Flock & Foil Information

You can either just paint the glue (adhesive) onto your material, or use your screen print from your screen printing to add the glue onto your material if you wish to use the same image again. This also means you will had an accurate and neat final outcome.
Once the glue is applied to your material, chose your flock and/or foil and stick onto the glue.
- Foil must go shiny (coloured) side up
- Flock must go fabric (coloured) side down
Once you have stuck your flock/foil onto the glue leave for around 20 minutes before putting under the hot plates. (You need a high heat to transfer the flock/foil onto your material)
After 20 minutes place your piece under the hot plates and with both hands pull the lever down until it clicks into place.
A timer will go off on the machine and when it starts to play a tune, with both hands pull the lever up. (Do NOT leave for too long once the tune has started, pull the lever up as soon as possible)
Take your piece of work off the hot plates. Leave it to cool for a couple of seconds and then carefully peel back the flock/foil to reveal your outcome.
