    x-marks tshirt warning - do not iron

    I made a huge mistake just a second ago. My wife has gotten me in the habit of pressing just about everything I wear, including t-shirts. I applied my iron to My new X-marks t-shirt, and the white ink started to smudge! I know this happens with some types of ink, so it is my fault for nothing thinking before I ironed.

    good news is, I managed to "erase" the ink. If you have run into this problem yourself, here is how I fixed it.

    1. let the iron get nice and hot.
    2. rub the bottom of the tip of the iron on the smudge. DO NOT put the iron on the x-marks logo, or the shirt will be ruined.
    3. move the iron in small circles over the smudge until it dissapears.

    I'm guessing the ink is either picked up by the iron, or mashed into the shirt. Either way it dissappears.

    BE VERY CAREFUL. These x-marks shirts are awesome. Don't ruin them. If you must press it, put a towel over it.
