Review on Transfer Vinyl Micar T Shirts Inches by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

You get what you pay for

I sell vinyl stickers and clothing so I know what I'm doing. Decided to try something for a good price and learned my lesson. I bought it in both black and white and after five different projects with each color I realized it wasn't me it was vinyl. Here are my criticisms: 1. The backing paper doesn't hold up to heat and when you apply heat it deforms the plastic film which in turn creases the fabric while the vinyl is heated so that it crinkles and sticks to the fabric or fabric folds. I have included photos showing that the fabric and vinyl in my project were permanently wrinkled due to the deformation of the transfer backing's plastic film during the application process. Terrible!2. Since the plastic transfer film deforms when heated I had to lower the temperature and this doesn't allow the vinyl to adhere properly to the fabric but oddly the vinyl still melts under the backing sheet. It's amazing how vinyl can melt and still not get hot enough to bond properly. Disappointment! 3. As mentioned above, the vinyl doesn't stick to the fabric properly and so it ends up in this weird melting state, doesn't stick to the fabric properly and ruins all my projects and all my attempts. i will return it
