Try waxing the needle. It keeps it cooler, and keeps the gum from sticking
as well. If you're running a large job, you'll be waxing fairly frequently.
Cheers,

Hey guys,
I haven't experienced this as a problem yet but a customer of mine has...
What are the tricks to reducing gumming on the needles when doing small
lettering using sticky backing???
I would think it has to do with the grade of sticky backing. I'm going to
bring this customer a sample of what we use to see if this doesn't fix his
problem.
I think I recall someone saying to place something on top of the garment -
like maybe solvy or saran wrap? Not sure. I just ran six hats last night,
designs on both sides using sticky backing and fast frames and didn't have
any gumming issues.
(It's got to be the backing.)
Thanks,
