MakersLAB.TV S2E15 - Hot Summer Is Here! Make Cooling Beach Ice Towels Step by Step Easy Guide
Cooling Towels made from Polyester
Riley shows you the step by step procedure on how to manufacture cooling towels in the comfort of your own space. He used Advanced Machinery’s FastCOLOUR large format printer to do this.
He began creating the design on software before he printed it on vinyl using the FastCOLOUR Large Format Printer that he purchased from Advanced Machinery.
Once printing is done, he pressed the vinyl onto polyester sports material making use of a roll to roll printer.
The reason behind him going for polyester is that It is non-absorbent in nature, which simply implies that sweat is not absorbed by this cloth but left to dry up on its own. This is great for those hot summer days.
This material is also known to be cool naturally and it remains cool also.
An additional benefit is that is extremely durable and wrinkle-resistant.
What follows next is the stitching of the material in order to hold both sides.
When sublimation is done, Riley makes use of a sewing machine to sew together pieces on both sides.
There you go. Done.
Now all you have to do is to dip your towel into cool or iced water. It usually stays cold for a sustained period of time.
