I've had mine for about six months now. This baby is a game changer. Struggling to set the hat on the plate and eliminating the empty bubble space between the hat and the plate is a thing of the past. It's a truly hands free press. This is an unbelievably well kept secret. Awesome machine!!!
Just ordered my Vevor Hat Press from your referral/affiliate link! Thank you again for the great video!
Hi Matt. If they are JDS patches, I thought I remembered reading that they were hand wash only. Glad I got to see you again! JohnnyF
Your videos are lets just say "GREAT". I really enjoy the videos and your humor. Thanks for all your work brother.
Thanks 😃
Before I read your shirt, I knew you'd have some Dad jokes! Love your personality!! Thanks for the review.
Thanks 😊
Hi Matt, great to see you again! I used to do sublimation. 12 secs does not seem long enough at all. That patch is pretty thick. It softened the glue, but not enough to transfer and meld with the hat. Try preheating the hat, then quickly place the patch and press. Maybe 18-20 secs to start? Guessing it will end up closer to 30.
Thanks I will try that
I have the original version of the vevor press I happy with it so far. Much like yourself not gonna lay out $1800 just yet. I’ve never sent a leather patch hat through the dishwasher but I have others so interested to see how it works out. Great video!
Thanks
I'm looking forward to the next video. Glad we got to see you again.
Thanks 😊
The curves not matching is most likely correct. With the thickness of the hat and the leather patch, everything should be matched up and even. The more you separate the plates in the closed position, the more you change the difference in radius of the curve. So they most likely designed the plates for the best fit with a standard hat and patch. Also love the videos and thanks for the entertainment.
Yeah I am thinking the same thing
My patches don't come off, even when I used the Vevor manual hat press. I have a Hotronix now. Watch a couple of videos from Stahls on pressing hats, I saw a number of things you did/didn't do that would affect how well the patch sticks. Glad you got to hear from me again!
Yeah when the hats get here I am going to do a bunch of testing.
Great vid, been looking for someone to demo. BTW, you have to wait at least 24 hours before washing any garment you press. That's also what you should always tell your customers. Respect.😁
Thanks. I need to do an update video because if you use 300 and 30 seconds you can wash it and will not fall off.
pretty cool & it was probably the hat having stitches
One of the things you need to do when pressing patches on hats is fold out the sweat band! Having the sweat band in its normal spot will cause uneven pressure.
Yeah I know. It wasn’t going to work because of the embroidering I figured anyways once I get my new hats, I’ll do more testing. Thanks
I have a vevor quiet air compressor and I love it!!!!!
Nice press. I hope it works out for you, Matt. The workshop is getting smaller. I can see the garage conversion in the coming weeks 🙂
Yes me too 😉
Here's an suggestion, is it possible to use 2 pieces 3/4" wood, engrave one piece and then laminate the 2 pieces to make one board
I've noticed in other videos that the main complaint with these type of presses is that it leaves a line on the hat. Like it singes or burns the fabric. I'd be curious to know if this one does that.
I paid $125.00 brand new on Amazon. It was a steal.
It was suggested to me to use E6000 on the leatherette patches small line around the edges and some in the center then smooth it towards the middle., the adhesive is not the best on the leatherette. I am just starting with the leather and hats.
Thanks
Matt! Did you check the radii on the other bases? See if they the match radius? Worse- better?
Yes it was the same
Hey bro nice video! Question, what hat manufacturers/wholesalers do u use?
S&S
Was wo dering if you tested more hats yet. Really looking to see how Richardson 112's do on this thing.
I have been. I will have a video soon. 😃
Nice. Thanks! I feel like I need another hand with my existing one... not ready to drop 1800 on one just yet.
Right
Hi do you think this hat heat press would work with DTF?
I was just thinking about that and wanted to try it
I think putting it on a hot wash while it was still hot was a bit of a killer for it.
Yes you are absolutely right. Along with many other things I did.
My wife says waiting 24 hours might have avoided all that. Hehe - good first day test nonetheless!
Awesome video, I just got this press in. Which platen do you find works best on the Richardson 112, small, medium, or large?
The medium I believe
I use the one that is the same size as the top. I have a video coming out in the next of the settings on this press.
Hello. How did u get your hat press to heat up? For some reason my vevor hat is on at 81f
When it’s on turn the dial to the left.
the clunking seemed to go away when you put the hat in the press. also, those tiny gaps at the ends seem to be filled up by the hat.
Yes they do but I would think it should be the same.
@laserengravingwithmatt7833 I would think so as well but, I have zero experience with hat presses.
Vevor is the new “Acme”😁
👍😂
Matt what’s a good starting heat setting for leather patches on the hats?
I need to make a video about this. I finally figured out the settings and they won’t come off for leather patches on hats. It is 300 at 30 seconds
Thanks Matt.
Matt did you say 30 seconds? Seems long. but what do i know. 😀
300 30 worked good. thanks.
😃
Sorry guys but the vevor machine I bought is a total piece of crap! Heat temperature was going all over the place and not constant at all. Ruined several hats before I checked the temperature with a temp gun. Temp would rise and fall by 35 to 40 degrees the whole time it was on. I was not aware of it until I ruined a few hats. Tech support said that was normal. That was my answer and solution. Awful way to lose money. Threw it in the trash. They would not honor my warranty. Done. Best be careful when buying this machine or at least check it out before your 30 days runs out.
Wow that is a big temperature difference. You are the second person that had said that. I have run 500 plus hats through mine and still going strong. I will definitely look at some other brands if the vevor one is not putting out quality ones.
@@laserengravingwithmatt Yeah, I just dealt with this yesterday and this is what the vevor guys told me. I know I did not pump a whole lot of money into this heat press but it sure did not turn out the way I had hoped for. Now I have to lick my wounds and get another hat heat press for a decent price that will work and will be supported by a company that will help us and not turn on us. Shame on Vevor. All I can say. Buyers beware. After you get to that 30 day point, you are on your own.
More machiens and tools, your workshop is getting smaller.
😄
HATs off to you for this imPRESSive and HEATED video review! 🤣 But seriously, that looks like a good hat press to this non-pro-never-done-a-hat guy! Best part though: bubble bath song... hands down.
😆 definitely fun to learn new things. 😂🤣 I was dying editing the video. 😆
