The heat transfer stuff is Stahls' Cad-Cut . I know they have a website but I don't have it at hand. They are at 1-800-521-9702.

the stuff i am hunting is not heat transfer. it has an adhesevive back and applies like vinyl except it is nylon. the size of the logo is 3'x4' and i can't get a heat transfer machine on the top of the tent.

Yeah, Jimmy, I got a sample of the nylon stuff too several years ago but haven't seen it since.

Over the years it has gone by different names...Dac-Ez from Advertising Ideas 800-323-6359. Fabricbrite from Creative Banner in Minnesota 800-528-8846. Be sure to mention to both that you saw it here on the Letterville website, and urge them to be a merchant! My best luck is to also heat set it from the back side once applied by using a hand iron on a moderate temp, have a helper on the graphics side hold something flat against the surface so you can press against it with the iron. There is a knack to not overheating it...keep moving the iron around. Call if you need anthing else. Mick Samsel

It's called DacEz from Advertisin Ideas 800-323-6359 . Also FabricBrite from Creative Banners in MN 800-528-8846. Tell them you heard about it on this BB and maybe they should advertise here.
I always heat set them with a hand iron on a moderate setting. I have a helper hold some alumalite against the graphics. I then press and keep the iron moving throughout the graphics on the back side of the nylon. You can over heat the graphics/nylon...theres a minor learning curve as with anything. An awning I did 3 years ago with a southern exposure still looks / adhers great. This also was the only stuff I could get to stick / stay on a 100% polyester pop up tent that really got a lot of abuse. Call if any questions. Mick Samsel
