Apply heat: Set the correct temperature and pressure, and follow specific instructions for your vinyl type.

Peel the carrier sheet: Allow to cool slightly and peel warm or cold as instructed. Re-press with a cover sheet if needed for a strong finish.

Care instructions: wash garments inside-out, avoid high tumble dryer heat, and keep the surface protected during care.
