Dye Sublimation On Wood 6 Ways

[@virginiaphillips1306]

Thank you for all your time and mistakes. I learn better that way. Now, I know the best way to do it.

[@aprilk.7497]

LOVE the "Noteable Notebook" :) Funny! Your shop looks like an awesome place to work!

[@rogersshop]

Thanks. It is usually a mess, of sorts, and I don't "pretty-it-up" for videos...........All real-life!

[@roxannepowers7757]

Hi Roger. I have watched your videos and have learned so much. Thank you for teaching us these methods. I noticed your 3D printers in the background, my husband and son do 3D printing. Love the little blue guy by the last one.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

I just came across your video today while researching heat presses. I have watched some more of your videos and love to listen to you. Thank you for sharing. I have learned a lot from them. I am new to sublimation and am looking for something to do when I retire to supplement our income. This was a great help in researching both heat press and sublimating. Loved listening to your voice too. Thank you so much. :-)

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks for the great video & testing. Dollar Tree has bamboo cutting boards, have you ever tried using bamboo?

[@rogersshop]

Yes, but not for sublimation (yet), only laser engraving: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqbbhIB-qK9_e5o The Dollar Tree stores here are out of the cutting boards right now. I bought them all............

[@normazaharioudakis4224]

Hello, you were right, even though I knew you know way better I still tried to sublimate on my Michael s coasters failed big time thank you for your help.

Thank you so much for create this video to us. You so smart.

Thank you! I also love the notebook... I too suffer from crs!😁

[@AcheronKeres]

Love the videos. I would love to see you play Ward Allan's Back To The Sugar Camp if you get the time.

[@rogersshop]

I actually had to watch my video to see where I referenced that I was a fiddle player! It is difficult to post any music to a video that is not already KZbin approved or you get a "copyright strike". Found this out the hard way! I am familiar with the tune, though.

[@Teresa-L.2024]

I'm just venturing into sublimation. A couple of questions: 1. Can you hot peel the sublimation paper off right out of the press to avoid sticking? Other projects I've seen the paper is peeled off immediately. 2. Have you tried a regular craft acrylic or chalk paint as the base coat, then apply the clear laminate? Wondering if that paint would hold up to the heat. 3. Was your poly varnish pine colored? What if you used clear? How much of a difference does using matte, satin, or gloss make to the finished image? 4. For wood with imperfections I assume you could cover successfully with a poly-651-laminate trilayer? Maybe a good way to reuse those imperfect laser projects?

[@rogersshop]

1. Depends on the project as a hot peel can cause ghosting, especially on ceramics. 2. Craft acrylic will blister. Have not tried chalk paint, but can see where it would not react that way. 3. Clear poly still has an amber tint. More so with Marine poly and that is where the amber cast comes from. Polycrylic does not have that amber color and works well as a sublimation base on "most" hard materials. 4. Might work if air bubbles are controlled.

I like the wooden one the best my grandparents had lots of stuff in their house with that vintage look ( their stuff was from the 40s), recipe card holders, wall plaques, jewelry boxes, etc. There are no gnomes just fishing, log cabin, and rooster/farmhouse designs " no it's not on " lol

[@rogersshop]

I had that "vintage look" sign at a pop up craft fair last weekend and the first person that saw it, bought it. Then asked if I had any more.............. Guess I need to pursue this avenue!

[@rogersshop]

@@pietpompiepompiepiet940 It is better to have a base coat of poly for best adhesion. Laminate to raw wood does adhere, but not very well.

Goo-Gone, Goof-Off, or try a citrus peel.

[@susanmorris769]

I did a white-tiled exactly like you said and it comes out faded looking what am I doing wrong and what is that white paper

[@rogersshop]

Sublimation paper. If you are using regular copy paper, results will be much less vibrant.

[@angelalloyd]

Just curious have you ever tried sublimating on epoxy? Curious?

[@rogersshop]

No, but may try it out if I can find an epoxy with a polyester base.

[@angelalloyd]

Thankyou for responding ... I thought it might be worth a try .. I tested Kamar Spray varnish works awesome!@@rogersshop

[@KellyCrotteau]

Try using rust-Oleum frosted glass spray. A few coats with about 5-10 minutes in between coats then let dry about 30 min. Then you can sublimate right to it if you like a matte look.

[@amberlindsey7112]

I am glad you mentioned this. I saw someone sublimating on to some frosted glass items they purchased that way. I wondered then if my frosted spray paint I have would work then.

[@bedell74]

Have you tried the aminate than 651 and than laminate again? thank you for the videos.

[@rogersshop]

I took a look at what they have, and while interesting, I'm not going to buy one as it would not fit into what we produce. If they were to give me one to review and demonstrate, I would.

How long does the laminate stay on the wood? Does it start to peel?

[@rogersshop]

Since not outdoors, no problem. if used outdoors, in sun, a protective coating is suggested.

[@Yavuzyx]

you are the best

[@Linneydenise]

Can I sublimate on any 4ounce glass jar? Or do I need a special type of glass jar? I have just found you today and I have already watched 3 of your videos. You are an expert and I love hear to hear from the experts

[@rogersshop]

The glass either needs to have a pre-installed coating for sublimation or you will need to coat it first. There are several products available for this, but application can be a bit tricky to prevent brush marks. The best way is to use an airbrush. After coating, the items need to be cured in an oven, then cooled. Once cooled, the graphic, printed on sublimation paper with sublimation ink can be applied in a heat press or in an oven with a silicone wrap.

[@Linneydenise]

@@rogersshop Wow thank you so much. So I can sublimate any glass jar of any size if I do what you said uptop? I want to sublimate 4 ounce glass jars . Do you have a video showing this process on a regular glass jar treatment process?

What is the best way to trim the excess laminate off the wood item. I've tried exacto knife and a heat gun around the edges and still can't get it clean.

[@rogersshop]

SHARP knife on a cutting mat, along with patience.

[@CraftyInes]

When you re-sanded the one that you had already sprayed with clear urethane, did you have to re-spray? Didn’t re-sanding to 400 erase the urethane?

[@rogersshop]

It would take A LOT of sanding with a 400 grit to remove the urethane coat already sprayed.

[@rogersshop]

@@sharonfranklin8522 I did not start into the different craft branches until I retired in 2019. Prior to that, my job and our nursery kept me so busy that there was no time. I did a lot of wood-craft items in the 1980's until we got the big influx of cheap stuff from China. That pretty much killed the market back then for us at craft shows and there was very little "Internet".

What if you paint white and then put the urethane and then sublimate?

I have not trialed this outdoors for any long period of time yet. I do assume that colors will fade over time when exposed to the sun. Indoors, there should be no issues.

Roger can you tell me why my platin on my tussy press isnt staying in place i didnt know how to email you to ask

[@rogersshop]

I assume you are referring to the base (?). Make sure it is aligned straight with the rails. It can be put in mis-aligned and that would cause it to move around. If it is the top, check that the mounting screws are tight.

Would you try spray polycrylic? I use the liquid one on wood and it sublimates well. I’m curious about the spray.

I always spray. This prevents brush strokes or marks. I have used both the aerosol can and my own HVLP spray system. Same results.

Love your videos, just found them! Quick question, can you sublimate on glass using laminate?

Yes, but permanent outdoor vinyl such as Oracle 651 or 751 will give better results as the laminate tends to "not stay put" on glass.

[@tinaarmstrong2216]

On oracal 651, does it have to be just white ? Or can I use purple ?

Roger, I tried the very last method (Vinyl, laminate, then graphic) and the graphics wont transfer at all.

Any permanent outdoor vinyl works, even that from Dollar Tree. HTV is not suitable for this. I did a video recently comparing four different brands of vinyl for sublimation.
