I appreciate that you showed a fail first, then explained the remedy.

[@SSActivewear1]

Thanks! We really want to help people overcome everyday problems they might experience on the press, so we like experimenting and trying to show what some of those issues look like. Glad you're enjoying the show and thanks for the feedback!

The second hat still has press marks

[@cynthiasmith6527]

What was your finial temp then for the sublimation?
I heard 30 seconds for the time, 1 for the pressure.
Thanks

Fantastic video the same thing happened to me on my first sublimation hat lol... Now I do transfers and vinyl

[@akbar11]

I know it’s been 7 months but how well does heat transferring vinyl work on foam truckers?

[@RVincents]

@akbar11 it works really nice because it can be applied with lower heat and far less time. Dtf is great too only 15 seconds at 310

[@lisahankins989]

What size platen is best for the foam trucker hats??

[@tylerkain2209]

Ultra Color Max is the best application on the foam trucker. Don't even play with sublimation.

[@LanceMcGrew]

Judging from all the cheap Temu hats in my trash - I have to agree

[@urjnlegend]

You mean a dtf transfer
