I enjoyed watching because the video started off letting you know where various point's of interest were. Furthermore, you might consider using a Monochrome, or Black and White photo as well as consider the direction of the wood grain. I learned a lot the way you presented your information. It was informative, concise and left room for opinion and growth!

@@LucasMoore thank you for this tutorial. How would I go about this if I am transferring a laser image to acrylic painted wood slice? Could I seal it with a coat of the polycrylic let it dry- then do another coat for transfer?

How much pressure do you use to remove the paper? I’ve watched several videos and nobody seems to say that. Your video is the most informative and glad that I was able to find it. Thank you.

This is great! Thanks! Can this be used on a wood board that will be placed outdoors, so subject to rain, snow, and other midwest weather?

@trudyeby464 2 года назад

Thank you for the hint about taking the paper off in several layers. The other video I watched didn't mention that and I went in too hard and took off the ink :(

@kiranali8849 3 года назад

Hi . Thankyou so much ! I loved it ! This was really helpful ! I tried it on wood and the result was really good . What about other materials though ? I painted tin and tried to do on that and it didn’t succeed . Ink didn’t stay on . Do you think it’s a bad idea to do it on other materials ? Are there any tips you have for those ?

@pamelataylorcather2671 3 года назад

Thanks. Great video. I was wondering. I already have some polycyclic “spray”. Do you think that would work?

@stevestultz1204 3 года назад

Thank you for this video! When I tried this the paper seemed to bubble a little after I smoothed it down and it was too wet to smooth out again without tearing it. Any suggestions on how to fix that or is it normal?

@BB-wx6kf 3 года назад

Thank you so much - one of the best instructables I've seen! I am tempted to try it. Completely off topic, but noticed your sofa...is it a Hans Olsen (Danish mid-century)? I have two Hans Olsen lounge chairs that look just the same - the rosewood arms (and typically chrome/nylon strapping at the back) are quite distinctive features.

@LucasMoore 3 года назад

Hey thanks for watching and commenting. I don’t think that the sofa is a Hans Olsen. We got it off Wayfair so I would say it’s definitely nothing too fancy haha.

@mrapma 3 года назад

Does the finished project fade or yellow over time? Thank you for the video!

@matthewturner1214 4 года назад

Awesome video man, although my main problem when trying this myself is getting all the bubbles from under the paper. As soon as the paper touches the wood it wrinkles and creases when I try to smooth it out. Is this because I’m using too much polycrylic?

@trouble32179 4 года назад

I wish I could share my failures. I have tried and tried to transfer with the polly. I have done a thin coat, a thick coat, and everything in between. I have waited any were from 1 hour to 28 hours. Every time 60 - 90% of the photo runs off with the paper. Ppl please, any suggestions would be SO helpful!!

@stephanebesson9393 3 года назад

@kctsp6631 3 года назад

This was a very good video. I inkjet printed some pictures and was just curious if the polycrylic would go through the paper photo and ruin it, but I guess I'll just have to see if it does, lol. Thank you for sharing.

@LucasMoore 3 года назад

Hey thanks for watching! That’s a pretty interesting thought. I’m not 100% sure what would happen, but my guess would be that it probably will go through the paper and mess up the ink. Let me know what happens if you do try it! 😃

@the-papaw 4 года назад

Have you tried doing the print on a wax paper or the glossy side of a sheet of labels (without labels of course). I have seen others doing it but not using polycrylic.

@fionnlive6395 4 года назад

Hey, looks fantastic, i'm trying to create one myself, what were the dimensions of the wood in your last photo? And how did you create the frame? Amazing finishing touch it would be for the gift i'm trying to create! 0 woodworking knowledge!haha

@Cardiopatiaargentica Год назад

Do you know if this would fade away with rain? Wanna use this technique for some outdoor exhibition

@cndbrn7975 3 года назад

Nice, I think after the 2nd rub just take a damp sponge. It looks like you rubbed the ink off in the upper right corner.

@peachyness17 2 года назад

I tried various papers. Let’s see if I put enough polycrylic on

@soiisinne7647 2 года назад

Have you tried coating the print, also, with polycrylic? I’m wondering if that would result in a more complete transfer.

@charlottesmith229 2 года назад

Amazing! Very very cool. Do you know if this would work on already lightly oiled bamboo?

@LucasMoore 2 года назад

Thanks so much Charlotte! I don’t think I’d know for sure if it would work, but my guess would be that it wouldn’t. I don’t think the ink could make it through the oil, but maybe if it’s light enough it just may work. 👍🏼

@90210spitfire 3 года назад

I used the minwax matte polycrylic to adhere my picture to cedar plank. I have tried to take all the paper off in five or six steps but when it dries it's completely cloudy. Did I put too much polycrylic on? It doesn't look like it's cloudy from the paper but rather cloudy from something else

Minwax polycrylic water based sealer. Gloss is shiny, satin is less shiny.

@caroteicher 3 года назад

Hi Lucas, or someone here, have you ever white wash the wood block before transferring? thanks!

@natalieevans3298 4 года назад

Hey, thanks for posting. I just tried this and when gently rubbing the paper off most of the ink came off also. I used pine, polycrylic and a laser printed photo.

@Pesymista2023 4 года назад

try ink printed, not laser

@69spanks 3 года назад

Same here, but I used an ink jet printer. Most of the ink rubbed right off with the paper. Ended up using tattoo paper.

@Thelonious2Monk 2 года назад

Same here. Used inkjet and paint rubbed off with paper. It seems that the type of wood also matters.

@5.56Chronicles 4 года назад

I’m interested in doing this on a guitar body. Also the ink not staying could be from the wood being closed cell or open...

@LucasMoore 4 года назад

Woah that would be so cool, I would love to see how that turns out! That's an interesting point, tbh I don't know much about that I will have to learn about the cells thanks for the tip 👍

@jaxonweninger9541 4 года назад

@soleoption581 2 дня назад

i've noticed when doing it this way , a fair amount of the image rubs off with the paper. Is there any step i'm missing or rushing that you've found could cause this?

@sheriff808 4 года назад

Question... want to transfer a photo onto a black painted (store bought) frame. Will this method work for something painted and already finished? If you have an email I can send example, but basically I am going to take a picture and extend the picture into the frame. Maybe you can visualize? Picture, surrounded by a mat, but the edges of the picture extend beyond the mat onto the frame. Preferably a painted black frame. Think night shot, a mat to isolate the picture, then a frame to extend the edges of the picture. Black frame for darkness of night but color image added to it to extend the picture... I hope that makes sense?.?.
