Trade Secret? This was done 30 years ago fellas!
I know! whats old is new again.
Silicone soft sponge rubber(ie: used on heat transfer machines,etc.)
Not Cheap.
It resist heat in the 300+ degree range (good for flashing)
3/16"-1/4" common thickness works good under garment seams.
Buy small quanities from mcmaster-carr, large quanities t&f industries,etc.
10-30 duro
Good Luck!

Hooooeee, you weren't kidding that stuff ain't cheap. Probably very handy if you need to go over seams and what not and flash though.
I would imagine that $100 Rick Roth is asking for goes toward finding a solution to this that is cost effective? I'd be awfully let down to pay that to learn I need to shell out quite a bit more.
for $100 he'll send you a sample and tell you where to get it. He'll also explain the process and hold your hand over the phone if needed. The stuff is pretty cheap. I think I spent $70-$80 to do the whole press. . . In my book, spending $100 to save myself the time and headache of figuring out the pressures, speeds, thickness and any other detail is totally worth it. Rick said they spent a week doing the RnD for it. For that small amount I get the results from one of the best printers in the country! AND I know it will be right!

Sounds well worth it to avoid the hassle!
