DIY Car Magnet with Oracal 651, Laminate Sheet & Sublimation | How to Sublimate a Car Magnet | Hack

Sublimation Car Magnets
**UPDATE** Make sure to round your edges to prevent the magnet from flying off of your car. You don't want any of the oracal/image going beyond the borders.

I liked the video, but there were too many ads and it was definitely geared towards someone who knows a lot of these processes. Especially with the Adobe program and heat applying the laminate onto the white Orocal 651. The processes to create the image was too fast and limited. I wish you were more informative and were clear about showing exactly what you were doing. Just my opinion, but based on this video, I did not subscribe to your channel because there was just too much missing.

[@CraftableThings]

that's unfortunate...guess you actually didn't like it. There are several Adobe videos on KZbin that could assist. Per the title, this video is not about adobe...however, I briefly covered it. As far as the process, I'm not sure if you actually watched this video...but thanks for giving feedback and not subscribing.

[@artbyedward]

This was a very good video. Although you can sub directly to the white oracal 651, the color end up being muted. They don't pop. I never thought to put laminate on top of the oracal so the colors will pop. Fantastic! On a side note. The reason it doesn't pop when directly applied to the white oracal is because the sublimation ink adheres to the bonding agent of the substrate which on the back side of the white oracal. With the laminate, it sits on top.

[@AWINningCombination]

Oh now see you outdid yourself with this one 😍 not even halfway through yet, but I’m like Patrice showed out on those. This is AMAZING! Now this video made me want an ET15000. 😍

Any other suggestions you can offer? Do you think I need a lower temp?

Hello! Great video! I watched when you first posted it brought everything I needed to do this project, but I am just now getting to it. 🙃 I came back to get a refresher on what to do, and I notice you mentioned to round the edges in your notes as an update. How are the edges rounded?

[@CraftableThings]

yes, I prefer Illustrator. It is more user friendly to me.

[@sallypoultney4331]

Does oracal 651 come in white glitter? If so, could you have sublimated on it without adding the thermal laminate? Just wondering. Love what you made.

[@CraftableThings]

Yes, a permanent glitter vinyl should work without lamination.

[@ellanora6164]

Love it. Did you say the laminate is on top then press it

[@CraftableThings]

Thank you! That is correct. Feel free to rewatch it to be certain.

Hi I bought some uv laminate in a roll .

[@CamilaZavala]

Is the outdoor durability guaranteed though? I know for a fact the vinyl is but how does the ink hold op on it ?

[@raquelmonita]

Hello only a week in this, am glad I came across this video. I was a little lost. Did you put the laminate and the Oracle on heat press 1st then you press the photo on top? Hope you cna get back.

[@CraftableThings]

Hi Raquel! Yes, I did.

[@michaelbirawergallery3692]

Very nice video, thanks! Question - could you print out the image on any printer, laminate that print and lay it on self-stick magnet material? Just curious if you think that would work as well.

[@CraftableThings]

Yes you can! I'd use a UV laminate sheet.

[@michaelbirawergallery3692]

@@CraftableThings Excellent! Thanks for the quick response!

[@anthonysturrup8187]

Great job as usual, I had the same ? as one of the other commenters. Was the laminate used for more stability?

[@CraftableThings]

Thank you! No, I don't believe the magnet can be subbed on directly (I haven't tried). I know for certain that the laminate can be subbed on. Now, it's possible that the oracal 651 isn't needed. I'm going to try it without it. I'm just not sure how it will hold up under the heat.

[@michelledriscoll9133]

Can't 651 be sublimated without the laminate or have you found laminate to hold up better?

[@CraftableThings]

@@michelledriscoll9133 Yes, Laminate holds up better and is more vibrant than subbing directly on the 651.

[@negretem1]

@@CraftableThings That is what I was thinking - not using the Oracal 651 because the laminate sticks directly to the magnet? And possibly adding another laminate that is UV/Waterproof on top?
