[@ShakaBrandsLLC]

The oven is the way to go. maybe its a personal preference but I tape from the middle out. I dont tape the top edge because I use silicone bands around the tumbler. you can't do this with a tumbler press though. the oven is great.

Brilliant to put the seam on its side, in the press. My tumbler press is being delivered today. My old Cricut Mug Press has been losing its heat in some spots, so I looked to buy a replacement. Wow, have tumbler presses come down in price! My new press (with hundreds of reviews) is about 2/3rds the price.

Hello...I must say I love this video!!! I am just starting to get into the tumbler world. I signed up on your page to get the free Canva template with the torn edges but have not received the email of the design. I would love to get started with the design you created for my 1ST tumbler🥰❣

[@AngieHolden]

Try emailing [e-mail] and we will help you!

[@sheryltupa4289]

Great video, Angie. I love the tip on putting the thin piece of tape and then overlapping. Worked great! I'm still getting some small white blotches on the top rim of my tumblers though, even though I taped the way you showed. I'm pretty sure the pressure on my tumbler press is right. Is there anything else it could be? I'm using Hiipoo tumblers from Amazon.

[@AngieHolden]

Some tumblers are definitely tapered more than others. You might try measuring in several places to make sure it is not getting smaller near the top.

[@ponyexpressgraphicsfm]

This is wonderful. Thank you so much. Do you have, or can you make, a video to make sublimation mugs using the tumbler press? I found a video you did with the cricut press. But I couldn't find one where you use the tumbler press. I think 2 can fit in at one time?

[@AngieHolden]

Yep you can! I have done it but I am not even sure which video it was! But yes two at a time.

[@trishturner7026]

Hi Angie, really love your KZbin’s and get so much from them. I have a Cricut mug press however I am wanting to do more than just tumblers so it has left me wondering if it would be worthwhile getting a tumbler press which does mugs as well and selling my Cricut mug press.

[@trishturner7026]

Oops! forgot to ask where did you get the stretchy heat resistant tape from? I couldn’t find it listed in your links with other supplies. I already have some heat resistant tape for sublimation but not sure if it is stretchy or not and I live in Australia so not all products are available here.

[@AngieHolden]

I have done tumblers in the mug press. I find the tumbler press does more things easier but it is large and cumbersome. I would say you can get an oven instead for more flexibility.

[@trishturner7026]

@@AngieHolden Hi Angie, Thank you for your reply and advice. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of space but on the upside one of my suppliers here in Australia has a tumbler/mug press for about the same value & size as the Cricut mug press. Therefore I am thinking of selling my Cricut mug press and investing in the tumbler/mug press. Thank you once again for all your great tutorials and keep up the great work. Happy 4th of July for tomorrow.

[@yearofthedragontarot5554]

Hey, great video, very thorough, but I have questions about the setup for the printer? Like the specific's from the printing window? What are those specific's? I've watched quite a few videos, but everyone zooms through those settings. I really appreciate your help. I think we have almost the exact same set up, but my designs are not coming out the right size, and intensity. So it's really frustrating. I appreciate your help! Keep posting, great videos, and again, very thorough. I appreciate the details.

[@AngieHolden]

I do not. Those would be more difficult just due to their shape.

[@annettepapa4099]

Angie, can you try using shrink wrap with the tumbler? My tape always puckers the bottom and top. With the heat shrink help??

[@AngieHolden]

I have done this same thing with the shrink wrap. I will say if you get it REALLY tight, you shouldn't have puckering. That also depends on the tumbler and if they are slightly tapered.

[@belleb906]

Nothing is going to show up on navy blue well. Infusible Ink is transparent so the base color will show through. You may be able to see black but it won't be very bold.

Hi Angie, I just watched your video and I just can't wait to make my first tumbler. But first I have to order the supplies and I noticed on your Echomerx tape dispenser, you have larger rolls of heat tape, your link to cricut heat tape shows small rolls.
