i knew some punks who dumpster-scored a bunch of plastisol ink and made wicked shirts/patches by curing it in the oven, but the fumes almost killed their cat (not to mention their roommates), so be careful! sounds fun though....

Thanks everyone,
I was planning to use a standard handymans heatgun and discussed this with my supplier who told me to just use an iron with a layer of silicon coated paper between print and iron? I suspect this will smudge the print but will give it a go in the next week or two and let you all know.

Okay last night I printed a fairly simple white logo on a blue t-shirt with union inks brand plastisol (mixopake). It was the thickest ink I have ever used, but after a couple of tries came out nice.

To cure it I put a piece of silicon coated paper over it and ironed it. It did not smudge (although you probably don't want to slide the paper around on the print) and cured fairly easily. The first time I had the iron set on cotton not realizing that this was about 350 degrees which burnt the ink (it went a pinkish colour). After this I realized that the wool setting was about right at about 280 degrees so I set the iron to a little above this to get the required 300 degrees and it worked great. I've washed it and had it in the drier and it's fine.

oh, and also, you want to go over about three times, quicker each time. hold it about 1 inch from the shirt. :) and i concur on the mask bit. safety first. highly toxic. nasty.

I use a couple of 250W infrared bulbs that cost about $5 each at the hardware store.
