instructions
Step 1. Get Your Heat Press Ready
Turn on your heat press. We recommend pressing all of our products at 385°F / 195°C. Be sure to lay a piece of protective paper on the bottom of the press.
Step 2. Prep Your Aluminum Insert
Remove any film that may be on the surface of the insert. Clean off the insert with a cleaning cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.
Step 3. Pair the Transfer with the Insert
Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place the white side of the insert face-down on the transfer and line it up. Take two pieces of heat tape and secure the aluminum insert to the transfer.
Step 4: Let’s Sublimate!
Place the transfer and insert into the heat press with the transfer on top. Lay another piece of protective paper on top of the insert. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature. Pressing times are below.
Hitch Cover Insert: 50 – 60 seconds
Step 5: Remove Insert from the Heat Press
Once the timer is done use heat-protective gloves to remove the insert from the press. Let cool.
Step 6: Assemble the Hitch Cover
Remove the cover for the adhesive strips.
Place the aluminum insert into the cover.
Enjoy your new hitch cover!
