Vintage 70s & 80s Iron-ons...

Have you ever heard of someone successfully transferring one that was 30 to 40 years to a blank new shirt?

I know most iron-ons are usually viable from 1-3 years (the backing paper, etc.) but with modern tech today can it be done with much older ones?

do you have more than one that you can experiment with?

I also think that it doesn't matter if someone else has done it because each transfer may be different. I think the only thing you can do is try it and hope for the best. I hated iron on transfers because I always got one section that I couldn't get to stick.

R2 I haven't bought any yet. If it's too high a risk then I won't purchase any. I'm waiting on some feedback to solve my dilemma.

There are a couple of shops online who sell vintage iron-ons and have instructions on how to use them, so I would assume they still work.

I'd definitely try with an iron-on you don't care so much about first.
