We must always use Teflon Sheet to avoid that excessive heat in our sublimable vinyl.

Glitter White Heat Transfer Vinyl

Glitter White Heat Transfer Vinyl

350° - 360° Fahrenheit Degrees - 60 Seconds 175° - 180° Celsius Degrees - 60 Seconds ​
Tips and Tricks

Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl has the necessary composition to sublimate it, first we need to apply it on the garment and then sublimate it.

Pressure should be a little high because of its rough texture can intervene with the good contact of the sublimation paper with the Glitter HTV.
