Very useful video man! Thanks
Fa sho man I hope it helps!
Great vid! Do you recommend a mask when curing the pre treat?
Hey dude sorry for the late response. I don't use a mask personally. If you are in an enclosed area and are doing it for extended periods of time it might not be a bad idea. But, I have never had any issues personally.
Can you tell me which model of wagner you are using ? my pretreat machine packed up and i need something until its fixed.
They are definitely good to have as a backup! This is the one I have here. I bought them from Wal-Mart. Here is a link,

Which wagner sprayer is that or does it not really matter which one? I noticed there were about 3-4 wagner sprayers that looked the same with different model numbers
This is the one I'm using here,

Hope that helps!
Where di you get the wood board from?
Yo man I had it from some shelving I took apart. You could go to any local wood shop and purchase some. Even home depot or lowes. Don't need anything fancy. I would recommend something with a smooth surface and then to sand the edges a bit to keep from catching on the shirts.
I heard if you pretreat t-shirt you need to wait from several hour up to twenty four hours to dry it. Do you usually wait?
Nah man you just heat press it and just make sure it's dry. As long as it's dry you are good to go. Only reason I can think that it would take a few hours is if you were hanging them up outside to dry. Which, I have done. But the print quality isn't as good. Even if you heat press it after hanging it up it still doesn't get as good of a print as if you heat press it right after spraying.
@@dtgboss-hu2ub Thanks for the advice, it helps a lot
Have you tried this on Crew or hoodie?
Hey apologies for the late response. Yeah it works for basically any garment type.
@@dtgboss-hu2ub great news! Thanks
Question what pretreat did you just used in this video ?
Wow sorry I rarely check on here anymore! This is the FireBird Universal pre-treat.
It's all good thanks for the reply
That is perfect for painting a fence or some crap. Invest in your business and produce the best. Just get a pretreatment machine!
I agree a pre-treat machine is the better way to go. But, if your pre-treat machine goes down, or you just flat out don't have the money for one at the time, then this is a good backup in the meantime.
Do you not mix your pre-treatment with water? I was told about 33% pre-treatment, 66% water.... Hmmmmm 🤷
To my knowledge it depends on what you buy and if it's a concentrated solution or not. For the Firebird Universal I only dilute for certain colors.
