How to Apply YourIron On Decals
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 100% Cotton, 100% Polyester, or Cotton/Poly blend fabric, iron & board, parchment paper. Scissors & tweezers optional.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: If you pre-wash the fabric do NOT use fabric softener. Dry & iron if necessary. Set iron to hottest setting.
AFTER CARE: For best results we recommend washing your garment inside out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and no fabric softener. Hang ortumble dry on low heat. Iron as necessary, either inside out or with a thin towel parchment paper over top.
Your design will likely bepre-cut. If not, simply trim or cut apart pieces as needed.
Place a thin towel, piece of fabric, or parchment paper on top of the decal.
Pre-iron fabric. Arrange your decal on the fabric with the clear carrier sheet on top.
Firmly press the iron in small sections with even pressure. Hold for 10-15 seconds at a time. Let cool.
If applicable, repeat for each section of design. If you have additional colors or layers add them over top using the same steps.
Carefully peel back the clear sheet to check adhesion. If it does not remove easily, simply replace and continue pressing.
Tips & Tricks Be sure to iron fabric beforehand. This removes wrinkles and releases any moisture, which can affect adhesion. Take your time, especially on areas with tiny pieces. PRESS with the iron rather than using a back & forth motion. If the clear sheet does not remove easily, press again and try removing while still warm, or hot. If necessary, use tweezers to carefully scrape and release the design from the clear sheet onto the fabric. You may need to press longer than 10-15 seconds; your iron may not be heating up hot enough. You can also apply heavy duty tin foil to the bottom of your iron (while cool) then let it warm up to help encourage even heat through the iron plate. When the entire clear sheet has been removed, lay the protective sheet over top and iron once more. With proper application and care your iron-on should last indefinitely. However, if areas come loose you can cover with a thin towel, parchment paper, etc. and press again with your iron. Avoid excessive stretching. The decal is flexible, but too much pulling may cause it to pucker and pull away from fabric.
