Nice foil job!

What adhesive are you using?

Looks like crown rainbow foil.  Also interested in your choice for adhesive.

Correct. Automated the process to 3 peeps=40 dozen per hr. Most plastisols work although I make a special mix that holds up better in the laundry. Heres a select foil (bad pic oh well)

hard to tell from the image, but white discharge with gold foil?  I have done a few discharge/adhesive+foil jobs and it really is an awesome process.  Lets you get some really detailed foil pieces without worrying about additives and adhesion issues.

Correct. We are looking at doing domestic production for a very large international fitness group known to most. And they love their foil.

do you do anything after pressing to further adhere the foil?  I have had issues with washfastness and wear when I didnt "rub" the foil after pressing.  Pain in the ass extra step....

No. Its all about knowing how to make and apply the adhesive. I have a proprietary method that ensures washfastness. The gym clothes are washed often

I have said this before I think, Virus foil adhesive is AMAZING right out of the bucket!!! I believe but could definitely be wrong that Amagic the foil company may sell it. If not PM me and I will get you the direct contact info to buy it.
