datoshway 0 Posted March 30, 2012 I bought this heat press a few weeks ago http://www.uscutter.com/Large-15-x-23-Clamshell-Heat-Press-FLHP460 So far pretty happy with it, but question. I have been using Siser Easy Weed, and having a hard time keeping the material stuck down. I noticed this machine is in Cel Temp, Easy Weed calls for 150c at 15 seconds. However at that temp and time, my matierial is no where close to being done. I have to set it to 300c and leave it in for a good 4 or 5 min to get things to stay on. What gives??

Jay2703 704 Posted March 30, 2012 Increase the pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mb20music 760 Posted March 30, 2012 Yes pressure is just as important as temperature if not more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted March 31, 2012 yes something is wrong, easy weed is 315 degrees for 15 seconds and I have done hundreds of shirts with it no problems. Take a piece of paper and place one in each corner close the press you should not be able to pull them out without a lot of pressure. The other issue could be your press temp is off harbor freight or home depot sells a cheap inferred gun that will read the temp around the press and see if you have any cold spots...

markvvq 14 Posted March 31, 2012 I had the same problem. Even though my press says C it is really F. Use a meat thermometer and check it. Or run it to 300 and try it on a shirt you don't care about Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datoshway 0 Posted April 5, 2012 Ok so it's verified, I used a thermometer, these machines have a c printed on the screen but obviously must have been converted to F. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
