    Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I just bought a cricut joy xtra & I'm very interested trying ur techniques on screen printing for my t-shirt. I love doing my own designs & quotes. Next video I need to look up is how to own my designs. Can't wait to see ur next project.

    Love this!! I am just finally getting into silkscreening at home (I used to be a silkscreen press operator) This ink really seems like a game changer.

      I'm sure you've done your share of underbases! I'm excited for you to try the Flex. I'd love to know what you think!

    Very cool! What temp is your heat gun set on and about how long do you dry before the 2nd coat?

      I usually have it on the hottest setting and move it constantly so I don't burn a spot. Timing really depends on how thick your ink printed. I keep touching it carefully until it feels dry.

    How much texture does the flex ink have? It looks great.

      When you layer it like I did in this video, feels a little like plastisol (but much smoother). The offset method with white ink is a little thicker.
