heat transfer vinyl question

[2001kx 0]

first off this forum is great!!! love it.

my question is i bought some hotmark 70 transfer vinyl to try with just a standard home iron ( no press)

now the problem i have it that it looks like it is on good when done but after just a few washes it doesnt look so good and starts to peel / crack.

is this bad vinyl? ( hotmark 70 ) or is the iron just not good enough.

whats the best to use on standard t-shirts - 100% cotton & blend

i want something that will hold up to multiple washes / dries

It's because you're using an iron.  You need a heatpress.  As for vinyl, order some Siser Easyweed that US Cutter sells or multicut from www.jotopaper.com

i figured so but wanted to make sure before i make the plunge into a heat press.

yes it was my first new bike

i have had alot of new bikes since then but the 01 kx 250 was my first new one.

i have a 04 CR 125 (still has the original tires on it) and a 03 rm125 as well.

bought them back when i was racing but quit racing now..

just dont ride them much anymore but plan to start again...took a ride the other day and realize how much fun it was.

i usually just ride my 4x4 but the 2 stroke is a blast.

Hey ,

I agree , the 2-strokes are alot more fun . Firemalt is a motorcyclist also . He mainly did roadracing ( I did some of that also ) , but rode in the dirt also .

Anymore motorcyclists ?
