How To Tape A Sublimation Tumbler For Perfect Edges!

Hey, and welcome! In this episode, I’m going to show you how I wrap sublimation tumblers to get the perfect edges and seam. This newer way is only a slight adjustment to how I’ve been wrapping them, but for designs with solid colors, especially blacks, this has been working quite well for me. I think the thicker tape also has something to do with being able to tighten up the edges without pulling the paper.
Please check out our Facebook group, groups/55947.... If you enjoy sublimation, just answer a couple of quick questions and join. We’d love to have you!

I use my tiny Cricut vinyl scraper tool that came with my tool set to push those little spots at the top and bottom down. I also scrape the tape going down the seam and this has given me wonderful results!

I usually used a scraper to scrap the wrinkles out of the top and the bottom so you don’t get that weird little ripple effect. I only use one layer of tape and it has worked for me. :) thanks for all the tips. Have a blessed day.

[@industrialfringe953]

Thanks for the tip! I have seen people use different things to push against the side with great results. Some even roll the edge of the tumbler on the table. For me, I’ve found that I sometimes miss a spot by just doing that. But I should try using a scraper, then adding my second piece of tape. I like the idea of having some help getting the wrinkles out. Thanks again for the tip, and thanks for watching!

[@industrialfringe953]

Yes, Carlos, I was doing the exact same thing, especially with designs that had a lot of color. With the addition of the second piece of tape pulled VERY tightly along the edge, it’s given me the ability to extend the design closer to or to the bottom.

You can also use a credit card to secure your seams so there are no air bubbles. Love your videos and how you are so accepting of your mistakes...shows you are human!

[@industrialfringe953]

I have used a credit card. (More specifically, a Blockbusters membership card!) I’ve also tried a few other tools. I still end up going back to my fingernail! It’s always close by, and it makes me feel like I have cat like reflexes. I don’t. Thanks for watching!

[@barbara34810]

I never tape the top and bottom of my tumbler and I never have an issue. I felt when I tape the top and bottom I always had an issue. I also use clear tape and remove the air from the inner seam and outer seam and with the clear tape I can see my seam seal up. To remove the air from my tape seam I use a matha stuard card maker tool, It works perfect. I also use the shrink wrap. I have a tumbler press but I perfer to use the same oven you used. By the way my first oven, the same one after making a lot of tumblers caught fire. Thanks so much for another great video.

[@industrialfringe953]

You know, it’s funny. Some people have to over tape the edges (me) to get good results, and some people don’t tape the edges at all with great results! I can get away with not taping sometimes, but I’ve found a 100% consistent great result by taping the way I do, so I just keep on doing it that way. I admire those of you who can get by without taping! Thanks for watching!

Learned a lot thanks. I have a toaster oven though

[@industrialfringe953]

By toaster oven, I’m guessing it’s not a convection. (My convection oven is a toaster oven with a convection setting.) I haven’t personally used them, but I see lots of people using regular toaster ovens, I believe you just need to turn the tumbler a couple of times during the baking process.

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I am excited to try this new method later today!!! The tops and bottoms of my tumblers always came out great when I was using a convection oven, but I can see some issues caused by puckering at the top/bottom with my tumbler press. However, the main part of my designs are more crisp with the tumbler press. So, maybe I can finally get one that I am happy with:) Thanks so much!!!

[@industrialfringe953]

Marilyn, please let me know how it comes out! Make sure to try and remove the creases after the first piece of tape with your fingernail, then pull super tight with the second piece of tape, focusing only on the edge!

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@industrialfringe953 I sure will and I really appreciate how you tried so many variations on your method until you were happy with it! I was temped to send this press back but I just love how crisp the images are when I use it:) If I can get my top and bottom right, I am going to be thrilled!!!

Definitely try it! I swear by it! I press at 365 degrees with the seam at the 9 o’clock position (looking at the bottom) for 50 seconds, rotate 180 degrees (seam at 3 o’clock position) for 50 seconds, rotate 90 degrees (seam at 6 o’clock position) for 25 seconds, rotate 180 degrees (seam at 12 o’clock position) for a final 25 seconds.

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Eric, a couple of questions. Is it just the top or the top and bottom? If it’s just the top. I’d try rotating the tumbler to see if your top is getting enough heat. If it’s a press, flip it. If it’s an oven, turn it upside down. If that’s not it, I’m at a loss. Good luck! And thanks for watching!

@@industrialfringe953 the heat press looks like the on you have in the video I checked temp with a temp gun seems to run 10 to 20 degrees hotter then what is displayed. If it's temp, it might not be getting enough where I am putting the heat tape. I will try raising temp to 380 on my next attempt. Or should I increase the time at each turn of the tumbler?

[@lashawndaanderson5113]

I love how these turned out! How long and at what temperature do you press?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hi! I use a Heat Press Nation Signature Series mug press with the tumbler attachment, and press at 365 degrees for 50 seconds, rotate 180 degrees and press for another 50 seconds, then rotate 90 degrees and press for 25 seconds, then rotate a final 180 degrees and press for a final 25 seconds. Details of how I press are here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4DUqXt7j8yDrc0 Thanks for watching!

I love the colored seem. Do you put it on both edges of the image?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hi, Valerie! You don’t have to, but I often find myself simplifying the layer, the duplicating and rotating the duplicated layer horizontally and sliding over to the other side IF I’m using a drop shadow. That gives a]the same shadow to both edges. And I make the seam on the right side just a tad wider, since a tiny bit of the edge will overlap. I have another video detailing the process a little more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWzoH5pfpmriq8 Thanks so much for watching!

Do you the wrap for sale ?

Very informative video! What measurements are you using for your sublimation print?

[@industrialfringe953]

Thank you! My prints are 9-1/4” by 8-1/8”. There is about 1/16 - 1/32” design overlap and just under 1/8” white paper overlap. The hope is the total overlap, design and white paper is around 1/8”.

How did you add that seam? It looks great!

[@industrialfringe953]

Thanks so much! This video explains my seams! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWzoH5pfpmriq8 Thanks for watching!

[@kathleenweidner1913]

Can you do a tutorial on how you add the seam? Love your videos!!

[@industrialfringe953]

Absolutely, Kathleen! It’s quite easy, and will be a quick video! I’ll try and get it out within the next few weeks!

[@tntboxers5207]

Will you provide a link to the seam tutorial?

[@katrinacooler4039]

Yes please provide a link! I’ll Love to watch it!

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Kim! Check out this video, which goes into more detail on creating seams. I begin making the extra seams around the 7 minute and 45 seconds mark. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWzoH5pfpmriq8

[@valeriehofmann2615]

Thank you. My Tumbler came out perfect with this method. I bought the wider tape and it worked well. Does your tape come up from the heat in the top and bottom? Luckily I had it on well with the two layers.

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Valerie! If I use an oven, sometimes the tape becomes loose (if I’m not using shrink wrap), but it remains on if using a press…for the most part! Thanks so much for watching!
