I just got my white lighters in the mail yesterday!

What is the temp you do on them and how long do you heat them for?

and is it light pressure ?  My first one didn't turn out so well so i want to know exactly what i should be doing

Thanks!

  • press_instruc.jpg
  • Make sure to print in reverse
  • Temperature: 400 F
  • Time: 120 seconds 
  • Pressure: Light to medium
  • Use heating pad for best results
  • Remove paper immediately 

I used parchment paper instead of spending $ on a heating pad it works just fine

If, like me, you're too cheap to buy a $50+ green silicon rubber pad to make $2 lighters, you can use a Silpat silicon baking pan liner - they're about $10 at most restaurant supply shops and fancy kitchen stores. I have seen them at Walmart, but not sure if they still stock them.

Look for the ones with a smooth surface, like for candy making, many of them have a textured/waffle surface. They aren't as flexible as the green mats, but they are a lot cheaper and will work.

I eventually broke down and bought a green mat when I started subbing 9x13 cake pan lids and I do like it better than a Silpat, but I didn't like the price...
