Note, when doing single tiles, you will have to remove as much of the glue backing as possible. Try heating the tile and to scrape off.
1. Print the transfer, mirrored.
2. Cover the bottom of the heat press with a Teflon Sheet, do not use protective paper as the tiles will stick to it.
3. Place the transfer on the face of the tile sheet, smooth wrinkles. Use heat tape on each edge to prevent tile sheet from shifting. Be sure the tape does not overlap the image as it comes into contact with the edge of the tile. Improperly applied heat tape will cause the affected area of the transfer to be inhibited.
4. Place the tile sheet face up onto protective paper, transfer on top, tape it to the protective paper. Cover with the protective sheet of paper and apply the green rubber pad on top of the tile.
5) Press with Temp/Time/Pressure settings listed above.
6. Carefully remove tile from the press and allow to air cool. Use a flat sheet of cardboard to move the tile. Then remove the transfer carefully. Do not move the tile again while the glue is re-hardening.
If you are mounting these tiles and want to use grout: Un-sanded grout should be used. Tiles can be cleaned with any household non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge.
