What if my iron on transfer still doesn t stick.
Why won t my vinyl stick to transfer paper.
But occasionally i have a nightmare of why won t this heat transfer vinyl stick so i thought i would troubleshoot the reasons in case you ever get stuck in a nonstick vinyl situation.
And i about 149 999 998 of those projects work out fine.
So i keep gently lifting it by hand but keep running into the same problem over and over.
Also remember to peel off the transfer paper carefully with an even pressure and try to do it in one pull.
An good peel is key to a good transfer.
Starting and stopping can cause the transfer paper to stick or peel the letters with it if you re too slow.
You create a decal but only some of the letters stick onto the transfer tape while the rest are left behind on the backing paper.
You create a decal but when you go to pick it up with the transfer tape the vinyl refuses to release from the backing paper.
No matter what you were thinking when your vinyl was peeling we re here to tell you we ve been there.
So i have my entire image on the page i place the transfer paper or contact paper on the image and then i burnished the image boy did my popsickle stick finger hurt but as i start lifting the transfer paper off the image does not want to come with it.
This is actually why most of the time using a heat press is way better than using your trusty iron at home.
If you can t figure out why your heat transfer vinyl won t stick you ve landed in the right place.
I made my daughter this custom shirt on christmas eve.
