Turning Polishing Compound stick into a paste

Hi, based upon some comment I read recently, I tried to turn the Polishing Compound from a stick into a paste. I broke off some pieces from the stick and put them in a jar and added some mineral spirits/white spirits/Terpentin, which were supposed to dissolve the compound. So far, nothing much has happened. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? I surmised that the compound was a mixture of abrasives embedded in some kind of liposoluble matrix. Is that wrongo? https://imgur.com/a/HiE61LE

HTVRONT DTF transfers not sticking to t-shirts

Hi, I'm a new HTVRONT owner and have been struggling to peel off my Supacolor DTF wearable transfers. They're not fully attaching to my Bella Canvas 3001 t-shirts. I first tried to press according to Supacolors instructions of 10-15 seconds at 320 but I found that the image was still sticking to the original transfer sheet instead of the shirt so I tried adding more time and adding more pressure. I've had some success but it sometimes takes multiple presses and the transfers are still hard to safely pull off. I've been putting cardboard underneath the press pad to add pressure but now I've reached the maximum cardboard I can fit and my problem is still unresolved. I've also reached the maximum limit of time you can set on the HTVRONT (99 seconds). I've tried doubling the time by pressing once more after the first session which worsens the situation even more because the transfer sheet becomes stiffer. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions which could help?

I made a friendly reminder to drink more water.
