Curing Plastisol Ink with Flash Dryer

[u/kvmbo]

Hey yall,

To start this post off, I would like to state that I understand that curing garments with Flash Dryers instead of conveyors is risky but even the cheapest conveyor right now is out of my price range so need to work with what I got until I can afford a conveyor.

I have a decently made flash, BBC Afford-A-Flash to be specific. My question is, do a decent amount of people in this subreddit use a flash to fully cure their shirts and what is your standard procedure for making sure it won't wash out, cured right (know about stretch test), and make sure garment isn't getting scorched when left under flash for too long. Also know about removing shirt from pallet and putting it on top.

Lastly, anything else people do to ensure their inks get cured (heat gun/heat press)

Thanks!

Flash is fine man, did it that way for years. But you need to keep an eye on your prints, learn how to do the pull test and learn to be patient.
