Need some good advice here, we have a large job to do and all the shirts are wicking /100% ploy shirts, we did this job last with no problem but this year they are tossing in something different they want.. on the girls shirts a glitter print. We have some glitter inks from union but I know they are not low heat and the shirts can't take the amount of heat that is needed to really get a good cure on glitter inks without scorching them. I thought about using heat glitter transfers from stahls mixed with an ink print, looks like glitter is hot this summer, oh and the shirt color is black!!!

Would it work to add Low Cure Additive to the glitter ink you already have? We use some from International Coatings, it drops the cure temp down to around 300.

Those garments do hold heat so you might be ok with straight up glitter but in for this one I may underbase with a thin 200 mesh barrier base.
