Application of Heat Transfer Flex (MetaTex)
 

Reverse cut the film using a 45° blade. Once weeded, the product can be applied to the textile using a heat transfer press, applying pressure through the Polyester liner. Remove the liner immediately after pressing, when the film is still hot, and then press again for 2 seconds. Colours may overlaid. We recommend that you always perform a test on the textile first.
