8 precautions for hot stamping:
1. Can any fabric be used as hot stamping fabric?
Answer: Except for some chemical fiber fabrics that are prohibited from high temperatures, most of them can be used. As long as you have creativity, you will not be bound to the circle of imitation. . It is not recommended for newcomers to hot stamping to use gauze and other materials, because the setting temperature requires high temperatures and is not easy to operate.
2. Why can’t your fabric be ironed into shape?
Answer: The fabric has not been sized. Only starched fabric can be shaped and used. There are many ways to sizing. Now , commonly used is to use white glue, resin, etc. mixed with water. The ratio is about 1:5, and you can adjust it according to the thickness of the fabric and the usage.
3. Why does your fabric not dye or fade?
Answer: Hot water dye is used . Hot water dye requires high temperature for coloring, and the dye must reach above 100 degrees Celsius. It is mainly used in mass production companies, and it is difficult to do it at home. Generally, paste cold water dyes are used for hot water dyeing, which is mixed with normal temperature water. .
(P.S subject to use From experience, I recommend Iida Miyuki’s imported dyes, which are concentrated dyes that are easier to adjust and color than powdered ones, with pure colors and less dosage)
What kind of ironing device will turn black after one or two uses?
< span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; box- sizing: border-box !important; overflow-wrap: break-word !important;">Answer: Because iron and oxygen react chemically at high temperatures to form black ferric oxide. Ferric tetroxide can be attached to the surface of iron to form an oxide film Prevent rust. If you don’t like it, you can wipe it with cotton cloth when there is still residual heat after use, which can extend the blackening time.
5. Why does the ironing device smell slightly burnt when it is opened?
Answer: The circuit of the hot flower device has a protective plastic skin, and the new protective skin There may be some burnt smell during the first preheating. It will basically disappear after the second time.
6. Will the ironing pad wear out?
Answer: The ironing pad is a consumable product and will inevitably produce damage after being used for a long time. If it wears out, you can wrap the ironing pad with a layer of cloth, and do not use only one place for long-term ironing.
7. Will the ironing handle wear out?
Answer: The ironing handle is heated when making flower pieces, long Prolonged heating will damage the iron. Generally, the power is plugged in for two to three minutes, and the power can be turned off after the trowel is heated. The residual heat is enough.
8. Why is iron hot? Trowels rust easily?
Answer: The trowel production is divided into Both iron and copper. Generally, when replacing the trowel, the hot trowel is placed on a wet towel. A chemical reaction occurs between iron, oxygen, and water to produce ferric oxide (a component of rust). Protect the trowel and try not to let it get wet.
P.S copper is more stable in nature. It will form an oxide film when heated and is not easily oxidized when exposed to water.

Of course, we have to go back to what Xiaoyi said, not all tool makers are craftsmen.
There are many things that can be substituted to achieve the same effect.
For example: you can use a hair curling iron as a hair iron, or you can use an electric iron as a hair iron .
