Choosing UltraWeed

UltraWeed is a strong everyday choice when production speed, easy weeding, a soft matte finish and lower application temperatures are priorities. It is especially useful for decorators who work across cotton, polyester, blends and stretch fabrics rather than stocking a different standard HTV for every common garment.

For specialized needs such as high-visibility reflective graphics, dimensional puff effects, glitter, flock, dye-blocking or unusually demanding stretch applications, select the Stahls' material engineered specifically for that requirement.

Cutting & Heat-Press Guidance

Mirror the artwork before cutting, cut through the heat-transfer film while leaving the carrier intact, weed away the excess material, and position the design carrier-side up on the garment. Always perform a test cut before production. Stahls' recommends maintaining line thickness of at least 1/16 inch for lettering and logos for optimal cutting and weeding.

For standard application, press for 12 seconds at the temperature appropriate for the garment, using medium pressure, then peel hot. When layering, follow Stahls' current multi-layer application procedure rather than giving every layer a full press.

Care & Storage

Machine wash decorated garments inside out with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or dry clean. Dry using a normal household dryer setting. Store unused material in a cool, dry environment away from direct heat, sunlight and humidity.
