I tried to use the blue heat press today, the one that @dorine donated. I couldn’t seem to make it work at all. It’s possible that I was just being stupid but I’ve used it a couple of times before and remember it being very straightforward.

This time the numbers on the display just seemed to be jumping around all over the place, seemingly not related to the button presses, the heating light would never come on and it never heated up.

I didn’t put an out of order sign on it or anything because I haven’t ruled out that I was just being stupid. Maybe someone could lend a second pair of eyes and confirm?

Thanks

Thanks Dorine, in my haste I didn’t watch the video properly. I’ll try again next time, I was probably just pressing the wrong thing
