Piqued Report post Posted June 28, 2018 Has anyone used an unplugged hydraulic t-shirt heat press as an alternative to steel rule die clickers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferg Report post Posted June 28, 2018 Mt heat press is manual 16 x 20 I wouldn't do it to mine. Just not made for that kind of use. I am sure it would work for awhile anyway. Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BDAZ Report post Posted June 29, 2018 The problem with a T-shirt press is that the plates are not parallel and I am sure the press is not designed for the stresses that would be imposed. One thing you can do with that press is get hold of some heat and bond Set your press for 250F and use it for laminating lining. use the press for 3 or 4 seconds to tack the HnB to the lining (suede, thin veg tan or fabric) then peel the release paper, place on the base leather and press for 30 seconds. Been using this for 2 years and zero failures. Best affordable clicker would be a 12 ton (or even 6 ton) arbor press. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
