Heat Set ????

[moose]

I plan to paint the front and back of a shirt. Do I want to paint and heat set one side totally before paint ing on the other? Or go ahead paint both sides then heat set? If I do one side at a time are there any precautions I need to follow to prevent damage to one or the other sides?

I use a heat gun for setting,,, but,,,
I usually do both sides then heat set
both while I'm using the heat gun !!!
You can do individually if you want tho !!!

Hey Moose, Do ya have an Heat Press??? Works great!!! I prefer that over a heat gun... Ya get an even heat distribution & I usually Heat Press 1 side at a time (Be sure garment is dry to the touch before pressing...Otherwise it'll bleed through to the other side) hope this helps... -HotAir-

Hi Tim,

You may want to put the shirt on a board to paint it so the paint doesn't go thru to the other side. That was one of the first mistakes I made when painting shirts! Just a suggestion.....
