Padding
Padding is very important to garment quality. Air bags
which are worn or made from improper material
cannot give good results. Bag and cover assemblies
purchased from different suppliers can affect shirt
quality.
Thirty ounce (30 oz.) flannel padding (manufactured
from reprocessed nylon) is originally provided with
the press. It is considered to be the best, most
economical padding available. In most cases, this
material will give quality performance for a period of
3 to 5 weeks, depending on production, type of
garment pressed, moisture retention, and chemical
residue in shirts.
NOTE: Replace worn flannel with thirty ounce
(30 oz.) flannel. Fifty ounce (50 oz.) flannel is NOT
recommended for vacuum units.
To increase the life cycle, build up padding that has
developed low areas and is producing pin wrinkles or
rough dry spots on finished shirts by:
● Cutting pieces of cotton flannel to exact size of
depression in padding.
● Feathering edges of the flannel.
● Fitting those pieces under padding in the
depressions.
The life cycle of nylon air bags can be extended if
sprayed with water and pressed between heads
(without a shirt on the buck) three times at every
break.
Dressing techniques used by the operator can also
produce rapid local wear or permanent distortion of air
bags.
NOTE: An operator that “saws” the collar in
dressing a buck will often wear out the yoke bag on
each side of collar clamp. If wear of this kind
occurs, spraying these local areas with silicone
spray is recommended. Silicone spray is available
in aerosol cans from most hardware stores.
