What makes Siser Easy Glow special?
Siser Easy Glow HTV is bright, in every sense of the word. It’s great for making your designs glow when it’s dark, which means it’s perfect for Halloween costumes, party costumes, or anything that calls for a glow-up! It also cuts well in most cutting machines and performs well on cotton, polyester, and blends.
How to Work with Siser Easy Glow Vinyl
1. Prepare your workspace
Start with ensuring to have all the necessary cutting tools, including a machine, weeding tool, heat press or iron, and a clean workspace. Good prep can save you hours of errors and lost time.
2. How to Cut
Ensure the cut settings on your machine suit your cutter. Set blade depths to only cut the vinyl layer but not the carrier sheet.
Do a dry run on your cut before having your final design cut in the material.
3. Weed Like a Pro
Weeding is easier with good lighting. A light box or bright desk lamp will allow you to see the cut lines better. Begin at the edges and remove the excess vinyl carefully.
4. Heat Application
Preheat your fabric for 2-3 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
Position the vinyl, shiny side up, on the fabric. Use medium pressure and a heat press at 305°F (150°C) for 10-15 seconds.
If using an iron, press firmly and move in small circles.
5. Let It Cool
Let the vinyl cool a little before removing the carrier sheet. Siser Easy Glow is a warm peel product, so waiting a few seconds gives the best results.
6. Charge for Maximum Glow
Expose the vinyl to a bright light source to “charge” it. The more light it absorbs, the brighter it will glow in the dark.
