Method for all IronClad Tiles

4X4= 4 minutes
6X6= 5 minutes
8X8= 7 minutes
8X10= 4.5 minutes
12X12= 8 minutes

1. Print the transfer.

2. Place 1/2" Nomex Felt on the bottom of the heat press and then place a protective sheet of paper on top of the felt.

3. Lightly mist the transfer with DyeTrans Adhesive Spray or use heat tape. Place the transfer on the face of the tile, smooth wrinkles. Should you decide to use heat tape, be sure it does not overlap the image on the other side of the page. Improperly applied heat tape will cause the affected area of the transfer to be inhibited.

4. Place the tile face up onto the protective paper and felt. Cover with 1/8" thick Green Rubber Pad

5) Press with Temp/Time/Pressure settings listed above.

6. Carefully remove tile from the press and allow to air cool.

You can press more than 1 tile at a time if you have 2 or more inches of empty space surrounding all four sides of the tile. Add 1 minute of dwell time for each additional tile used during an imprinting session. For example, to press four 4x4 tiles add 3 minutes for a total time of 11 minutes.
*Be careful with the timing, too long in the press may cause purplish discoloration.

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.

NOTE: Do not use grout for IronClad tiles, especially colored grout which will stain the tiles. Mortar, glue or silicone are recommended.



SPECIAL NOTE: FE88G: If haziness occurs after imprinting, reduce time by one minute.
