Easy to weed and beautifully transferred to superhero capes!

I love this vinyl! Easy to sort out and transferred beautifully to the personalized capes I made for my daughter's superhero party! Everyone has commented on how professional the capes look and I am very happy with how they turned out! I'm new to Cricuting and was blown away by how easy this vinyl was to work with! I've only tried a few Cricut brand glitter vinyls so far and this silver Firefly vinyl was a lot easier to weed and wear. I used Cricut EasyPress2 to transfer the super logos and it literally took just a few seconds, which I wasn't expecting, since the Cricut vinyl I was working with took at least 10 seconds. Here are some tips: If you are planning to transfer this vinyl to superhero glitter capes: 1-Prepare the cape by only pressing the cape 180 for 3 seconds. The EasyPress2 instructions say to prep the vinyl and stock in 3 seconds, but this vinyl sticks together so quickly you won't be able to reposition it after 3 seconds. The cape/vinyl cools down within 10 seconds. 5 seconds down - 10 up, 5 down (15 seconds total with 2 10 second breaks). 5 more seconds before - then lay the cape flat to cool. **I figured out this strategy by almost melting some capes and ruining some of the logos, by removing the plastic cover. The last 2 clicks are important the vinyl and material must be prepared within 3 seconds but this vinyl sticks together so quickly you can't change its position after 3 seconds. The cape/vinyl cools down within 10 seconds. 5 seconds down - 10 up, 5 down (15 seconds total with 2 10 second breaks). 5 more seconds before - then lay the cape flat to cool. **I figured out this strategy by almost melting a few capes and ruining some of the logos by removing the plastic cover.
