Glue Film and Foil Film

[Larry Bratton]

One way to find out...Stahls is good about sending samples or just purchase a small qty. Stahls can also tell you what the base material is for the adhesive. Try their online Chat.

I use the stahls film all the time, only i use my vinyl cutter to cut it.

Reason being you want to cut only the film, not the backing. You then weed out the parts you don't want applied to the shirt, and heat press on.

My experience with the Stahls film has been good. Anything I have ever got at a fabric store has not been professional, so be wary.

I suppose if you could cut only the Film, you could laser it.

Don't cut all the way through, as the backing is used to register the cut pieces on the garment.

Thanks Larry! I have been lurking for a while. So far tons of great info on Lasers!

If anyone needs any info on garment decoration, I run a screen-printing and embroidery shop and have gone through all of the trial and error over the last 8 years, and would love to share info!

Cheers,

Andrew.....did you watch the youtube Laserpro video? The key is the glue film.....no weeding would be required. If you specialize in garment decoration, I would think this process would really interest you.

Andrew,
Your spot on. Stahls is a professional company in garment decoration. You can count on the material you get from them as being good stuff. I am like you, I don't trust materials that come from retail stores very much.

I use the Stahls CadCut stuff once in awhile and they work quite well although I haven't used glue and foils. To me, this looks like a neat idea that's probably too time consuming to be profitable.
