Heat Transfer Vinyl On Mug Not Sticking

Sometimes this can cause issues with heat transfer vinyl sticking.

Heat transfer vinyl on mug not sticking.

This is the side we want to cut on make sure to always place the shiny side down onto your cutting mat. If easyweed is heat pressed too long or pressed at too high of heat it will not stick to the garment. If you need shirts that won t shrink purchase preshrunk shirts to prevent it. You create a decal but when you go to pick it up with the transfer tape the vinyl refuses to release from the backing paper.

On the other hand if easyweed is not pressed long enough or at too low of heat it will also not. It is the adhesive side but only sticks with heat. This is why you need the heat to apply so typically htv is only going to work with a material. Now if you are going to hand wash your mugs you can probably use either adhesive vinyl or heat transfer vinyl and any of the application methods mentioned.

The dull side is the actual vinyl. Your best option is to not pre wash garments. When too much pressing happens on a design it is almost as if the adhesive gets completely burned off. Now there is also the easypress mini that will work great for projects like these.

Htv or heat transfer vinyl is not intended to be used on ceramic glass mugs or any type of substrate other than something that will allow the htv to melt into it. You create a decal but only some of the letters stick onto the transfer tape while the rest are left behind on the backing paper. The shiny side is a clear plastic carrier sheet that holds the heat transfer vinyl in place. We don t want to cut on this side.
