Weeding made easier
« on: February 17, 2017, 01:34:11 PM »
A little bit ago there was some chatter about holding the vinyl heat seal sheet while trying to weed the image.
Got a wild idea this week that involved my manual press.
I simply stuck the vinyl heat seal carrier sheet to my press pallet just like a tee shirt.
It worked the nuts and held the carrier sheet like glue,well it kinda is glue????????
We use water based adhesive and the sheet peeled up nicely when done.
Going to make a dedicated board with the water based adhesive , we use Tekbond, for future jobs.
Only drawback is it can be a pain to get the weeded elements off the board if they get stuck to it   but it sure did speed up the process and there was no gunk on the carrier sheet to goof up the heat press.

anybody else have Elvis in their wedding? It took a while to talk my wife into it, but how could you do Vegas without Elvis???

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

They are all easy hell you can get one for just about $40.00 anywhere.
It is the un-wedding that will kill ya. Kinda like the Mothers And Fathers Italian Association....THERE IS NO EASY WAY OUT
