what if you miss a bit of weeding

[smitch6]

as the title says if you miss a bit of weeding before you press it on a T etc.
can you weed it afterwards by pressing again to heat the vinyl back up?
or is that it live with it or bin it

I have done that once before in the past but now I always hold the image to the light and check everything before I press. There is release spray but I just kept mine for people to try on for size when ordering their shirts.

Steve, it really depends on how big the area is that you've missed and how quickly you've noticed.

I've missed a few A's (the triangle in the centre) in the past. I don't know how I missed them (two seperate t-shirts, two seperate designs). I (as John says) check and double check (normally) and after I pressed them I noticed the mistake - I put the heat press back down to heat the glue back up and pulled it off with a pair of tweezers.

You have to be quick though as the glue drys very quickly and you could end up ripping the material (it's that strong). This plus you may get a bit of residue left on the area where the vinyl (sorry Martin, Flex) was.

funny you say that Adam because it was an A i missed lol
it was just a mucking about test piece for my nephew he was doing some weeding and so was i and for some reason we both missed 1 of the A's lol

very very carfully, you can sometimes also use nailvarnish remover on a cotton bud - but it will attack anything it touches ie all the other vinyl

We purchased some of the remover liquid which is very good, but smells very like nail varnish remover! The most expensive nail varnish remover though!! We have only used it twice and once was when I incorrectly pressed onto a customers item (Hate the pressure that involves!!)

I use the remover stuff from MDP with some very fine artists paintbrushes. Yes it catches the vinyl round it but if you pull off the offending bit carefully then re=press it's usually as good as new.

...or you could (if its printable)...print the triangle part for the "A" into whatever colour the tshirt is and re-press it in place. Might be worth a try.

what colour is the tshirt?
