Love this video! The only thing do not shake the polyacrylic, my husband is a professional painter and said never shake always stir this type of paint. I made sure to ask him before I made my ornaments this way!
If I stain my wood then add Polyacrilic can I still sublimate on it? Also where could I purchase glitter sublimation mugs from? Thank you! I love your Video’s
Hi Beverly! Sublimation paper tends to stick to polycrylic coated wood because the heat used to adhere the design starts to melt the polyacrylic . The glitter sublimation mugs were purchased right from Amazon. Thank you for your kind words and if you have any questions, just shout! - Dawn
Thank you for the video. I have watched a few using polycrylic but most forget to mention which one, there are several types ie: gloss, semi-gloss, flat, matte. So which one is highly recommended?
Hi there! Can I use polycrylic on a flat wood bead that I intend to sublimate on? I wish to make a bracelet. I will only put the polycrylic on the side where I'm sublimating, therefore it shouldn't be in direct contact with the skin of the recipient. what are your thoughts? Thank you
Thanks for the information. Question: what kind of paper did you use? Printer? Ink? (There are so many different techniques and I’m a beginner. Details are appreciated.)
That’s really great. Would you put on another coat of poly after you sub if you’re going to hang something outside? Also I have spray Minwax Helmsman Spray. I assume that would work.
Hey Stephanie, I'm not sure about the second coat but I imagine it couldn't hurt. If hanging outside, I would either spray with a UV shield or make sure it's not in direct sunlight, the UV rays will fade the sublimation ink. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I am desperate to find my answer but what kind of paper and what kind of ink are you using? I have been using durabrite in my Epson printer and heat transfer paper (not HTV). 375 degrees for 25 seconds medium pressure on the heat press. Am getting some smearing/blurring and sometimes the paint comes up (but the paint coming up actually looks ok - rustic in appearance)
Hey Linda! This is sublimation ink and sublimation paper. But I have another alternative for you if you are using an inkjet printer: try temporary tattoo paper. I'll link you to a tutorial for a similar project. Hope this helps! ---Becky ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_P9BxYJVZvw.html
I usually use A-Sub paper from Amazon but have recently been using cheaper alternatives for testing (also from Amazon) and so far, they all seem to be working well. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi Becky!! I’m sooo excited!! I’ve been trying to figure out how crafters were getting images on wood lol!!! Can I ask you though - is a “special” sublimation ink or printer needed???
Yes sublimation is a special ink, paper and printer, and a heat press that goes to at least 400f, and only transfers onto polyester or high poly content blends. There are lots of videos about this craft on Google and RU-vid. Enjoy researching!
@@Telessa1974 Thank you Telessa, for your reply!! I do have the 9” Heat Press - I just don’t have the Printer. I’m guessing it’s probably on the “kind-of-expensive” side, as well right?? 😬
@@valeriepanzarella921 You are so welcome. It doesn't have to be. You can covert some ink jet printers. Like those with ecotanks. But once you set it up and get it figured out, you have so much fun. T-shirts in full color, socks, jewelry, keychains, cozies, keychains, headbands, photos...endless!
You mention acrylic, I am trying everything to try and get a succesful resultwith sublimation on acrylic with no success. I am wantng to sublimate on acrylic circles for cake toppers. please help. thanks :)
Hmmm, I have only heard of this in situations where the wood wasn't dry all the way through. I'll add this to my research list. Thanks for sharing! ---Becky
I stop using it because you really don't get good results as you would with laminated sheets.. And you have to mention the type of wood to get. I found that Birchwood comes the closest to getting a somewhat good result. It does not work well on all wood. I didn't like the way kept sticking that you have to go and wash it off too much of a bother
