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

[@ashekkam5094]

This video was absolutely what I needed. One of the most informative videos I watched in a long time. I love the fact it wasn’t rushed, and it held my attention the entirety of the video. Definitely a new subscriber.

That makes me so happy! Thank you, and thanks for subscribing!

[@trishturner7026]

Roy, this was fantastic. I have only just started sublimating tumblers therefore as part of my learning curve I have had a few stuff ups along the way. I stumbled upon your KZbin channel yesterday and found them very good and I like the way you get the information across without going on with a lot of BS.

[@industrialfringe953]

Thanks so much! But truth be told, you may just find a little BS mixed in! Thanks for watching!

[@desireeleblanc7612]

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!

This is great video. It gives me confidence to keep trying and trying to press the perfect tumbler and can not worry so much on screwing up!

[@leanne7832]

Thank you! This worked great. Just baked some tumblers last night and sublimated them again. I thought I was going to have to learn to epoxy tumblers in order to recycle the tumblers I ruin while trying to learn.

[@industrialfringe953]

I’m so glad it worked! I’m sure there will be times the original image is too dark, or I miscalculate what new image to replace it with, but if I can save some of the mess ups, I’m happy! (As much as I love epoxy, I don’t have the patience!) Thanks for watching!

@@industrialfringe953 Roy, is it possible to put too much pressure on a tumbler? The first one turned out beautifully, but the second one is too dark around the top and bottom, and the color is too light in the mid-section. I still don't have a convection over to bake the image off. This has never happened before. What must I have done wrong? Thank you, Donna

[@nahnisjourney1406]

@@industrialfringe953 Is it possible to to put too much tape on the tumbler? I'm trying to figure this out. Or could I have pressed it too long. 90 seconds x 4?

[@industrialfringe953]

I don’t think it is. I’ve seen people wrap their entire tumbler with tape! My thoughts are to use as little as possible to get the results I need!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

@@industrialfringe953 Good morning, I’m doing another as I post this comment. I only taped the seams and double taped the top and bottom. I was thinking that perhaps it got over heated by me turning it four times on one end, and four times on the other end. Was that too much heat for it? This time, I’m turning it twice in each end, making sure the the section that the press doesn’t heat the first time, gets heat when I turn it. I sure hope this works. It’s cooling down now before I remove the butcher paper and sublimation paper. I’ll be watching more of your wonderful videos. Thank you.

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!

[@janettagagnon3245]

What would happen if you wrapped it in blank sublimation paper? Would it help pull think ink out?

[@industrialfringe953]

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!

[@industrialfringe953]

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.

Do they need to be standing up or can they lay on the side? I tried standing mine up and with the size of my oven it gets to close to the heating element? If yes what kind of oven do you use? Thank you for your help!

[@industrialfringe953]

Great question! If possible, I’d stand them up, but if you have a messed up tumbler that you can’t use anyway, I’d give it a try! Just make sure to rotate often and maybe add a few more minutes due to the door opening more often. Thanks for watching!

[@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!

[@carolbush2197]

Do you have an expsy on these !

[@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?

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!

Very helpful thanks a bunch! Can it be put again in the oven after giving it a brake to cool off for another hour to continue discoloration if the print is still a little hard to get off 🤔 Im doing this on 12oz mugs

[@industrialfringe953]

You can certainly try, but I’m pretty sure you won’t get more off. At some point, the bottom begins to darken, and I’d be afraid that may get too noticeable. 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!

[@toisaundenson8309]

Is that an adjustable table over the oven?

[@KayXoXo4]

Should peel the paper off while the tumbler is still hot hot or wait for it to cool down?

[@industrialfringe953]

I do a little of both. I peel the tape as soon as it comes out of the heat, but leave the paper on for the amount of time it takes to make another tumbler. Right before my next tumbler is ready to be removed, I take the paper off the tumbler that’s been out. Make sense?! Thanks for watching!

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!

[@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!

[@thedenimlily]

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

[@industrialfringe953]

[@industrialfringe953]

Thanks so much!!! I would definitely look at a thrift store to try and find a convection oven. A toaster oven would work as well, you just have to rotate the tumbler a bit.

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?

[@angelawhiteday8945]

Is it the design that makes the seam on the product ?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Angela. I’m not 100% sure what the question is, but I’m gonna take a stab! The seam is made from the two sides of the image touching each other. If the image is designed to be seamless and the tumbler is wrapped perfectly, you won’t see a seam. If the design isn’t made to be seamless, or if the wrap isn’t spot on, you can see a seam. And some people (me!) often build a seam into the design. I hope that answers your question! Thanks so much for watching!

thank you for an excellent video!! very well done. subscribed :)

[@industrialfringe953]

Excellent, Lisa! Thanks for watching and for subscribing!

[@elohimembroidery]

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!

[@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!

[@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]

Blacks turning brown is an indication of too much time and/or temp too high. I use light pressure and do multiple presses totaling 150 seconds at 365 degrees. Check out this video for how I use the press! And thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4DUqXt7j8yDrc0

No more so than creating a new one in an oven, although it is in there longer. I’ve heard a few people say you should cover the opening so the gas can’t get inside. If you think you should, by all means, do so. I personally don’t think it’s an issue, as I believe it’s completely safe once it gets back below 350 degrees. But do what makes you feel most comfortable! Thanks for watching!

I love this. Thank you so much for sharing. I noticed some the tumblers are kind of dark on the bottom, are they burnt? You also mentioned something about one of them leaving a tape mark and you'd get that out, tape marks can be removed from sublimated cups and tumblers?

[@industrialfringe953]

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!

[@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!

Ok absolutely love your videos!! Thanks for all the help. I have a question about the glass cans. I couldn’t find any and I read you can order them from a restaurant wholesaler. I haven’t heard of any problems with those at all. Do you know?

[@industrialfringe953]

Thanks! No, I would not order them from a restaurant wholesaler, as they won’t be coated for sublimation. Check out the link for the Alibaba supplier I use. They should have them in their US warehouse, shipping is included, and you’ll get them in 3 - 5 days. And the prices can’t be beat. They’re $175 for 50, coming out to $3.50 each. If you don’t want that many, check out rtssublimationblanks.com. They’re $6.75 each plus shipping. Thanks for watching!

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!

I dont have this oven. Can I do this in my regular oven? Or my press?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Rita! You NEVER want to sublimate in an oven you use for food! I’m thinking a press may work, but in my opinion, it would be way too much on the press just for saving one substrate. I would go to a local thrift shop and see if you can get a convection or toaster oven for a few dollars. (If it’s not convection, you’ll just need to rotate it often.) thanks for watching!

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!

[@pbjTShirtCo]

I love your content. I’ve learned a lot in a short time. I’m still having issues with tape marks. You mentioned in this video possibly pulling out tape marks. Can you show how to do that?

[@industrialfringe953]

Thanks! Sometimes car polish will fade out the tape marks if they’re light. (Sometimes you need to buff the entire tumbler to make sure everything is consistent.) I’ll be talking about this in an upcoming video about the top 10 tips and tricks for sublimation. Until then, this scratch and swirl remover is a good car polish to use that I’ve had success with (and what I’ll be using in my top 10 video). amzn.to/3w5BNNR Thanks for watching!

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!

[@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!

[@kathyadkins4234]

I am new to sublimation. I have ruined a couple of mugs and tumblers. I was able to remove almost all of the ink from the mugs. I have a sublimation oven and set the oven to 400 degrees for 45 minutes. One of the mugs looks brand new and the other has a faint ink stain on it. My question is will the ink stay on the cups and tumblers without recoating them with a sublimation coating? Thank you

[@industrialfringe953]

Interesting. I’m not sure why one retained the ink. There will always be some ink left, hence the need to find a dark, dark design to cover it with! Once you’ve baked as much of the ink off as you can, you can resub without the need to add more sublimation coating. I’m not sure how many times you can do it, but from my experience, it definitely works one time! Thanks for watching!
