Hey guys today we are going to bring a graphic tee or I guess tank to life by using three different
colors and of course adding in that texture and dimension that will actually help the logo pop
off of the garment now we are going to use three colors today I’ve already cut and weeded
two of the colors that we're going to be using but I want to show you how easy it is to actually weed
this product next we'll take it to the heat press and apply and then we'll review the final outcome
stay tuned as we start weeding okay we have already gone and weeded our mint
and light blue of our textured Soft Foam but we do need to weed our um pink so one thing
that I want to go over with you guys is where you can actually find this material on our website
as you can see there are a variety of colors but you won't see an individual category
for our text or CAD-CUT® Textured Soft Foam where you will need to go is to our
CAD-CUT® Soft Foam and then you will see individual colors called textured pink which
is what I’m actually reading now this is the textured light blue that we'll be using as well
and the textured mint and of course other colors to my side now one thing that is great
about this textured style to this material is that it's giving you a texture and if you're kind of
curious you know what exactly does this texture look like it kind of looks like wood grain or if
you were needing anything to have a wood grain texture that is kind of what it can resemble
however depending on how the material is cut it actually looks like it can have a kind of swirly
lines in it I know that's a really weird way to describe it but depending on the shape you
kind of get a little bit of a different texture now the carrier is pretty tacky
let's see and there was a lot of surface area on this that did not have
any type of cup cut lines to it so okay now that this is completely finished um you know weeding
our main portions I’m going to go ahead and trim this down make sure we remove our test cut and
then we will go ahead and take all three pieces to the heat press and go ahead and get them heat
applied now for our garment today we are using a Bella Canvas muscle tee in the color charcoal now
I’ve already loaded it on to our platen and we are using the tagalong platen today on our Hotronix
autoclave now the reason why I love using this platen is not only can you tag at the same time if
you are doing any type of branding this is where the logo would go but I also love the fact that
I could keep the um shirt tag up here and this would help gauge where my center is this you know
eliminates having to use any type of measuring if you are very particular or any other type of tool
it kind of eliminates a couple of steps and it's just something that I find valuable as
a little tip and trick now like I said we are on the Hotronix Auto Clam and our pressure would be
at a medium today and that is going to be 45 but it could be 40 50 or a 4 5 now the other thing
that we are doing is we are going to heat apply 15 seconds per color now a lot of times we tack
down the logo versus um you know heat applying for the full time but in this case due to the product
we are going to heat apply for 15 seconds and warm peel before we add the next color now to make sure
I have everything lined up where I want it to be I am just going to add the colors back on there
so that looks pretty center in the garment and now I am just going to remove the top two layers
I will use my cover sheet and we have already pre-pressed the
garment so make sure before you do any type of heat applying that you pre-press
now once our auto clam is done counting down it will automatically open
we'll just make sure that this gets warm to the touch before we peel
all right you guys we have our finished design
and I think it turned out great especially something
coming from an abstract perspective hitting that graphic tea market right now and of course
bringing texture and added dimension into your everyday tank top now for a graphic tee this
is something that is really really fun without having to use an animal or words simply by using
shapes let us know if you have done anything like this with certain shapes or what's your favorite
shape to work with we have done a previous video with our CAD-CUT® adhesive and foil
using squares and it really creates another fun checkered print thanks for tuning in I’m
Kelly Walters and I hope you've enjoyed this creative session with me have a wonderful day
