This is PU and requires higher heat than HTV
I read a bunch of reviews and there is kind of a split and I think I found some common threads with the low star reviews. First off this is NOT vinyl it's PolyUrethane. So it's closer to easyweed super stretch (or whatever they are calling it). It needs more heat to set and has to be cold peeled. A bunch of the folks who have peeling problems are using irons and that may have a hard time getting everything hot enough. Others don't seem to have read the heat settings (printed on the envelope) and are using their "tried and true" HTV settings. That won't work. PU wants 320F, it's not going to bond at 305 or 310.The second big "complaint" is by folks cutting on the backing and not the film. This is semi understandable since HTV generally is full color film on a clear backing and this stuff is a sandwich of color and a white adhesive layer on a clear backing. You have to put the color side down. I screwed that up my self and was frustrated till I did a knife test and realized I had it backward.The PU film is thinner than normal HTV so if anything a lighter touch is needed. If you can't seem to cut through ... you are cutting on the wrong side.I haven't used this long enough to have long term wear results but some reviews have and seem to be holding up.I suspect that most of the experienced users who posted negative reviews were using HTV heat settings and hadn't noticed that this was PU. I know a lot of the newbee negative reviews were cutting on the wrong side.And if you are using a home iron this product may not be for you. Folks who are using heat presses seem to be having better results than folks with home irons. I suspect it's because home irons are not putting out enough even heat and they are only getting partial bonding.Providing this hold up to a bunch of washings I think it's a winner. It cuts like a dream (when I got the film side up!) and weeds very easily. With my hand heat press I did a second press because I though some of it was lifting, but that was probably over cautious. The backing clings more than other HTV and I think it was just stretching the t shirt a bit while I was peeling.As a side plus PU is a lot less toxic than vinyl, it's baby safe (vinyl isn't) and extremely inert. So as long as it's bonder it should last a long time.

Overall good buy.
This product definitely has its pros and cons.Biggest pro: Soooooo easy to weed. It literally was the easiest weeding I've ever done and my project had a lot of small lettering.Pro: affordable color variety. Im a hobbies so I dont use tons. So I'd rather buy smaller sheets of mixed colors. This was perfect for that.Con: First attempt I put the wrong side up on my machine and was so annoyed that I couldn't get it to weed at all. Read some reviews on here and realized I had the carrier on top. It was kind of difficult to tell off hand. But as I said, once I cut the correct side it went amazing.Con: it needs a LOT of pressure to adhere. I had to press the first project a few extra times because it wouldn't stick, even after letting it get completely cold and having my press at 325. Once I figured out the pressure it was fine though and all my other pressings went smoothly.Con: The smell. I dont even know how to describe it, but it STINKS! Once pressed I went back a few hours later to smell the project and it went away, but straight out of the envelope its pretty bad.OVERALL: I say its worth it for me. The weeding and the color variety outweigh the cons, especially since they all were manageable with a little time.

This is the thin matte flexible vinyl that you can afford!
This vinyl is great! I will buy this from now on. It weeds like easy weed, adheres well, and you don’t find small pieces falling off to have to take 20 more minutes to put back on and not stick to your carrier sheet!! I’ve used 2 other cheap vinyls and always disappointed either their really thick and would make someone sweat underneath or they are just junk and have no sticky carriersheet and I’m puzzling my design back together. This works wonders, and it’s all flat as it comes so no need to unroll and tape etc. it’s easy to know how to cut because it’s white on one side and color is on the other and you cut white side up!This was everything I hoped for and more and even came with a see they Teflon sheet and durable folder to store. The vinyl will wrinkle a bit when you wash it made onto a shirt make sure to tell customers to wash inside out and tumble dry!

Good HTV - Need Specific Heat Settings
Overall, a good bundle of HTV. There are no instructions on settings for the brand on the package , but can be found on the company website. You are supposed to cut on the “white” side, and place the colored side on the cutting mat. HOWEVER, there are numerous pieces that do not have a “white” side. I found it best to test a small corner before cutting to be aure you have the adhesive side facing up to cut your pattern.The gold and silver sheets are especially nice - they iron on to a shiny, but not mirror/glossy effect. The neon colors are fabulous. Color assortment is pretty good. Some dark and some brights.Had no problems weeding or ironing on with my Cricut Easy Press 2.

The best and softest.
I loved this. I just ordered it again. I do not know why this has low stars. After using this I decided to buy a black 5 foot roll of something else because I never could find a black roll of this and the gio-flex. All vinyl is not created equal the five foot roll album from this company you can rub your hand across the chest and it feels like it's raised up I've only made two shirts and I don't know what it where's like but it did not lay flat I'm not impressed with it right now. The brand was (ARHIKY) it's horrible. Did not get a Teflon sheet like it said also. I'm going to make one more shirt with this roll in a different font if it does the same I'm sending it back.

Very stiff
Both sides are same color and hard to tell which side to cut. And made shirts very stiff if you cut bigger sized images. I don’t like how shiny it is either.

I love it!!!
I absolutely love this product (so far)! It is so easy to use with the little Cricut iron. The Color’s are amazing and it’s so much easier to weed. The hardest thing was remembering to put it in the Cricut coloured side down!!!Totally recommend this product
