Can anyone recomend a good blockout vinyl for use on sublimation dyed tops and polos'?
The one I am currently using from MDP works well and is great for softshell jackets and outerwear. The only problem is it feels way too stiff for use on sports tops.

you can use a low temp vinyl like 123 from the magic touch, application as low as 120c so no colour migration

The only thing that has concerned me with low temp vinyls is their durability. Do they perform as well as other vinyls after several washes? Low temp vinyl is not something I have ever used because I have never needed to, so I know very little about it.

Previous batches of MDP blockout (white) have been good, but the last few rolls have been much harder and less flexible.

Yeah, I think I will. I usually try new stuff out on my own workwear to get a true picture.
