FOIL TRANSFER ON LEATHER
Enhance your leather creations with this foil transfer paper. The foil is used with heated brass characters (letters, numbers, symbols) to make your text shiny.
Ideal for personalizing and embellishing your purses, bags, belts and other leather accessories.
Available in several colors to choose from: gold, silver, bronze, black or white
Using foil with Deco Cuir brass characters :
The foil can be used for hot stamping by screwing the Deco Cuir character holder onto an electric threading iron or by screwing it onto the Deco Cuir brass handle.
- Cut a piece of foil to the desired length. Place the shiny side of the foil on top.
- Set the temperature of the threading iron between 100°C and 120°C. For use with the Deco Cuir brass handle, heat the brass characters with a blowtorch for example and use gloves to protect yourself from the heat.
- Apply the characters to your leather, respecting perfect verticality (for use with the handle, you can strike it delicately with a wooden or nylon mallet if necessary).
- Gently remove the foil sheet.
Use with heat press 3970-00 :
- Recommended temperature: between 110°C and 150°C.
- Cut a piece of foil to the desired length.
- On the sliding tray, position the leather then the foil (shiny side visible).
- For most smooth mineral tanned leathers, gently lower the press handle 2-3 times for 1 second to transfer the foil (do not hold it down for too long or you risk smudging). For vegetable tanned leather, lower the handle only once.
- Gently remove the foil sheet.
We recommend testing on a piece of the same leather to adjust the temperature setting, application time and pressure.
We do not recommend applying foil to grained or suede leather.
