What is the cure time for Leather Patches with Lonestar adhesive applied ? Thanks.......

@SodaCityBoards 4 күн бұрын

Once it’s off the press and cooled down it’s good to go

Are you using air assist?

I like your tutorial, but I don't have lightburn, I use XCS. Do you have any instructions for XCS, and does your Jig work for XCS?

@SodaCityBoards Ай бұрын

I don’t use xcs at all. Lightburn is the best out there in my opinion. I have tried it maybe once or twice so I really have no knowledge of xcs

@marianohernandez8309 Ай бұрын

Have a question, is there any translation on settings to do this in XCS? I like a your videos, but mostly on Lightburn.

I see from comment leatherette already had adhesive applied. What kept the adhesive from being activated when you did the DTF heat press in first step? Why did it not stick to your press?

@SodaCityBoards Ай бұрын

Yes, there is a paper backing to it that won’t allow it to activate. once you take that off and press it would activate

probably a very stupid question,but i just got my order in...does the white sheet get thrown away,or is that just used as like press paper? or is it the actual adhesive?

The white sheet peels off, just protective over the adhesive. Can throw it away

What is the rubber sheet or silicone sheet you put over the top when pressing the hat. I ordered some and they get extremely hot and ruin the DTF print and stick to the platen. I feel I may have bought the wrong kind. Can you hit me with a link and also have you tried butcher paper or a teflon sheet?

@SodaCityBoards 3 ай бұрын

It is just a silicone sheet that I use (it came with another press I purchased so I don’t have a link) - check out amazon for silicone sheets!

@randycoleman2759 3 ай бұрын

Did you design your colored logo yourself? If so, what program did you use to do the designing and who or how did you get the DTF finished product to adhere to your leather? Did you outsource that step to create the DTF's?

@SodaCityBoards 3 ай бұрын

I had someone at a marketing company I used to work for design it. I have someone with a dtf printer print them for me, then heat press them onto the leatherette

Thanks so much for the video. Great advice to help me going in to my first tumbler engrave. Have you tried these settings with Yeti brand tumblers? I'm using the Atomstack X7 Pro which is also a 10 watt diode so I'd assume it'll be the same. I also love your idea about raising the chuck up for items with handles. I've really struggled with them.

Can you share how you incorporated the Lonestar Adhesive? Did you have it pre-applied to the leatherette? At what stage did you add the adhesive? Love this and can't wait to try it out!!! I have lots of leatherette and many ideas I can't wait to try. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, and I used your code for Lonestar Adhesive this morning 😊

@SodaCityBoards 4 ай бұрын

I buy with adhesive already applied! I do have rolls of it as well to apply to my plastic - put it on the full sheet of material and press on the flat heat press for 12 seconds (can’t remember temp) then ready to cut. Glad to hear of the code use! I don’t get any kickback from it - just asked for a coupon to help others find the product I love and test it.

Hello and thanks very much for doing this video! You get right to it with useful information and not a lot of fluff. Question - You make it clear that you're doing this with the xTool d1 10W - would you say that's the minimum power needed for burning tumblers? I have a 5W at the moment, but probably about to buy the newer 20w machine. I'm hoping that will give me plenty of power to do this type of work. Thanks again.

@SodaCityBoards 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! I’m sure you can do it on the 5w, just have to do your power speed tests to find your perfect settings. But a 20w will be perfect as well with faster speeds too!

I wonder if you can go ahead and do them in a sheet and then use Lightburns camera and print to cut function. That a way you don't have to fiddle with the allinement. 🤔

@SodaCityBoards 4 ай бұрын

I don’t have a camera, would have to purchase one. I’m trying to think of ways to press first then cut. Was thinking of the prints could but done on an exact same size sheet of the leatherette and then I know the exact spot and can add the border to cut?
