NickiZ 5 Posted August 30, 2014 Need help please. Using white Flex 123 heat press vinyl. (This stuff can be used with a lower heat setting) Anyways, my problem is that I can't see my cut lines. Cigarette ashes seem to be the only thing I've found that lets me see the cutlines but that's a mess and smells. I've tried regular blackboard chalk, and carpenter's chalk. The problem with carpenter's chalk (besides it's permanent) is that when I brush it on some of my detail pops up. This HPV has minimal stickyness - so when you press the piece back down it won't stick because you've gotten chalk on it. Arrrrgghhhh! Any suggestions? I've also tried a lightbox but this stuff is thick. Think I'll stick with the easy weed but would really like to use up this stuff since I already have it.

NickiZ 5 Posted August 30, 2014 Never mind - I think I figured something out. For anyone else with the same predicament here's what I did. Cocoa! lol Used a pouncer and pounced on cocoa then gently wiped off with a kleenex. Left just enough cocoa in the cut lines for me to see to weed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vermonster 111 Posted August 31, 2014 Or... you could try popping it in the freezer for a minute or two. I've done this with regular calendared white vinyl that has a white backing. I've never tried it with HTV but I'd imagine it's the same concept Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
