This premium vinyl offers exceptional durability and a textured sparkle, making it perfect for custom t-shirts, bags, and fashion projects.

FAQs

Yes, the vinyl is compatible with both professional heat presses and standard home irons.

What fabrics can I apply this to?

It is suitable for 100% cotton, 100% polyester, and cotton/poly blends.

Does the glitter shed?

No, Siser Glitter HTV features a smooth surface texture that keeps the glitter encapsulated within the film, preventing shedding or mess.

How thick is the material?

The material is 350 microns thick, providing a durable and high-quality tactile feel.

Can I tumble dry the finished garment?

Yes, it is machine washable and can be tumble dried on a low heat setting.

Troubleshooting

Vinyl is peeling after washing

Ensure that the fabric was pre-washed to remove chemicals and that the iron/heat press reached the full required temperature and pressure during application.

Design is difficult to weed

Check your blade sharpness and ensure the cutting settings are configured for thicker glitter materials; a dull blade will struggle to cut through the 350-micron film.

Vinyl not sticking to fabric

Increase the dwell time of your heat press or apply firmer, consistent pressure with your iron, ensuring you are pressing on a hard, flat surface rather than an ironing board.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure your fabric is pre-washed and free of fabric softeners. When cutting, always perform a test cut with your cutting machine to ensure the blade depth is sufficient for the 350-micron thickness.

Application Steps:

  1. Cut the design in mirror image.
  2. Weed away the excess material.
  3. Preheat your garment to remove moisture.
  4. Place your design and apply heat using the appropriate settings.
  5. Peel the carrier sheet as recommended for your specific setup.

Care Instructions: Wait at least 24 hours after application before the first wash. Turn the garment inside out, machine wash at a maximum of 40°C, and avoid using harsh bleach or professional dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry for the longest lasting results.
