- Check your patches before placement.
- Always check your heat press platen with a laser temperature gun to ensure accurate temps.
- Store your patches in a cool dry place.
- Lint roll your hats prior to placement.
- All tests are done using a Stahls Hotronix 360 IQ Hat press, your settings may vary for any other style hat press. For Patches upper and lower heat is recommended, which is why we use the 360 IQ.
