Siser® Hotmelt Film Foils Flocking And Reflective - 20"

Siser® HotMelt Film is a plotter-cut hot-melt adhesive film used to bond hot-stamping foils, flock, and reflective materials to fabric. It is not a decoration on its own — it is the adhesive layer you cut, weed, and press first, then apply your foil or flock over the top. It replaces the discontinued PoliMelt adhesive.

The film carries a transparent self-adhesive carrier that holds small pieces in place and makes fine weeding manageable, and it measures 60 microns (2.4 mils) thick. It cuts on any standard vinyl cutter, including Cricut, Silhouette, Graphtec, and Siser Romeo and Juliet.

Features

• Foil, flock, and reflective adhesive — one cuttable base layer for all three decoration types.
• Transparent self-adhesive carrier — easy weeding and accurate placement on detailed artwork.
• 60 microns / 2.4 mils — thin enough for fine detail and small text.
• Plotter friendly — cuts cleanly on Cricut, Silhouette, Graphtec, and Siser cutters.
• PoliMelt replacement — direct substitute for the discontinued adhesive.

Recommended Fabrics

• 100% Cotton
• Uncoated Polyester
