Thermal Transfer Tape is commonly used when using sublimation techniques with thermal tape to attach tiles and mugs to glass or other smooth surfaces. However, if you intend to use your heat gun to apply the adhesive then it is best to use an alternative method. If you are using your heat gun to the thermal transfer tape, the first thing you need to do is to preheat your gun before applying any adhesive. When using a heat gun to apply thermal transfer tape to a piece of wood or other material, it is best to leave some extra adhesive on the bottom of the material as you will need to dip the piece of material into the adhesive while it is being heated.
While you are purchasing your heat gun, you should also purchase several extra pieces of thermal transfer tape. It is recommended that you buy a roll of about thirty inches or more in order to allow for an even application. The extra pieces of tape will allow you to cover larger areas. Another advantage to buying extra rolls is that it will give you plenty of project space to complete your work. You can purchase heat-pressed rolls that have already been printed with custom logos or artwork. These types of thermal transfer tapes are great for large advertising signs or billboards.
If you use heat tape to protect your investment such as a wooden or metal piece, you should be sure to use low heat glue that does not cause any damage to the item that it is protecting. Glue guns are typically used to glue heavy materials such as shelving brackets, but it is important to be careful when gluing something as fragile as thermal transfer tape. You should use a very low heat glue that is safe for use on a heat press or similar tool. When using a heat gun on something as fragile as thermal transfer tape, you should take extra precautions to ensure the tape does not break or get damaged.
Many companies use thermal transfer tape to make their logos and company names much more legible. Using a heat press to apply the heat-resistant tape requires you to use the right temperature settings. You should first consult the label on the product to determine what the right setting is. It is best to start out with around forty-five degrees, and then increase the temperature slowly as you go along. When starting out with the heat press, you should use only one color of heat transfer tape at a time. It is best to use only a small area of your logo or company name so that it is not overwhelming.
