-Hand cleaner + Home Depot
-Ink not sure haven't used this brand is pretty new so there won't be a lot of help if you run into problems and want to post ? on forum
-emulsion not sure haven't used
-squeeges 6" ok but 12" may be too small with most people wanting designs around 11-12" wide , maybe go with 14"

Get that instead of spray adhesives. Your lungs and your press will thank you. Use web adhesive only for hoodies.

I have nothing against Ryonet, but you can probably get a better recommendations from a local supplier.  Also, they might deliver on a route or you might be able to pick it up.

If $300 seems like a lot of money, keep in mind that it isn't. Also, you will/should make money with your materials, so that $300 won't seem like much after awhile. I can't remember the last time something only cost $300...

Welcome Powerflex,
I don't know about anyone else, but this post also piques my interest about another piece of the puzzle.
You sound ready to slap some ink on a shirt or two. Whatcha' going to use to help you do that?
What equipment do you have?

I echo what DK said about spray adhesives.  Get a water based one.
