kenimes 42 Posted June 27, 2008 Dark talc powder maybe? Put some in a sock, and pounce it over the cuts I saw someone suggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted June 27, 2008 I use a glass table with a light underneath.. seems to work great for lining things up and weeding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youdude 1 Posted June 27, 2008 all great advice guys....but I have a light table and have pounced it with chalk in a sock :'( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youdude 1 Posted June 27, 2008 does noone else have a problem seeing white thermoflex...so far, the only thing that seems to help a little, is lowering my desk light about 5 inches above it I know i'm complaining but there has to be a way that we haven't discovered yet.

kenimes 42 Posted June 27, 2008 Outsource your weeding jobs to the neighbor kids? j/k Maybe try posting this issue on http://www.t-shirtforums.com/ They have about 46,000 more members, and they all do shirts or otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benr98 40 Posted June 28, 2008 BannerJohn, once recommended the magnifying glass with light. I listened and picked up a real good one at Harbor Freight, and now there is NO problem weeding any color, well any color we've purchased! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest gracewriter Posted June 28, 2008 I guess thermoflex is something special. I use black plumb line chalk in a sock and never had this problem. Plumb line chalk comes in all kinds of cool colors these days. They had deep purple, hot pink, blue, green, white black, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nonabelle 5 Posted June 28, 2008 I HAVE DISCOVERED A COUPLE OF THINGS THIS MORNING ABOUT WHITE T SHIRT VINYL. FIVESTAR, RESTRAIN UR SELF. I HAVE CUT THREE DIFFERENT WHITE VINYLS THIS MORNING, SAME IMAGE, SAME SETTINGS, AND SAME LIGHTING. THERMOFLEX WAS THE HARDEST TO SEE, I TRIED THE MULTICUT AND IT DID OK, BUT THE SPECTRA ECO FILM GAVE US NO PROBLEMS AT ALL IN WEEDING OR VISION WISE. NOW, I KNOW I WANTED TO BE FAIR AND TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T JUST ME TRIPPING, SO I ASKED THREE OTHER PEOPLE TO WEED EACH ONE SEPARATELY, THEM NOT KNOWING WHY. TWO OF THEM NOTICED THE SAME AS FAR AS SEEING THE CUT LINES AND THEY ONLY WANTED TO WEED THE ECOFILM. THE LAST ONE WAS PISSED BECAUSE HE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO WEED SO THERE WAS COMMENT FROM HIM.LOL. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuttter 1 Posted June 30, 2008 White thermoflex is the worst, I use a light on the opposite side from where I am weeding from. Then I get very low to the thermoflex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
