HI All

Thanks for such speedy feedback on getting transfer paper designs onto a
flat piece of plastic (and keeping it flat). For what it's worth, I was
asked to create a knight's shield for a client to match the design on an
AFO I'd made.

What works best, although honestly all suggestions were tried, is to take
the plastic and heat normally until clear. Add transfer paper design as
usual. Remove paper, take plastic and flip, transfer side down, onto a
larger than plastic size sheet of either plywood or glass. This glass is
sitting on your foot orthotic vacuum table. Cover the plastic with the
rubber bladder and apply vacuum. Working quickly place another flat sheet
of plywood on top of the rubber bladder, place a heavy object on top of
that and let cool. This technique yields a very smooth transfer side
surface and a pretty good surface on the non-transfer side. Of course,
any hot surface is sprayed with silicone.

Thanks for all of your suggestions and be happy to think that we've made
another young client happy!!
