Re: Looking for a heavy teflon sheet

Does anyone know where I can get a heavy, good quality Teflon sheet from? I used to have one when I bought my first Heat Press but I foolishly gave it away! Since then, all the teflon sheets I have had have not been the same. Very thin and flimsy and crease quickly. The one I had was from Target Transfers but they don't do them anymore. The last one I bought from them was thin & flimsy.

I have found The Magic Touch ones are the best quality and heaviest weight.

They had some very good ones in Aldi recently...only thing with them is they are not smooth, but have a slight texture to them. I've only used them a couple of times so far, but haven't noticed the texture affecting print.

Thanks for the replies. I use the teflon sheet when screen printing for curing inks. I get quite a heavy deposit of white ink on the teflon sheet which is why I want a heavy, good quality one. All the ones I have used have creased quickly (except for the very first one I had which I think was from Stahls) Guess, I will just have to keep trying them out! I also use greaseproof baking paper which is good but I go through a lot of it. Does anyone know where I can buy really large rolls of the stuff?
