T-shirt boards

[blinddog 99]

Hi guys, I have a sheet of tempered masonite here at work and I was gonna cut some of it into T-shirt boards. Anyone have the proper sizes handy? I'm at work so I can't measure T's.

Just wondering if someone had those dimensions handy, I could cut em up today. Thanks in advance!:dog:

Mine is cut for Med or a bit smaller, not sure if it will work for your size.:party-smiley-042: It messures 23" wide by 32" tall, the height will sork fine but you might want to go a few inches wider if you doing large or bigger. I also glue aluminium foil to each side to keep the heat on the tee if I heatset between or in process. Just something extra to think about.:)

Thanks Clinton, this is very helpful.......

Thats a fun question. I use the same board size for Large & up, boards are 24WX36T I use the same size baords for small and Med 19WX35T for the larger size shirts i just clip the extra behind. I dont like my shirts too stretched out so this works for me. I also have smaller boards for the kid sized shirts etc. if ya need em.

I also put a nice curve at the top.

I just run one size,, made from a 2'x 3' (24"x36")
sheet of plastic with a slight taper both edges to
the center top for the neck,, fits adult large fine !!!
Be sure to round the corners :partyalone:

Whit, thanks, I like the taper idea... Full Blast, thanks for the various sizes!

Do you guys use any spray adhesive or anything to hold the shirt in place? Or just bulldog clips....

[Clinton]

Nope no adhesive, if you heatset at all during painting you'll never get it off the board.;) Here's a pic of my board if you need more visualiztion.:)
