To use HeatnBond iron-on vinyl, place the side of the HeatnBond facing up over your vinyl, then press down with a hot iron for eight seconds. Move the iron and repeat in eight-second intervals until the entire surface is covered.
Here's a breakdown for clarity:
- Preparation: Ensure your vinyl and fabric are clean and dry.
- Placement: Lay the HeatnBond vinyl over your material with the adhesive side down. The HeatnBond should be facing up.
- Ironing:
- Use a dry iron set to medium heat (no steam).
- Press the iron down firmly for approximately 8 seconds on one section.
- Lift and move the iron to the next section, overlapping slightly, and press again for 8 seconds.
- Continue this process until the entire HeatnBond surface has been ironed.
- Cooling and Peeling: Allow the HeatnBond and vinyl to cool completely. Then, carefully peel away the paper backing. Your vinyl is now bonded to the fabric.
Important Considerations:
- Always test a small scrap of fabric and vinyl first to ensure compatibility.
- Follow the specific instructions included with your HeatnBond product, as variations may exist.
- Use a pressing cloth to protect your iron and materials, especially when working with delicate fabrics or vinyl.
- Make sure you are ironing on a heat-resistant surface like an ironing board.
