Using Pearl Glitter Film with a Heat Press or Iron
- Cut the vinyl: Mirror your design before cutting, and use a glitter-compatible blade setting to cut the thicker material. Weed slowly and carefully.
- Prepare the garment: Lay it evenly with no creases. Pre-press for a few seconds to eliminate moisture and wrinkles.
- Apply heat: Use a heat press or iron, 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 do not iron directly over the design.
Tips for Selecting Your Vinyl
