Cissell CAB438C Padding, NOTE: Replace worn flannel with thirty ounce

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.

Operation

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.
