    The Siser blog says to peel the foil cold. It also says, “You may notice small gaps in the foil on your garment, that’s because
    screen printing foils don’t actually offer full coverage. It’s normal
    for small pieces to get left behind on the foil sheet. This gives the
    foil a bit of a distressed look that’s very popular.” Thoughts on those?

      Anthony, thanks for pointing this out. You are correct and the foil should be peeled cold. Because of you we’ve updated the blog post to reflect the correct information. We try our best but from time to time we’re human too and make mistakes :-). Regarding the small pieces of foil left behind this is also correct and how we explain it on our website on the Foil Product Page http://www.proworldinc.com/foil-rolls-12-x-25-ft.html.

        Darn! I was hoping you would say hot peel was better- I hate waiting for it to cool! I also had a client who didn’t like the distressed look, so I was hoping for a way to not have that happen. That project was gold, so I was able to use the Siser Foil. But that’s not available in the great range of colors and patterns you are offering.
