends. We still suggest you test a small piece of any fabric you are uncertain about. Why is the film only 9" wide? Many projects will be made using 8.5" x 11" card stock, paper, etc. This size will keep waste to a minimum. What if I want to use a larger piece of than the 9" width of the film? You can lay film pieces side by side to create a larger finished piece. The fabric does need to lay flat until it is totally cool. You may want to create a larger ironing surface on a table or piece of plywood. Is the film Archival? The heat adhesive side and the PSA side of the film are acid free. They are not PH neutral. What if I get an air bubble when applying the card stock, paper, etc. You can try and stick the air bubble carefully from either side with a pin. If you follow the instructions and the drawing and practice on some scrap pieces you should have very few if any problems. If there are more questions and answers you feel would benefit others feel free to mention them to us.
