Hi, it depends on what type of iron on you are using. Typically it only takes 10-15 seconds but the key to it is pressure. You need to make sure you are applying pressure to it as well.

It is Not recommended to move the iron around while applying heat transfer vinyl.

I tried this method, and it almost worked. I used parchment paper, and I think I pressed too hard in one part of the shirt, and it lightly discolored it. My iron has indents and it didn't have any effect.

Is this the same heating setting if I am applying vinyl to 100% polyester?

We recommend applying the vinyl to material that can withstand the recommended heat settings. Check the heat limits of the material before application.

@Expressionsvinyls

You want to make sure there isn't any wax on the freezer sheets as that could leave a residue on your shirt. Since it was designed for food it may have that on it.

Depending on your iron it is usually towards the hotter range but not to the highest setting. You can test it out as well an a corner of the clear carrier sheet. If you put heat on it and the sheet starts to curl then it is too hot. Hopefully that helps.
