@Maustiffany 4 года назад

Brand new to all this. I used vinyl on a sign and sealed with resin. Really good to know about the htv for the future!

I always polycrylic or modge podge and then stick my vinyl. Never had a problem. But now I want to try the iron on!

@PookyMoreno1983 Год назад

Well, that was my bright idea for my current project and it is NOT working out for me. It's like the transfer tape is too sticky and won't let go of the vinyl. What am I doing wrong?

@Eclecticajewels Год назад

I briefly thought about using HTV on wood signs but never tried to……yet. I wasn’t aware of the difference in characteristics with HTV as opposed to regular vinyl and now after seeing your tutorial, I am informed. So, TFS your expertise with all of us. (PS Being that I’m a Northerner, I just have to say I LOVE your accent!! Lol, that Southern accent is just so relaxing imho - I know that might sound silly of me but, for me it makes listening to your tutorial MORE interesting😊)

@tahomyjo 3 года назад

You mention that the vinyl just won't stay on the wood and that's why you have to seal it with polycrylic BUT if you sealed the wood first with the polycrylic then add your vinyl it will stick ....I have 3 signs in my home that are approx 5 to 4 yrs old that the vinyl is still stuck very good ...I did use 651.

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

Yes we recommend that as well :)

@maryanntoffoletto9363 4 года назад

QUESTION: WHEN USING HTV ON WOOD PRODUCTS THAT NEED TO BE WASHED OR RINSED AFTER USE, HOW WELL DOES THE HTV STAY ON? FOR EXAMPLE, A Charcuterie board may need to be washed or rinsed after use? 💜

@ilyrivera7297 4 года назад

Great question. I’ve wondered that myself.

@michellerainey6612 4 года назад

Watch the recent charcuterie board video. They say that if you allow polycrylic to cure for 30 days, the FDA deems that food safe. You can use HTV or vinyl.

@jillb7234 4 года назад

How will the HTV withstand being outside? I use Oracal. 651 for my signs and have no problems at all with repositioning on my projects!

@blkbrn1952 3 года назад

So would HTV work on painted wood? And if yes what type of paint is best? I am getting ready to do a project and was planning on painting the wood first using acrylic craft paint, Apple Barrel brand.

@rebekahgee5133 Год назад

This video was so helpful!!! Thank you.

@ebikemaine 3 года назад

Couple things to help. HTV on wood, you can use a heat press, use a bigger paint brush.

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

We do not recommend using a heat press for this. See, wood is not perfectly flat or smooth so a larger press can't easily reach all of the uneven areas of the wood, so it will take much more patience to get into all the grooves enough for the Iron-On to stick to the wood :)

@Joani161 2 года назад

You would be able to cut on it, I'm sure you know. If using for decoration only you would not need to seal. Resin is safe with food if serving on it. Watch her "What You Should Absolutely Never Do When You Iron on Wood"

Do you use it on wood your painted like with chalk paint?

@@katef6611 i have not tried it on painted wood, only on raw wood but if you seal the chalk paint first and use a mini press or smaller iron it would probably be fine. Just go slow and make sure your heat isn't up too high.

Question, instead of staining this after the vinyl has been put on, could contact paper be used instead to cover the entire image to keep the H TV in place?

@rosiespalletco5224 3 года назад

I have stained wood ready for HTV but i want to seal with an oil for outdoor use. Is this best before the HTV, after HTV or not at all. Oil tends to rub off any kind adhesive in my experience. Thanks

This helps so much! I always get nervous trying to place the regular vinyl as I'm a perfectionist and want it centered perfectly, so HTV is what I'll be using from now on! Quick question so I can finish using the regular vinyl I have on hand--when you are done sealing with the poly, what do you clean your brush with so it's super clean and ready for your next project?

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

So glad it's helped you! We still use regular vinyl many times a week, but we do love HTV. So, we just rinse our brushes off as soon as we use them with warm water for several minutes. Also, make sure the poly is water based and not oil based :) Best of luck!

@JackiLeaWWP 3 года назад

we do a lot of refinishing. I keep a canning jar (with lid) on the table with water and a little dish soap to rinse the brushes. Gently agitate and rinse out really well. Blot dry with a shop rag or towel and hang your brush or upside down in the jar so your bristles have free movement and don't dry all crazy ;) I've been using the same three brushes for the last 5 years.

@katiehanners6814 2 года назад

Try using a tennis ball over the project after burnishing it before you peal for bigger projects on wood. It works wonderful!!! Helps adhesive stick to the wood way better

Any recommendations? How about the printable HTV? How well does that apply to wood? Anything to consider with regards to wood types and thicknesses? Can you stain or paint prior to applying? Thanks.

If I am applying the HTV to raw wood (unpainted or unfinished) do you think it needs to be sealed? My problem is the sealant changes the color of the wood a little. If you recommend sealing is there one you recommend that doesn't change the color?

Good question! We always recommend sealing if possible, but we understand the discoloring issue. We recommend Outdoor Mod Podge: amzn.to/3hgRn0I :)

Can I use HTV on a wood sign that will be outdoors or will the heat/weather affect the HTV? Would I need to seal the wood afterwards for outdoor use?

We recommend sealing anything that is going outdoors :)

Any reason I can’t use my easy press 2 to do a project like yours?

My welcome signs with reg vinyl after a month start melting from sun exposure. Would this be my way to go?

Yes, try this!! :)

I have 9 sign outside for about 6 weeks. They look great. With lots of sunshine and a lot of rain. Just let it set for 48 hours, before I put it outside. No sealer.
