Hi all,

As it's been a while, I can't find my tips on times, temps for mouse mats, coasters, plastics etc. does anyone have a list of this info they could share with me. also, any times for the mug machine, how long to pre-heat and how long to leave the mugs in there for, oh plus temp.

Sorry, I'm a re-newbee again :-)

Hi George

It varies from machine to machine I'm afraid.

I know on BMS website, they have a guide time and temp for each item, I work from that, and work it from there.

What works for one, doesn't necessarily work for another.

And good luck!

Hi Kaz,

thanks for the reply, I use the George Knight JP12 heat press. I had a list I worked from which was great, haven't dye-subed for a couple of years so I've forgotten almost everything :-) (old age)

Thanks again Kaz,

Regards from Sunny Cyprus

We are in the process of creating a single page that brings all the temp and times together. It's not complete yet, but the link will give you a starting point (note: this is being updated daily at present so the formating may not be perfect):

And don't forget NOT to flip your image when doing any glass products that the image is seen through the glass (like chopping boards).

You'd think that after the first time I would realise, but NO I'm up to 3 times now!

(I blame my ears! ............... this relates to my other post)
