Used to be a Crown dude but Amagic now. Both work fine.
Virus adhesive is the best.
Application can vary widely between foil colors.
Gold is easy. Silver is not. Everything else is somewhere in between.

Is this what you use for adhesive?

i just now saw that Graphic Solution is selling a Virus Hydra Foil adhesive and its $118 per 5kg vs the $168 i pay for the klaser virus adhesive.
whats the difference in the product other than the price?

Yes, same product. Virus Hydracryl I think? And yes it's excellent. We also use Wilflex clear adhesive plastisol.
A good alt method for silver foil is the Siser Foil product. Not as durable as direct printed foil adhesive but can get you out of a bind with a difficult application. Has to be cad cut so can't go nuts on the detail.
Amagic foil here that we source from klaser. It's cool to see all the weird patterns.

We had silver foil on poly/cotton neon baby rib tanks, like a 1000 of them. With a wb print as well.
It came out to something really weird, like 1 second press, 4 second wait, peel while still warm.
The odd thing about silver is if you press too hard or hot or long the adhesive bonds to the foil backing
and when you go to peel it rips the adhesive off the shirt usually.
