Troubleshooting
Vinyl is peeling off after washing.
Ensure that you are using enough pressure and that the adhesive has had time to fully bond. Double-check your temperature settings.
Design is difficult to weed.
Check your blade depth; glitter vinyl is thicker than standard vinyl and may require a slightly deeper cut setting.
Vinyl scorched or discolored.
Reduce the dwell time or the temperature of your heat source to prevent burning the glitter particles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Design: Create your design in your software and remember to 'mirror' or 'flip' the image horizontally before cutting.
Cutting: Place the vinyl shiny side down on your cutting mat. Use a standard blade setting, but perform a test cut to ensure the blade depth is sufficient for the glitter particles.
Application: Preheat your garment for 2–3 seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture. Place your weeded design face up on the fabric.
Heat: Apply your heat press or iron according to recommended time and temperature.
Peel: Allow the carrier sheet to cool before peeling it off to prevent lifting.
Care: Always turn garments inside out before washing. Wash at 40°C maximum and avoid using harsh bleach or professional dry cleaning.
