Adhering LoneStar's Durra-Bull Adhesive
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Foam and NO-FOAM leatherette?
All leatherette is composed of an external color layer, internal color layer to which you engrave, and a very thin foam layer applied to a supportive material, usually made of a canvas/felt like material. If production stops here, you have what's known as "NO-FOAM" leatherette, which is the best option for any material that may need to flex, or which may require occasional machine washing. LoneStar Adhesive's composition of Premium Leatherette™ includes additional layers that improve the thickness and durability above and beyond what has been accepted as industry standard.
What is Durra-Bull Adhesive
Durra-Bull Adhesive is an American Made thermal activated adhesive used for projects involving leather, leatherette, acrylic, wood veneer, PVC, embroidery, & more!
T-Shirt Press Settings
With the backing of the adhesive facing the heating element you want to press for 10-12 seconds @ 220 degrees with medium pressure.
Household Iron Settings
The iron will need to be set to the cotton/linen setting, using no steam. Place an ironing board or old towel on the stable surface you'll use to iron so that any moisture emitted does not damage the material. Lay the engraving side of the material face-down, with the shiny side of the adhesive sheet facing the material's "back." Position the adhesive sheet to your desired position, then use a gentle upward motion through the center of the adhesive sheet. Work from the center and move outward to reduce wrinkles in the adhesive. Once the entire surface of the adhesive is secured to the material, allow time for cooling and proceed with your project. Some materials such as acrylic and wood veneer will benefit from being placed under a weighted object to ensure the materials remain flat.
Branding Iron Hat Press Settings
Suggested settings for the Branding Iron are 280°F on top and 400°F on bottom for 45 seconds with medium pressure applied.
IQ 360 Settings
For most materials, the suggested setting will be 280*F on the top platen and 320*F on bottom platen for 45 seconds. For regular leatherette, 40 seconds will be a preferred starting point.
Single Platen Settings
We suggest starting at 300*F for 40-50 seconds with most materials, including leather that is 4oz or less of thickness. Some customers prefer pre-pressing the hat to warm it up with the top platen or pressing for additional time.
Hat Cleaning Process
It’s best to hand wash and spot treat your cap with warm water and a light laundry detergent or OxiClean.
Shipping
Orders with adhesive and most materials will be shipped out within 2-3 business days, notwithstanding extenuating circumstances. Custom patch orders will be shipped within 7-10 business days unless otherwise specified.
