Hi TBerg

Nothing to add to this on a product side of things, all I ask is that whoever chooses the distributor in the UK chooses wisely. There are quite a few trade suppliers in the UK and some of them are not great. They give all the flannel but when it comes to it are utterly useless. Likewise there is at least one SUPPLIER who regularly steals customer designs and art and sells printed items on Amazon, but as he is importing blanks he is undercutting the original artist/printer.

Looks like an interesting product and as soon as I can think of a use in my particular field I will be ordering

I had similar sheets from spain. they were for t-shirts but i cant see the reason why wouldn't that work on hard items like wood.

I ran some quick tests today, and with a little surface prep, it appears that SubTHAT has good transfer and adhesion to both copper and brass (without the sandblasting of the surface that I indicated earlier). The surface prep is the same as for aluminum - wet sanding with 400 or 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper until the surface shines up nicely and water forms a sheet on the metal rather than beading up. This is essentially removing any oils and other contaminants from the surface to expose pristine metal.

The coating on both are susceptible to prolonged immersion in water - after a couple of hours of continuous contact, a tape peel will remove the coating where the tape is adhered. I may have a solution to increase water resistance: SubTHAT Prep Wipes contain an active ingredient that chemically bonds to some surfaces, including some metals. I'm in the process of testing this out and will follow up here with the results.

I'll start a new thread rather than tag on to this, just wanted to let everyone know I finally got around to testing the sheets Troy kindly sent me from America.

Will post the results so far on the new thread...................

Hi Paul, could you tell me, what the product name is and where in Spain you got it from, thanks.
