Using Hot Melt Glue Powder on T-Shirts

Hot melt glue powder is primarily applied on T-shirts in the following ways:

1. Adhering Decorations

Hot melt glue powder can be used to securely attach various decorations  to T-shirts. By using a hot melt glue gun to apply melted glue to the decoration, it can then be pressed onto the T-shirt. Once the glue cools and solidifies, the decoration will be firmly attached.

2. Fabric Joining

When creating personalized T-shirts or joining different fabrics, hot melt glue powder can be used to bond various materials. Melt the hot melt glue powder, apply it to the edges of the fabrics that need to be joined, and quickly combine them to form a sturdy seam.

3. Repairing Damage

If a T-shirt has small tears or rips, hot melt glue powder can be used for repair. Apply the glue to the damaged area, and once it cools and solidifies, it can effectively prevent further tearing.

4. Attaching Labels

Hot melt glue powder can also be used to attach care labels or brand tags to the inside of T-shirts, ensuring that the labels are secure and less likely to come off.

Step:

• Equipment Preparation:

  • Use a hot melt glue gun or machine, ensuring the device is clean and preheated to the required temperature.

• Glue Powder Preparation:

  • Choose the appropriate hot melt glue powder based on the required bonding strength and material type.

• Heating:

  • Place the hot melt glue powder in the device and wait for it to melt, usually taking a few minutes.

• Applying Glue:

  • Use the hot melt glue gun to evenly apply the melted glue on the surfaces to be bonded.

• Joining Materials:

  • Quickly align the materials to be bonded and maintain pressure until the glue cools and sets.

• Cleaning:

  • Clean the equipment and any excess glue promptly after use to maintain the tools in good condition.

Usage Precautions

• Temperature Control: Ensure that the heating temperature of the hot melt glue powder is appropriate to avoid damaging the fabric.
• Test Adhesion: Before extensive use, it’s advisable to test on an inconspicuous area to ensure there are no negative effects.

By using hot melt glue powder appropriately, you can enhance the appearance and durability of T-shirts.
