## Facts

- **White** powder is almost transparent when melted — suitable for all colours; a slight white cast can remain on black fabric.
- **Black** powder is for pressing onto **black** fabric.
- Smoother fabric → **finer** powder (better bond and stretch). Coarse on smooth fabric feels thick/hard; very fine on jeans can peel.
- Let clients test sizes. Stock called out: **H-DTF/BLACK**, **H-DTF/WHITE/S**, **H-DTF/WHITE**.
