the real answer is, I just got tired of looking at !!! members and myself having only one star. I've had only one since june or so and went in and fixed it (so yes it is a perk of being an admin). And while at it, I figured, I'd make up for the lost time! And now all is right with the world again . . . (at least for the next few days)

Now that said, large areas of plastisol such as an underbased print on darks, may interfere with the adhesion process. You can adjust in your artwork by leaving these areas open (which also helps if you need precise placement). Trying this as an afterthought on an already printed shirt is asking fortrouble though. Might work but no gaurantees on the adhesion.
And use that teflon sheet!

Only a one color on dark shirt. Do you know who sells some of those that are pre designed? Crosses and stuff, it is for a church.

DK, just buy a B-Dazzler and B-Done with it!!

Um, check with Preston, he has a machine that he got for his wife's business.

mk162:
he posted about that a lot at first, and then it died down.  I was wondering if they used it much.

tonypep:
My guess is no. Stones and transfer paper are expensive and the process is time consuming. Yes you can set it and forget it but it takes quite a while to produce enough volume product to make appreciative $$. A little cash on the side? I'm sure but how much did the machine cost?

mk162:
I think those things are around $18k, I would have bought one used frankly.

There are kits to do them on vinyl cutters now...it's a great way to test the waters.
