I believe he is just trying to share his experience with this particular product, not looking for alternatives, if I'm not mistaken.

I've been using the TB-10 for years. Right out of the bucket with a squirt bottle and small foam roller. Works great.
I saw something shiny and kinda new and gave it a go. Pass. If you have a press dedicated to just tees these may work great for you.
I really should have paid better attention to the video from Ryonet when they put adhesive on top of the fleece lint instead of cleaning them.
Live and learn and learn and learn some more.

General Discussion and ??? / Re: MHM restructuring?

This is what I got from a friend at MHM:
"MHM did not file for bankruptcy. That's what some people and competitiors want our customers to believe and some press releases are incorrect.
Inorder to reposition for the future we applied for a legal resturcture project run the the Austrian government.
We are going into a restructuring procedure according to the Austrian restructuring code."
I hope they make it, their machines are great. So well made. I wish them the best of luck.

Tekmar TB-HV. Just right for me anyway. I never water it down however, with fresh paper we'll often apply two coats wet on dry. Lasts even longer. If you're still doing all those thousand black shirt runs it should work great for you. If you lose tack in the run we just run the shirts of, water scrub, quick flash, and back running. Just like the Garston stuff. Cept a lot cheaper

Switched over to liquid wb tack (Used for decades when I had belt printers and introduced it to the platen people back in the day. Some might not know this, but liquid glue can last for more than a month (in non fleece season!). It reactivates with water and a scrub from a push broom replacement head. Heat and go. Some think the boards lose tack but its just lint that needs to be scrubbed off. Same with the double sided tack tape that Duane and I used at JSR Direct.

garston carried the double sided tack paper, they were bought by Tubelite, then tubelite was bought by grimco. long story - grimco no longer carries it and i havent been able to find anything close. the stuff garston carried was perfect. we could leave it on for a week and scrub and it would work fine.

right now we are using something from grimco that is advertised as a double sided tack but it lasts for about a day. all 5 autos are frustrated at the tack letting go after 6 hours. when you scrub to get the lint off - the glue comes off the board.

Tony - whats the brand of liquid glue you are using? theres about a hundred on the market.
