andygeekboy 62 Posted November 2, 2016 Tried this for the first time tonight. It was a dog to weed, the backing isn't sticky so if anything pulls off a bit you're done Also 305 degrees, medium pressure for 15 seconds didn't get it to stick, had to redo it a couple of times. Has anyone else had these issues? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andygeekboy 62 Posted November 2, 2016 I'll take a pic later if I remember, it's really just one or maybe two letters that peeled off with backing. Now the tshirt is ruined I'll use it as a test piece and try a few different settings The majority that did stick does have a nice look and feel to it, I will say that.

mb20music 760 Posted November 2, 2016 Did you preheat the shirt first? use enough pressure? did you peel "cold"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andygeekboy 62 Posted November 2, 2016 I'm sure I read last night hot or cold peel! Guess we can chalk this up to a RTFM error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveCreations 13 Posted November 3, 2016 I've never tried the Easyweed Feather. But rather curious why there is no adhesive to help with weeding. That doesn't even sound reasonable. I tried looking up the details and can't find anything. If that is true (no adhesive)... they should reveal that! Cause that alone would convince me to never mess with it. You NEED that adhesive to do details! As for the setttings, I just read the requirements on uscutters.com Easyweed Feather page: Application Cut Mirror image using 45° or 60° blade. Weed material. Temp: 310° F/155° C. Preheat garment for 2-3 seconds. Press with Medium Pressure for 15 seconds. Peel cold. I think you definitely messed up peeling it hot. I would imagine the chemicals didn't get to complete, so that is why they say peel it cold. I am not an expert and just learning myself. But I do try to follow their suggestions. Sorry for your bad experience. But thanks for sharing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for your bad experience. But thanks for sharing... Yup it was my own fault, I'll report back with my next effort. The part that did 'stick' came out great, it has a look and feel very similar to screenprint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
