How To Re-Bake A Messed Up Tumbler, Glass Can and Coffee Mug!

Hey everybody, and welcome! Today we’re gonna try and bake off old messed up images from a tumbler and re-sub with new images. But not only a tumbler. We’re gonna rebake a glass can, a frosted glass can, a coffee mug, and a Walmart 25 ounce bamboo lid frosted glass tumbler! Basically, we’re gonna try and save a bunch of screw-ups!
This process is done in a dedicated convection oven. Dedicated, meaning, don’t use an oven you would use for food! If you don’t have one, try a thrift store. A convection oven is best, as the air flows around inside the oven, so there’s no need to rotate the tumbler.
Here’s the oven I use: amzn.to/3mhfSid

I use a convection oven for my glass cans. When I have some that I need to strip the sun ink off. I put a shrink wrap on it and bake for about 6-7 minutes. The shrink wrap soaks up the image pretty well. I normally do 2 rounds of that. It works wonderfully. I have t tried it on the tumblers though.

[@industrialfringe953]

That’s great to know! Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

WOW! That’s a great technique, too! I need to get a convection oven for sure!

You can burn the bottom if you’re not careful. My tumbler bottoms were okay, but I had adhesive residue that I forgot to remove before I started! It was hard to get off. And I had the coffee mug bottom get dark. If the marks are vague, sometimes you can remove them with Turtle Wax Scratch & Swirl. I’ll be trying this in an upcoming video!

Hey, Mags! The coffee mug I rebaked had a brownish bottom, but surprisingly, the others didn’t. I have a silicone mat that’s on the bottom of the oven that may have something to do with it.

[@jackieggray]

Wow!! They look great. I am having issues with my colors being mutted and my blacks are brown. I have the same press. What temp and time are you using? Thank you, Jackie

[@industrialfringe953]

[@impressedbydes991]

Would there be a way to remove the remainder ink like rubbing alcohol or acetone or would that remove the special coating? Could you in theory turn any mug into a sublimation mug by dipping it in polycrylic? Just some beginner questions i kind of have.

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey! Great questions! I don’t know for sure, but I would bet removing the remaining ink with a harsh chemical would also remove the sublimation coating. And theoretically, you could coat anything with the right polycrylic coating. I tend to shy away from that, as I sell my product, and I want to make sure it’s 100% sublimatable. I also can’t beat the prices for already finished tumblers. I may use a special coating on an upcoming video, but it will be for canvas fabric. Thanks for watching!

Would you share what time and temps you bake the mugs and tumblers. Sorry if I missed it!

Hey, Renee! I have a couple of other videos that get into the details, but short answer is 190 seconds at 385 for mugs in a press (375ish for 10-1/2 minutes in an oven) and 365 degrees for 50/50/25/25 in a press, light pressure (365ish for 4-1/2 minutes in an oven). Thanks for watching!

[@itsShay_duh504]

Hi! I have the French Door convection/air fryer combo and I usually lay my tumblers down to sublimate, there are a few that are messed up does it matter if I lay them down to erase the ink or is it better to stand them up?

[@industrialfringe953]

Great question! You could probably it either way, but I would rotate a few times if laying them on their side. If you can, I’d stand them up!

[@mariescreations71]

Have noticed the dark at the bottom of the tumblers I don't know if it's burnt does that come off and does any of the fumes get down in the cup I saw somebody cover up the top of their cup so the fumes wouldn't get inside

[@industrialfringe953]

Well, I’ll need to start by saying you should never take scientific advice from me. (Mrs. Koenig, my high school science teacher would very quickly confirm this.) I don’t cover the tops when I bake off, as I don’t personally believe there’s an issue. First, deposition (or desublimation) is the process of turning a gas back into a solid, so there is a possibility of the gas reforming into a solid inside the tumbler. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing, as once the gas has turned into a solid, it’s safe. Right?! I mean, I could lick the outside of my tumbler all day long and nothing would happen to me. (Let’s assume I’ve never done that.) I do wash out my tumblers after they’ve been burned off, but my very unscientific thought is that it’s okay. Besides, if you’re sublimating in an oven, there is still a percentage of gas going into the oven and thus into and around the tumbler. That said, if you have ANY issue, by all means, cover it! (With what, I don’t know!) As far as the dark at the bottom, it’s probably not coming off! Thanks for watching!

[@echocheck]

It usually takes me 2 hours at 400 degrees and they fade a lot so you can sub a darker color over them.

[@kellyclinton6451]

I am a beginner at sublimation. I have sublimated four tumblers so far using a tumbler press at 360 for 60 minutes. They all have a faded color look, the black is brown, turquoise is green, and so forth. I’m wandering if you can suggest what I may doing wrong. My tumbler press is brand new, not sure if that should have anything to do with it. Also I have a regular size oven that is a convection oven as well, could I rebake the mess ups in it? Or would that make my oven not safe for cooking food in ?

[@industrialfringe953]

Welcome to the wonderful world of sublimation! I’m guessing you mean 60 seconds for your time! Here’s my time and temp (and I use light pressure). Take a look and see if that helps. And do NOT use an oven for sublimation that you use to eat! Sublimation releases gases, and you don’t want any residual gas in your pot pie! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4DUqXt7j8yDrc0

[@mariemontez6028]

So my tumbler is to tall to stand up in convection oven so can I lay in there to try and do this? Would I just need to turn it several times? When I sub on them I have to lay in oven which comes out great so wasn’t sure when trying to burn image off if this would work.

[@industrialfringe953]

I haven’t needed to do that yet, but I would just about bet that if you’re making them in the oven that way, you should be fine with baking the image off that way. But yes, I would turn it often. (I would probably turn every 10-15 minutes, but I may be a little OCD about it!) Thanks for watching!

You know, that’s a great question. I haven’t thought about it. My guess would be that it would not, as you’re off gassing the tumbler. BUT, it could very help help! I’ll have to check it out the next time I’m baking off tumblers!

[@cristinaflores7570]

Do you know if I can bake off the image use a heat press machine?

[@industrialfringe953]

I mentioned this in the video. I’m not sure, but I didn’t want to try, as I didn’t want to put my press through that much work for one tumbler. Tumbler press attachments eventually go bad, and I just don’t want that to be the reason mine does! Thanks so much for watching!

[@hippiechiccreations]

Can I use a regular oven? Or does it need to be a one of these smaller ovens

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Hippie Chick Creations! (I absolutely love that name!) You can, but you can’t use it to cook food in. The best is a small countertop convection oven. If you’re looking, try a thrift store. And while convection is better, a regular toaster will probably work, you’ll just need to manually turn it once or twice during the bake. Again, don’t ever use an oven you’d cook your food in! The process of sublimation releases gases that you do not want in your food! Thanks for watching!

For images with a lot of black in them, how do you keep the sub paper from sticking to the tumbler? Mine is sticking badly which ruins the finish of the tumbler. The other colors press beautifully. I run an Epson F570, Epson General Purpose transfer paper with Epson sub ink.

[@industrialfringe953]

Without knowing any more, my first two thoughts would be this. First, make sure your ink is bone-dry on the paper. I try to print a day or so before pressing. (I’ve pressed seconds after printing too, but I try to wait at least a little while, especially on dark designs with large solid dark areas.) Secondly, you may want to try prebaking the tumbler if you’re gonna do a really dark image and you’re still having an issue. Just long enough to make sure the finish is baked into the tumbler. (Two to five minutes in an oven or 30 seconds to a minute in a press.) Let it cool back down before wrapping. Thanks for watching!

[@thedenimlily]

Ok so all I have is a tumbler press. Will a regular oven at 400 work?

[@industrialfringe953]

Any oven will bake down the image, but don’t use an oven that you use for food! (You can always check your local thrift store for a used one!) Thanks for watching!

[@amybroach2938]

What about the gasses getting inside the tumbler when baking off?

[@industrialfringe953]

While I’m not a chemist, my belief is, the stainless steel inside is a hard metal surface and can easily be cleaned. What you want to stay away from is food in the same oven. The reason behind that is that food can absorb any lingering gases left in the oven, but a hard stainless steel surface cannot. But that’s just my best guess. If you’re concerned, don’t rebake, or at least get an opinion from someone qualified to answer chemical/gas related questions! Thanks for watching!

[@Debbief2644]

Question, does the tumbler still keep ice for a long time like it normally does?

[@industrialfringe953]

Great question, Debbie! The seal between the walls keeps air vacuum sealed, so rebaking it’s shouldn’t effect that seal or the integrity of the tumbler!

[@toisaundenson8309]

Is that an adjustable table over the oven?

[@industrialfringe953]

Yes, kinda! I built my whole setup with black iron pipe and wood for the shelving, trimmed in a darker wood. I absolutely love it because it’s strong, and I can reconfigure whenever I need to! Thanks for watching!

[@donnarabozzi3398]

What about the bottoms? I noticed on a couple of them, they were brownish from where you had them in the oven for so long. What did you do about that?

[@industrialfringe953]

Well, the Walmart frosted one was messed up all around, so it was trash! With the exception of two, I didn’t have issues with the bottoms. And those two were because I didn’t get the sticky stuff from the rubber bottom completely off. I ended up scrubbing them to pull most of it off. Then the little bit of what I couldn’t get was covered up by a new rubber bottom. Thanks for watching!

[@harryrobbins853]

I have always heard that when you set a convection oven at, say, 400 degrees that it really is only warming up to 375 degrees. So do you put your oven at a temperature so that the thermometer inside the oven is reading at 400 degrees or do you just set your temperature at 400? Hope I am making sense. Thanks

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Harry, you’re absolutely making sense, and it’s a great question. I never use the external dial. It’s usually way off. I always, always, always use only the internal thermometer. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@heatherdukes8665]

Hi there! I just did this process for some frosted glass cans and the yellowing was obvious. Was there another process ypu used to get the yellowing under control?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Heather! The only process I used was baking in the oven. Without knowing the time and temp, if yellowing happened to me, I’d back off of the time (and/or temp) a little. Thanks for watching!

[@reneepowell6300]

How do you get rid of the tape marks?

[@industrialfringe953]

The goal is to not get them in the first place, and I do that by using very light pressure and making sure the tumblers are completely cured. (There’s no way to test that, but if you have light pressure and you’re getting them, you need to bake the other tumblers in that box for 30 seconds to a minute without anything on them to make sure they’re completely cured. Let them cool back down, then wrap as normal. If you do get them, you can use a car wax to lightly buff and reduce the severity. Turtle Wax Scratch and Swirl is the one I’ve used. It’s not a complete remover, but it helps!

[@judybarrett2697]

Did it burn on the bottom of the tumblers? What is that on the last ones bottom?

[@industrialfringe953]

I had to go back and look at the video, because I knew none of them burnt on the bottom (except the glass one and the mug a little bit)! I had previously put a rubber bottom on that tumbler, and when I removed the rubber bottom, some of the adhesive didn’t come off, but I didn’t notice. That adhesive browned up. I was able to remove it with a little GooGone. The learning on my part? Remove all the adhesive BEFORE I rebake a tumbler! Thanks for watching!

[@escapedgoat5865]

Are you using a heat press and if so are you just wrapping with that Songkran peice of tape? Is there a and over lap where your connecting the two sides? Or is your print exactly the same size as the cup?

[@industrialfringe953]

Definitely go back and watch a few of my other videos! I think (hope) you’ll be able to get some good info. I mostly use a tumbler press, and here’s how I wrap with tape. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYbNYZulbtWDadE Thanks for watching!

[@escapedgoat5865]

@INDUSTRIAL fringe I just found you. I really don't watch much how to sublimation they just don't explain things like you. Your definitely an amazingly helpful channel. Do you have a video how you measure your cups and how you cut them. Before wrapping? I made a quick glance but only seen wrapping and editing your images

[@Angie.Abrahams]

Hi, do you set the oven on bake or Convection?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Angie! I set the oven to convection. Convection gives a more consistent heat through the interior of the oven so you don’t need to rotate! Thanks for watching!

[@awkwardartist7628]

Where did you get the A2 image please

[@industrialfringe953]

If you’re talking about the 2nd Amendment image, I got it here. www.etsy.com/listing/1200780552/ Thanks for watching!

[@bindlooseclothingcompany]

what brand tumblers do you use? they are very vibrant!

[@industrialfringe953]

I get mine from an alibaba company. www.locustsub.com?service=ChloePeng I’ve also gotten them from rtssublimationblanks.com and Amazon, and they all come out pretty consistently. It may be more about the ink (shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1363259&u=3064363&m=89134&urllink=&afftrack=), paper, printer and time/temp technique. Thanks for watching!

[@lisapecoraro1]

Do you epoxy your sublimation? They look shiny What brand of ink do you use

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Lisa. No I do not epoxy my tumblers. That’s how they come out of the box. And I use Cosmos Ink. Thanks for watching!

[@Thecraftinggirlboutique]

Do you use your oven also for food

[@industrialfringe953]

NO! Never, ever use an oven for food and sublimation! Gasses are released when sublimating (whether subbing something on or trying to burn something off), so only use an oven dedicated to only sublimation! If you don’t have one, try a local thrift shop. Thanks again for watching!

[@TamareLove]

Hi, thanks for this video, but do I have to buy a convection oven? I can't use a kitchen oven? A gas oven to be exact. Just curious

[@industrialfringe953]

NO, don’t ever use an oven you’re going to eat out of for sublimation! Instead, find a cheap oven at a thrift store. You want convection, but a toaster oven will work in a pinch, you’ll just have to rotate it pretty often.

[@TamareLove]

@@industrialfringe953 thanks!

[@user-rd1ov5oi4m]

Can I bake off a mistake on a glow in the dake tumbler

[@industrialfringe953]

That’s a great question! I’m not sure, but I’d definitely give it a try if I had one! Thanks for watching!

[@bevswazey5499]

How do you get your designs to print so bright?

[@industrialfringe953]

I use cosmos ink and don’t use a color profile. I run everything through Photoshop (Elements) and print from Preview. Thanks for watching!
