Here is where I buy it and the type I get

[@DylanTalksTone]

Im doing the same exact thing and they lift on the corners EVERY time. I’m
So frustrated

[@SodaCityBoards]

I began having a similar issue - I had to move my press time up to 90 seconds and haven’t had an issue since

[@matt75hooper]

What is the cure time for Leather Patches with Lonestar adhesive applied ? Thanks.......

[@SodaCityBoards]

Once it’s off the press and cooled down it’s good to go

[@jasonmckissick7397]

probably a very stupid question,but i just got my order in...does the white sheet get thrown away,or is that just used as like press paper? or is it the actual adhesive?

[@SodaCityBoards]

The white sheet peels off, just protective over the adhesive. Can throw it away

[@susiewinger9111]

You can really iron on the plastic?

[@SodaCityBoards]

Yes, the heat makes the plastic bendable, and the adhesive is top notch

[@henry3rdespinoza779]

What is that sheet called to cover hat when pressing. So hats don't burn

[@SodaCityBoards]

This is what I bought:

[@esentl]

so youve never had any issues with melting or warping the plastics at those temps.

[@SodaCityBoards]

Nope. I did speed and power tests and all and got the perfect settings

[@esentl]

@@SodaCityBoards talking more on the heat press side

[@SodaCityBoards]

@@esentl Oh! I did at first but it was cause i had too much pressure - when i let off some pressure on it its perfect!

[@LeonidasPsofemes]

well done, with your settings , was there clean up

[@SodaCityBoards]

I clean it with some dawn dish soap after engraving and cutting (missing from the video)
