Application Instructions: 1) Preheat Bottom Pad - Before application, Stahls’ Hotronix suggests lowering the top platen for 60 seconds. This helps the adhesive to melt properly during application. 2) Preheat Garment - Place garment on bottom pad and press for 5-10 seconds to remove moisture and chemical treatment from lettering area on garment. 3) Layout Lettering - Place adhesive side down on garment (the milky, matte finish is the adhesive side). use Stahls’ Lite-Tack or Thermo-Tape for easy placement. 4) Cover Lettering - Use a Teflon cover sheet for a screenprinted finish. Glossy or matte cover sheets are also available from Stahls’. 5) Heat Apply - Heat apply at 330°F for 6-8 seconds using light pressure. (Note: This is based on Stahls’ Hotronix and Hot One heat presses. Settings on other heat presses may vary.) 6) Rub & Cool Garment - Rub cover sheet with a heat eraser. To prevent letters from sticking together, allow garment to cool flat on the platen. |

Temperature Settings: Thermo-FILM can be applied with your heat seal machine set at any temperature between 300° and 375° (150°-190°C) by varying the dwell time from 2-10 seconds. For best results set at approximately 330°F for 6-8 seconds, depending on the color and texture of the fabric. Reduce dwell time for dark colors or heavy textures. Always apply with light pressure. Keep your machine set at the most versatile temperature for different types of lettering materials and transfers you may apply. One-step Two Color Application: Two colors can be applied by aligning the foreground and background onto the garment and heat sealing them together. Add 1-2 seconds for heat to penetrate the increased thickness. To avoid letters from shifting, use Stahls’ Lite-Tack™ spray during layout. |

Application Tips & Tricks: 1. If Thermo-Tape is used during application, tack lettering for 1-2 seconds only. Remove the tape carefully and reseal for the proper amount of time. 2. To prevent the garment color from bleeding through the Thermo-FILM, reduce the time, temperature and/or pressure setting of your heat press. 3. Thermo-FILM can be applied over garment and cap seams. 4. Permanent, correctly applied Thermo-FILM will take on the same texture as the garment. It may be necessary to reseal at 2 second intervals to achieve this look. 5. Be careful aligning symmetrical-like letters and numbers such as A, E, H, T, 1, 8 and 0. Make sure the shiny side is up (solid color) with the adhesive or milky side down. Application on Sublimated Soccer and Hockey Jerseys 1. Do NOT preheat the garmen. 2. Apply Thermo-FILM at the lowest possible temperature—310° or 320° for 10 seconds. 3. Use a disposable cover sheet; such as Kraft paper. 4. If you use a Teflon cover sheet, you will have to remove any sublimation residue with Stahls’ Solvent between applications. Removal If an application error is made, Stahls’ Thermo-FILM can be removed by applying Stahls’ Solvent to the reverse side of the fabric behind the lettering. Saturate the area thoroughly and wait 20 seconds. By gently tugging the garment, the letters will pop off. Picking at the Thermo-FILM will make removal more difficult. |

CARE INSTRUCTIONS ** Machine wash using mild detergent. ** Dry on normal setting on household machines. ** DO NOT iron directly on lettering. ** Thermo Film can be dry cleaned. |
