flock and flex multilayering

[Paul]

Hi! I done some multilayering in the past with flex but i wonder if i can multilayer flock on flex (not flex on flock :rolleyes: ) ?? I cant see any reason why it would not stick but i preffer to ask first before i ruin my last hoodie it seating here for months now so ithought i have a go and treat myself with some new designe

so please ppl, any tips, do's or dont's??

I've used flock and flex on a few designs Paul but I've always done my designs so the flock goes onto the material and not onto other parts of flex - don't know why but if I can I tend to avoid multi-layering if possible so it's not as thick (although I have done it in the past)

An example of avoiding the multi-layering is below:

so... here it is my 1st atempt to 5 layer designe I messed it up a bit but still ok for wearing at the gig

5 layer design Paul?

There's only 3 colours Red, White & Blue (not including the t-shirt as this is black) so do you mean 3 layer design using the black of the t-shirt for the letters??

[Paul]

1-white,2-red,3-blue, 4white again letters shade ,5-black letters.

letters are blac layer of flex
this is actulay not real layers and first 3 i did "your" way. then last 2 full layers :rolleyes:


BTW! this is vinyl from YOULO! its fantastic for this kind ogf job! weeding is pure pleasure now as you dont need to use force pe weed backing should be little sticky tho for easy layering but you cant hae everything

[Paul]

ok now the other way round any one mixed flock with flex but when flex was on top of the flock? do that work???

[AdamB]

Paul - I just looked at the Yolo garment vinyl and I was just about to order some metalic gold and silver ................. then I noticed 'hand wash' only?

Reference putting flex on top of flock ................. I don't think it would work. It may stick but I don't think it would look nice and be very durable without a close surface to stick to.

When I first started doing vinyl I did a fleece with vinyl - although it stuck to it there was a lot of play as the fibres moved behind the vinyl, I never washed the fleece and ended up binning it!
