Don,

Call if I can help.

Mick,

Thank You for your generous offer. I'll take you up on it. I know you are extremely busy and didn't want to pester you, but since you offered....

The good news is.. After trying a half a dozen different heat and time settings this morning, I finally got a very nice Transfer onto Aluminum. I set the heat at 300 for three minutes. I waited until the substrate was just slightly warm and then removed the transfer.... And Success!!!

I do have a few questions I'd like to ask here on the Forum. First, could you post or email me a general settings guide for different materials? I printed one that Harvey did and it has been a big help, but I need all the help I can get. Also, would it be a good idea to get a Convection Oven and put my finished transfered jobs into the oven for awhile? I want to transfer photos to metal plates (brass, aluminum, etc.) and then attach the metal plates onto signs that I have either laser engraved or Sandblasted. Do you know if the VersaTrans Transfers will hold up outdoors if I apply a spray UV protectant like Frog Juice or Krylon UV-Resistant Clear, or Clear-Jet? And Finally, where to purchase a tape dispenser for the heat tape?

Thanks again Mick

When I got into a bind, I used Scotch brand 'Magic Transparent Tape'. Standard Scotch tape. On metal it works well. On acrylic it is perfect since the back of the acrylic does not really get hot.

On metal is sometimes is a little difficult to remove when the metal goes down to room temperature.

When you finally understand it completely... it changes.
