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.
One-Step Two Color Application
Align foreground and background on garment. Heat seal together at 330° for 10 seconds with light pressure.

Optional Foreground Materials
When personalizing in two-color, Thermo-FILM® or Thermo-FLOCK® materials may be used as the foreground with Stahls’ Thermo-GRIP® as the background material. For easy two-color layout, Stahls’ Lite-Tack spray may be used.

Notes
** Important! Stahls’ Thermo-GRIP® requires a 48 hour cure period. While the garment may be worn immediately, do not wash within 48 hours of application.

Storage
Stahls’ Thermo-GRIP has an indefinite shelf life when stored at temperatures below 110°F. Keep away from direct heat, sunlight and humidity.

Removal
If an application error is made, Stahls’ Thermo-GRIP 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.
