Thank you for making this easy to understand.

[@kathyd6812]

Thank you for the video...it's such a great idea. I'm going to give it a go this weekend.

Fantastic, thank you for sharing the knowledge

[@RusticatedArt]

Really helpful Roger, I'm just starting with sublimation, waiting for my heat press to arrive!!😊Robbie🔔

[@yourunclesam6780]

Nice video.I will try your methods. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@deborahdececca605]

Thank you I appreciate what you do. I have been looking to do this.

[@lindastarzenski8770]

Thank you. I like laminate better as it’s also easier. I bought wood already laminated and ready to go but this way can buy sizes and shapes best fit me

[@jimmyfavereau]

Thanks Roger :D

[@jessicabello8615]

Have you ever tried this with a matte finish laminate sheet? I appreciate the tutorial - very helpful for someone just starting out. Keeps us from wasting money trying different methods!

[@rogersshop]

Yes, but I prefer the gloss finish. Matte works just as well.

[@vickifowler5069]

Hi Roger.... will self stick laminate work or does it have to be thermal laminate..... I bought self stick but haven't tried it yet. Thank you!

[@ClownfishDepot]

Cool vidoe. Thanks for sharing. For the laminate one I can see extra laminate on the edge. Is there a way to take that off so it can't be seen?

[@rogersshop]

I trimmed it off with a craft knife (XACTO) later

[@sweetlyevil187]

👏🏼👏🏼

[@youcancreateit]

Would you decrease heating time for thinner wood? Thanks and your videos are really helpful and clear and easy to understand.

[@rogersshop]

No. Time remains the same

[@youcancreateit]

@@rogersshop Thanks so much!!!

[@pugglemama]

Hello! Love this video. Will the laminate peel off? Is that ink permanent too?

[@rogersshop]

The laminate will not peel off if kept indoors. I haven't tried this outdoors, but I would think that the UV from the sun would break it down over time. The ink is permanent once sublimated.

[@jeffnewcombe51]

Roger do you mind saying what printer you use for sublimation? Thanks and I like your videos and your detailed instructions!

[@rogersshop]

Epson 2720 and Sawgrass SG 1000

[@johnpierce5735]

Roger, Can you tell me the time and temp for sublimating on acrylic ? Is 385 @ 60 seconds a good place to start?

[@jakesatz]

hey i was wondering if you knew which 3m film you used on the wood?

[@tims6376]

Hello roger

[@mariashivone8678]

Can you do the laminate with a home iron? I don't have access to a heat press.

[@rogersshop]

It can also be done with a Cricut Easy Press if you keep firm pressure. Never tried it with an iron, but if attempting, make sure the project is small enough to fit under the iron.

[@diane6301]

Would the lamination method work on canvas boards that are around 4mm thick? Thanks!

[@rogersshop]

Yes. I'vew done this on canvas many times using Laminate.

[@diane6301]

@@rogersshop Thanks!

[@sworley1956]

For the polychrylic you said you applied, sand, applied again, sand again and apply again how do you know that you're not standing off the polycyclic

[@rogersshop]

A light sanding with 220 grit paper to knock down any small "bumps" or air bubbles. Same method as when finishing furniture.

[@LarryDMitchell]

Do you do the printing yourself or have someone do it for you?

[@rogersshop]

Done here. Either on a converted Epson 2720 or our Sawgrass SG1000, depending on size.

[@NJS7770]

Are you using wax parchment paper?

[@rogersshop]

No. I never use wax coated paper on any heat transfer project.

[@siouxareaparanormal4244]

Do you recommend using 3 Mil laminate or 5 Mil?

[@rogersshop]

I use the 3 mil.

[@siouxareaparanormal4244]

Great, because I ordered 200 of them LOL@@rogersshop

[@casandrastephenson-iw9um]

Does the laminate go blurry after 12 months

[@rogersshop]

No. But it will fade if in direct sunlight.
