Pressing Instructions
Press at 290°F for 15 seconds with medium, even pressure. Allow the transfer to cool completely, then cold peel. Cover with a protective sheet and press again for 5 seconds at the same temperature and pressure.
These are starting settings. Verify garment heat tolerance and test the exact garment before production. Avoid seams, zippers, and uneven surfaces.
Garment Compatibility & Testing
Strong Bond uses a specialty adhesive for select coated and water-resistant garments. Stronger coatings may prevent adhesion. Compatibility is not guaranteed, and the transfer does not make a garment waterproof.
Test adhesion, wash durability, and heat sensitivity on the exact garment before production. An initial bond does not confirm wash durability. For testing, order our smallest 22 × 24 in gang sheet for $15.

When to choose Strong Bond
Choose specialty adhesive when a water-resistant finish makes standard DTF adhesion a challenge. For everyday, uncoated garments, standard DTF remains the starting point.
Safety vests
An option to evaluate for vests with challenging finishes. Test the fabric and heat tolerance, follow garment instructions, and keep decoration clear of reflective tape.
Workwear & outerwear
Consider Strong Bond for select coated work jackets and water-resistant outerwear. Heavy coatings can still prevent adhesion; test before committing a production order.
Illustrative decoration mockups. Transfers only; garments are not included.
