ABSTRACT:
A reflective heat transfer combination and the method of making same whereby a tacky mixture of tack wax and mineral spirits defines a carrier layer applied over a paper substrate capable of absorbing the carrier layer when melted in response to heat and disposing a layer of glass beads over the carrier layer and forcing the glass beads into the carrier layer and against the paper substrate while allowing portions of the beads to be exposed above the carrier layer. A liquid binder layer of acrylic plastic is disposed around the beads and over the carrier layer while leaving portions of the beads exposed and is dried to retain the beads in position. Thereafter a liquid reflective coat of acrylic plastic is applied over the binder layer and covering the beads to provide a reflective background for reflecting light back through the beads. While the reflective coat is liquid and before being dried, a powdered adhesive is disposed over the reflective coat and thereafter the reflective coat is dried. The transfer is applied to an article, such as an article of clothing, by placing the reflective coat with the powdered adhesive therein against the article and applying heat and pressure to the paper substrate whereby the tacky carrier layer melts and is absorbed into the paper substrate while at the same time the powdered adhesive melts and bonds to the article whereby the beads are exposed upon removal of the paper substrate with the carrier layer absorbed thereinto.
