1. Make sure all stones in the transfer are in place – if any are out of alignment, simply push them into place.
2. Peel the white film backing off the transfer.
3. Place the design, face forward, on the shirt. Be sure to check for centering and leveling of the design, in relation to the shirt. For lighter colors and white, place teflon sheet over the shirt to protect against any heat marks.
For thin or sheer garments, place a teflon sheet inside the shirt, under the design area, before pressing. This will avoid the possibility of the glue from the stones bleeding through the front of the shirt to the back. This can happen with thin garments and will result in the front and back of the shirt being stuck (glued) together. If that happens, just pull front and back apart while the shirt is hot.
4. Heat setting is 350 degrees F.
5. Medium pressure should be applied. Depending on the heat press itself, this would mean there should be some resistance when lowering the press, and locking it down on the shirt. If the press is coming down and locking without any resistance, it means there's not enough pressure.
6. Heat and pressure should be applied for 30 seconds.
7. When done, release the press and let the shirt cool down before peeling off the film. If any stones don't stick, check the back of the stone to make sure it has glue and re-press.
8. Though infrequent, replacement stones, if needed, can be positioned on the shirt while it's lying on the press. Just position the stone where needed, and re-press for about 20 seconds - that should take care of it.
