midwaste 4 Posted October 25, 2008 How do you guys load your vinyl on the rollers? I have just been sticking the rods through the center of the tube, allowing me to load 2 rolls at a time. However, I just saw this graphic on a site that shows the same two-bar system and it has the vinyl sitting on top of the rollers. This would definitely save loading time.. http://www.heatpressvinyl.com/documents/52.html About 3/4 down the page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted October 25, 2008 I always just sit the vinyl on top of the rolls. Unless you have end caps, when you put the rod through the rolls,it can sometimes jerk as it unrolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted October 25, 2008 I sit the rolls on top. I don't know about anyone else, but I can't remove the rods (once the stand was assembled). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted October 25, 2008 Just set mine on top of the two rolls. I used to put the bar through when I first got mine but it works better just setting it on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caleb 0 Posted November 6, 2008 Setting the vinyl roll on top is the proper way to be doing it. It does look like the bar should go through the center of the tube because they are both round and similar sizes, but you will get better results setting it on top.

C Lewis 6 Posted November 6, 2008 on top... I do however slide it through and use the end caps on longer runs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
