No it would peel off. Using heat press vinyl is like hot gluing the vinyl to the shirt and if done right it should last the life of the garment.

I use Firstmark sold by signwarehouse. It is the least expensive Ive come accross and it works awsome. I have done probobly over 1000 names and numbers using this stuff. 16 buck for a 11 foot roll. This stuff works great on50/50 100% cotton and I even used it on UnderArmor shirts.

Sign Vinyl? No, this vinyl will not work. We sell material by the yard so if you don't want a lot of material this could be an option for you. Heat press vinyl comes a lot of colors and patterns these days. If you are in the sign business and you have a digital printer, we have material for that as well with many finishes like chrome, matte, glossy, cracked. There are tons of options in the world of heat transfer material. give us a call if you have any questions. 1-888-819-4421.

Good luck and don't forget to pre-press.

I think that's about as close to spam as I've seen while still pertaining to the subject of the OP...
