To get rid of the bubbles use a little blow torch to pop them as in when you use resin

[@atprints]

Thanks for your comment. However, Polygloss is a bit different to resin. You have to be very careful when using the heat as you can burn it or offset the curing process. So to get ride of the bubbles you allow it to sit for more time than needed and also you put it in the oven to cure and it will settle out itself.

[@mjayy00]

Great video! I love how you explained every step in details. I tried using this on my blanks. I used high heat white spray paint to sublimate on them & the poly gloss bleeds through the print of the wrap design. I used a very thin layer and made sure it dried. Can you tell me why is this or what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question and sorry for the late response. My first question to you would be, did you sand or remove the old image from the previous item before spraying it with the heat paint? If you did not sand or remove the old image first, what will happen is that once you apply the heat paint, polygloss and sublimate the item, the old image will bleed through. Take a look at this video where I explained how to redo used tumblers 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ3Eh6OXnJikf6Msi=vcrwSt6-tFF9rrIe If what i commented isnt what you were asking or referring to please let me know so i can address the correct concern.

[@ak4710001]

Can I do this on borosilicate glass? you're video is amazing!!!

[@atprints]

It’s worth a try and it should work. I have not tried it as yet but I have to. I think the only problem would be if you are looking to sublimate or print a picture on it you have to find the correct time and temperature as you wouldn’t want the glass to break.

[@leulie6554]

[@atprints]

Thanks for your support and questions and I am so sorry for the late response. You don’t have to put the wood in an oven. Normally for wood you would need to use a heat press or allow it to dry on its own. Please take a look at this video where I used polygloss to sublimate on the wood.

[@atprints]

Thanks for your comment and question. In relation to the question I really do believe you should cure them so that the poly gloss can actually bake in the mug or whatever apparel you maybe using. You can use your mug press if your doing mugs or bottles but it’s important to cure them so the polygloss care bake in the apparel. If you want to see how you can cure them with a mug press you can take a look at this video I did with stainless steel and how I cure them and sublimate onto them - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYKqdIitqMmMg9U I hope this answers your question and helps you 💪

[@dickebk]

Great video. Thank you for your detailed info. I was wondering how well this PolyGloss did. I'm hoping to create/experiment with my own painted blanks onto wood for my laser machine with their other product PolyNatural that is on their site. I saw some comments with being concerned about using a brush and you mentioned use it lightly. What about using the throw away foam brushes or would that cause bubbles? For using wood I would have to preheat the wood blanks anyway before painting it to create the sub blanks to release gas bubbles in the wood. Just wondering what you thought about using a foam brush. Thanks

[@atprints]

Thanks foe your support and comment. Using the solution onto wood works wonderful. I have not tried the Poly Natural as yet but I used the polygloss and paint and I did sublimate onto wood. Check out the video here 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2Xn4eXgbacptk In relation to bubbles and streaks on your wood or whatever you are using the solution on, I always advice to take it gentle and light. Even if you dip a lot of the brush or sponge into the polygloss make sure to pass it light in one motion and you will over come it. When it comes to bubbles if you shake up the product or paint it on to rough you will get bubbles and you can always place someone over it so the bubbles can pop. I hope this helps 👍🏾

[@totokakalou785]

Can you do demo on clear glass? N do you feel the brush strokes or does it come out smooth?

Yes, I will be doing a video on a clear glass. However, the problem will be more if the glass can take the heat and I believe it would look better of the glass is frosted.

great instructions! thanks! Do you now if polycrylic would work too? I have a product that I got at Michaels that is also a poly coating, water base ( pretty much the same ingredients that I might try it later to see if works. quick tip... a little mic would help wonders on your videos, so the audio wouldn't flicker so much! great job! the colors are beautiful for sure!

[@atprints]

Thanks for your comments and support. I tried polycrylic before and to be honest it did not work. When I coated the mug it looked fine, but when I sublimated onto the mug it stuck the paper to the mug and when I wash off the paper to see if the image would stay on, the entire image also came off. But please do update me when you do try it out. I also actually do have a mic but it’s just it was so far in that particular video.

[@denisej.527]

Thank you for sharing.😊 How well do you think this will work on glass?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. I am in the process of trying this method. I do believe it can work on glass but it all depends on the method you use. For example, If you paint the glass and then apply the polygloss, it would surely work. If you just apply the polygloss to the clear glass and then sublimate, I am not sure.

[@AJsMom2000]

Looks great on the video. My question is up close, is it streaky or does it seem textured to the touch, from applying with a brush to the mug? I have a hard time finding sublimation mugs and tumblers in the shapes and sizes that I prefer to use. I don't mind the extra time involved...but, I am picky when it comes to a final product.

[@atprints]

Hi thanks for your comment and question. For the mug I did it is very smooth as if I purchased a sublimation blank mug. If a person applies the poly gloss to hard with the brush it would leave streaks or lines. This is why you have to pass the brush gently over the mug or whatever blank product you want to make into a sublimation product. If you want I’m willing to send you a video so you can actually see it more closer. You can add me on IG @allan21thompson and I can see you pictures and videos of it and much more. In my honest opinion this is going to save you much more money than buying mugs all the time especially if you live in a country where you have to pay shipping and duties. I hope this helped and feel free to ask more questions ✅

[@nomi4560]

Thanks for the video. Do the bubbles pop on their own or is there a process to eliminate the bubbles?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question and for your support. Once you put on your coating give it some time, around 10 minutes to set and try to cover it over. After when you are curing it in the oven the heat will assist with popping those bubbles.

[@user-uh5cy9hu8c]

thank you so much! this is amazing! I have a question though, with this process the plates will be food safe?

[@atprints]

Thanks very much for your comment and support on the channel. Yes, the plate is food-safe. However, I normally recommend you still use it as an ornament. If you use it to eat make sure you don't put it in the oven, dishwasher or microwave as the extreme heat can reactive the polygloss. However, the company did state that its approved and food-safe.

[@zekewheel]

if you do this on tile can you use as hot plate for hot pots? thanks

[@atprints]

Hi, i do believe that it should be able to with stand the hot pots on them. I never tried putting hot stuff or cookware on top the tile before. But once you follow the process correctly it should hold up. If you are looking to use this method to sublimate onto a tile it can work. See the video i did using the same process and using a tile 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKS3fGiNjLWKgMU

[@loriparsons1649]

HI! I love your videos. I'm just now getting started with sublimation and I have order dyepress polygloss. On a mug, do you only apply the polygloss to where your sublimation will be placed or all over the cup? Thank you much!!

[@atprints]

Thanks very much for your question and your comment and support. When you are applying the polygloss on the mug cover from one end to the other end. Left out the handle and the bottom which don’t need to be coated. But coat around the surface of the mug. I hope this helps and congratulations on your new start with sublimation and polygloss . I have the links to dyepress polygloss in the e description and also I have an entire playlist with different items I coated with polygloss on my channel so check them out.

[@yellowrunkz]

Great video.. got a question if i had messed up a sublimation tumbler if i was to spray paint over it then use this would it be able to work?

[@atprints]

This is a very interesting question. I am thinking it might work. You might have to be very carful with the type of paint that you use. The reason I mention this is because after the paint is dried you have to apply the polygloss and allow it to bake and cure in an oven or heat press. I will surely give this a test and see the outcome. What you don’t want is that when you paint the tumbler and apply the polygloss and allow it to bake that while it’s curing that the paint does come off.

[@zhyle02]

How about tumblers with rubber handles or plastic handles?

[@atprints]

Can you confirm if you are referring to coating the handles or you are asking how do you get around them?

[@jessicab3990]

Have you tried this on glass cups? Can they go in the oven without breaking? Also, does does the poly gloss come with a lot? It looks like you don’t need much for each ceramic.

Thanks so much for your questions. With glass it most likely will end up breaking with the heat. Let’s say you just allow the poly gloss to be coated on the glass, at the same time when you do decide to place an image on it, the heat from the heat press will most likely crack the glass. But to answer your question I have not tried it on glass cups but tried it on glass plates and because the plate is glass the images did not turn out to its full capacity. The poly gloss comes in different sizes. You can choose from 16oz up to 5 gallons. I chose to get a big bottle so I can use it for the long haul. Here is the link you can check out the different sizes dyepress.com/polygloss-sublimation-coating-for-all-hard-substrates-glossy-finish/ When I do my coating you don’t have to use so much. 1 mixture can coat a lot of items. You can coat up to 10 of more items depending on how you put it on. You brush it on light and not heavy which gives you more left over to use on other items. I hope this answered your questions and feel free to ask anymore and you can connect with me on Instagram if you wish @allan21thompson

Great Video. Can we cure the item with a heat gun instead of putting it in the oven?

[@atprints]

I wouldn't advise using a heat gun. You want it to be cured fully and even. Another option is to put it outside in an area where you wouldn't get much dust and allow it to dry on its own.

[@medakfiles]

does this work same way on a 160z pint glass for beer

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. When it comes to glass it’s a bit different as you can coat the polygloss on but in terms of sublimating the image may not fill come out as you wish since the background would be glass.

Use a sponge or sprayer for a smoother finish

[@ELTABULLO]

Anyone know how they compare in durability to commercial blanks? Thanks

[@elainejacobs6198]

I was wondering if you can still use them to drink and eat off of after you apply that coding to them? Also wondering how it will hold up to the dishwasher, and the last thought is can you use a heat gun instead of the oven?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your questions. You can use the cup to drink from and the plate can be used. The company noted that the Polygloss is FDA-approved and its food safe. However, I always recommend, when it comes to the plate, use it as an ornament. The cup can be used as normal. I also highly recommend not putting them in the dishwasher because what you don't want is the heat from the dishwasher to reactive the polygloss. When sublimating, it's best to use an oven and not a heat gun. you want even heating and temperature when the item is baking.

What can be used to clean the polygloss solution off your paint brush, after use?

[@atprints]

I normally use plain water, either hot of cold. I get a plastic cup and just put the brush in the cup with water.

[@tinapaananen998]

Love your videos. If I don’t have an oven to cure the Polygloss can I use a mug press?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your comment and your support, I really appreciate it. Yes you can use a mug press. Here is another video where I coated some bottles and used the mug press 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYKqdIitqMmMg9U Hope this helps.

hi dear Allan, thank you for this super amazing video:) I'm wondering if the catalyst is necessary? thank you so much:)

[@atprints]

Thank you for your comment. Yes please the catalyst is necessary. its actually plays a part of the solution.

[@gogo179gogo]

@@atprints thank you so much! Gonna order everything now and can’t wait to try!!!

[@atprints]

@@gogo179gogo Awesome. Make sure to let me know how your items come out. My links are in the description where you can reach out to me on IG or Facebook.

Hi Allen, How long did the image remain on the ceramic mug, and is there any special washing instruction on the ceramic mug.

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. From the time I did the video to this point I still have the mug and it still looks fresh and awesome. In terms of washing I would advise not to put it in the dish washer as the heat can reactivate the polygloss. I hope this answer helps.

[@Jimandterimuncy]

Thanks Allan! I'm a new subscriber. Love listening to your videos and accent. :) How did the cup hold up? I'm thinking about buying the Polygloss, but wanted to know if you got the same results as sublimate coated items after washing it a few times.

[@atprints]

Hey, thanks so much for subscribing and for supporting the channel. Thanks also for your question. I love when questions are asked. However, I did the mug last year February 7, 2021 and to this day I washed that mug so many times and the colors are still bright. Once you follow the steps and seal the item correctly you product will last long. I hope this helps and yes please do get some polygloss and try and let me know how it works.

[@Jimandterimuncy]

@@atprints Excited to try this! I didn't see you seal the mug after sublimating.... is there something I should put on the mug after pressing in a mug press?

[@atprints]

@@Jimandterimuncy you can use a premium clear finish which protects the outside. I didn’t use it on this because my mug isn’t really going to be bounced around and also because I am the only one using it. The polygloss also has its own protective seal within the solution but using the premium clear coat is just another additional step you can use to seal and protect the outside of the item. I have some more video on using polygloss so make sure to check the playlist on my channel and you will see a whole playlist with more polygloss projects.

[@hollydollydingo7652]

When you sublimate them, do they last as a pre sublimated blank would?

[@atprints]

Yes, they do. Just remember in all blanks, once we sublimate them you have to care for them. If they drop or fall it can be scratched.

[@ebenezerwilliams8222]

Please Sir what if I don't have an oven what alternative can I use apart from the oven

[@atprints]

If you dont have an oven you can use a press. It all depends on which items you are trying to coat. Take a look at another video where i used my Mug press to cure water bottles kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYKqdIitqMmMg9U

[@sabrinablaschek86]

Where can I purchase this I’m in Canada? So cool thank you for sharing this

[@atprints]

You are most welcome. You can use this link to purchase and it will ship to you 👉 bit.ly/3CYZqu1 Keep me updated on when you get it and what projects you do.

[@dawneposthumus4148]

Can you do this to a primed tumbler?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. I never tried it on a primed tumbler. However, I know it can be applied to stainless steel and I am in the process of creating a video on that process.

[@hersonherrera9701]

is there certain type of poly gloss for sublimation or i can use any polygloss for this

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. I would start by asking what type of sublimation you are interested in doing. If you want to sublimate cups, mugs, bottles, etc. you can use the dye press Polygloss where the link is in the description of this video. Otherwise, you will have to tell me what other type of sublimating you are interested in and I would be able to try to guide you accordingly.

[@strada570]

Great video Allan! Thank you for sharing. Can I use an airbrush to apply the PolyGloss?

[@atprints]

Thanks is for your comment and support. In terms of the airbrush I never tried that option but I think it’s best to use a brush or sponge and the reason I say this is because when applying the solution it forms bubbles and using a spray bottle or air brush may cause a lot of bubbles. You want to avoid creating bubbles as much as possible. If bubbles are caught on the items it will be hard to get them out. Also if bubbles are formed and the items are baked/cured with the bubbles on them, then it will stay that way forever. I hope this helps.
