Siser Hi-5 Weeding Tips:

- Proper Weeding Tool: Use a tool with a pointed tip (e.g. easipick, tweezers, or a hook-ended tool) to remove excess Siser Hi-5 material.
- Weed From the Left: For reverse-cut designs (design on carrier film), start weeding from the left and move to the right.
- Remove Inner Parts First: For letters with inner spaces (like "O" or "B"), remove the inner pieces before weeding the outer edges.
- Add a Cut/Weed Box Around the Design: When working with multiple designs, adding a cut box around each decal can aid in cutting and weeding.
- Heat Slightly on the Heat Press Platen: Heating Siser P.S. Film Easyweed slightly on the heat press platen makes weeding the excess even quicker and easier. Be careful not to over heat it though!
