great video my man!! I have a question I have a mini heat press, not as big as the one you’re using. could I still use it for name sets?

[@N30YRD]

Perfect, well explained awesome job Will

[@wefixkits]

Why thank you! Glad it is useful to you. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@golazzo_1884]

Excellent work and very well explained. Love your dedication to precision 👍

[@wefixkits]

Dedication to precision sounds much better than OCD! 🤣🤣🤙🤙

[@martensneyers1938]

Great vid as always

[@wefixkits]

That's very kind of you to say, thank you!

[@martensneyers1938]

​@wefixkits are there some Affordable heat press machines you can suggest?

[@wefixkits]

Yes defo - this is one we started with and in fact still use years later - amzn.to/3VG0Y7y

[@Tom-wg2sj]

Really good video, what size heat press do you use?

[@wefixkits]

Thank you! Much appreciated! We have two - one is 38x38, the other is 50x38. I would always recommend getting as big as you can to fit your budget.

Hello! I was thinking that I could make a name set at home?

[@wefixkits]

Yes sure! I have done some videos on how to do it using Silhouette studio with a silhouette cameo 4 - give me a shout if you need some more tips

[@alessiocapuano8636]

Hi, how do u make the namesets and how to print them? I want to do some myself any help would be pprecoated thanks!

[@wefixkits]

Hi mate - this video (whilst focusing on sponsors) outlines how to create most things that don't require printing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6O2dJiEh8SBj6ssi=4q2A38aR2fHedukF The actual process of printing namesets etc, requires relatively high cost devices, but I plan to do a video in the near future around this

[@arviiisi]

The mat/pillow is so essential. Really annoys me that so many people and even shops don't use any protection inside the shirt so details from the front sometimes show through on the back (and sometimes vice versa) I've even had a shirt where the back and front were stuck together, likely becuase they just laid the shirt flat on the press and hoped for the best.

[@wefixkits]

🤣🤣🤣 I know right! Defo gives better results.

[@helis235]

what if i have two numbers ? how do i get them to be exactly in the center ?

[@wefixkits]

Tape them together with the spacing you want, then find the middle from furthest left and furthest right points. Line that middle point up with the midline of the shirt. Make sense?

[@dominicblack-un9fl]

where do i get the pressing pad from?

[@wefixkits]

I use this one - amzn.to/3Vo3S0B

[@liamlokken5920]

Do you make the namesets yourself?

[@wefixkits]

Hi mate - yes we do, about 95% of the namesets I make. For this video I used genuine SportingID ones though

[@wilfriedboh1]

i have only used my smaller heat press for my sleeve patches on my football ⚽️ shirts . so I was wondering if it’s ok to use it for a nameset

[@wefixkits]

All depends. If the heat press can get to the correct temperature and pressure, you should be fine. What type of nameset is it?

[@wilfriedboh1]

Samuel Eto'o barcelona 2006 and inter 2009. they're both plastic peels like in your video. my heatset warms up to the recommended temperatures

[@wefixkits]

You should be fine then. Make sure the whole nameset is secure before peeling otherwise you risk marking it

[@wilfriedboh1]

secure meaning taped down and in place before i even heat press it right?

[@wefixkits]

I just mean, make sure the entire nameset is fully pressed before you peel any of it. Make sense?

[@carlosriosazevedo5437]

Hello. What is the size of your heatpress? 38x38 ?

[@wefixkits]

Hi there. The heatpress I use in this video is 20"x15" - 50cm x 38cm

[@carlosriosazevedo5437]

@@wefixkits Thanks, man! Another question... How you print and cut the numbers and letters? I want to star a restore service in Portugal...
