[@mattofuller]

Hi Patrice, thanks for another great and informative video. I can't wrap my head around there not being any poly coating on the Birch because I didn't think sublimation worked in the absence of a poly coating. Do you think this means the transfer will fade unless a coating is added after the sublimation?

[@CraftableThings]

Hi Matt! Thanks so much for watching! I suppose time will tell. I will certainly do a follow-up. I subbed on a smaller piece of birch wood. I then submerged it into water for about 2 hours (I actually forgot I put it in water). There was no fading, bleeding or distortion of the image. Of course, I do think more testing of elements should be done to be 100% sure that it withstands without a poly coating.

[@amberfischer2959]

Hi Matt have you subbed wood with Poly first,”? I would love to know Craftable things- do you put polycrylic on top of your subbed wood rounds? I’m interested in knowing? Have you ever used polycrylic first?

[@sasha6261]

I wonder if it had poly on it? Didn’t she say she got it from Amazon? I want to know about this too.

[@FullaSugga]

THANKS for the Amazing tutorial!! Honestly SpINKing Sublimation Paper is a GREAT Product!!

Hey hey hey, they both came out great!!! Just ordered my wood rounds and I'm so glad you did this video because using polycrylic on wood and needing a damp cloth to remove stuck on paper.....I just couldn't.

[@belindaloux8354]

I can't wait to try this tomorrow! I've been so disappointed with all the poly tests I've done on wood, I didn't even think of just leaving the birch wood as is!!!!

[@CraftableThings]

Let me know how it goes. If using on a porch or outside, I'd seal it.

[@joanmichiels111]

Wow that was great. I am wondering if I painted it with white matte paint if it would sub.

[@gerrywolfe2549]

Thank you for the video. Need to try the raw wood. Did you sand first?

[@theresamarji5637]

Thnx

[@larrywilliams9290]

another great vid butterfly....wonder if putting a spray clear coat on the finished product would increase the resistance to UV fading of the image if it was for an outside use. Even inside I think the clear coat would give the image some pop...take care.

[@CraftableThings]

A clear coat would be perfect and that would definitely provide longevity. Thanks, Larry!

[@adeboyeoladimeji3329]

Hi Patrice, I would like to ask if it's possible to give the panel wood a white background before sub how would I go about it, like what paint can I use to get a good finish quality?

[@MariaAguilar-vs9fb]

Great to see this can be done. I just wonder if it will holdup???

[@CraftableThings]

I wondered the same thing. I actually soaked a smaller piece in water for a few hours and no changes to the color or bleeding.

[@MsBell225]

New watcher. What's the font you use for Craftable in the intro?

[@conniehiggins9707]

May I ask, what program are you using to make your design?

[@SexieK1000]

Nice! Patrice, can we seal afterwards with poly or resin? Loved the video.

[@CraftableThings]

Yes, absolutely! Thank you for watching!!!

[@laurahuitron9397]

Hi Patrice, Enjoyed watching your tutorials video. Have you sublimated on the white wash wood canvases that hobby lobby sells?

[@CraftableThings]

Hi Laura! Thanks so much for watching! I haven't tried it, yet.

[@janesfavsvideos]

Nice

[@CraftableThings]

Thanks

[@cherylcrum9694]

Thanks for the video. I had subbed on a birch piece before seeing your video and had some feathering/bleeding into the grain of the wood. Does your finished pieces have any? Thank you.

[@CraftableThings]

I Cheryl! It could be the wood product. I did not experience any feathering with these rounds. However, subbed a piece of birch from Hobby Lobby and I did.

[@sworley1956]

I could not find this particular round on Amazon. That said Birchwood could you post a link

[@blong365]

If I need to paint the wood white before sublimation what type of paint should I use?

[@AndreasWoog]

A very nice video. Question: Did you sublimate the wood directly - without sublimation spray? Or is the wood already coated for sublimation?

[@CraftableThings]

Please see the first five minutes of the video and the links in the description. All of those questions are answered. Thanks for watching!

[@sworley1956]

You did not Experience any warping when you press that?

[@arcticgypsy]

This may have been said already, but the box may have needed to be filled (stack of cardboard, or whatever) so it would have more support during the press.

[@CraftableThings]

That's totally the case. Thanks so much for watching!

[@garylock4522]

That was amazing, heating up my press right now, had some 6x6 pieces

[@CraftableThings]

Thank you! Please let me know how it turns out!

[@garylock4522]

Mine didn’t turn out so great, I think because there is a little raised area. So it didn’t get enough pressure, I’m not giving up gonna try on a piece that’s nice and flat like your round piece.

[@CraftableThings]

@@garylock4522 I was contemplating putting a stuffing in the underside of the canvas, also.

[@elizabethdianzo6156]

Can u water sublimate on wood also

[@amberfischer2959]

Would you recommend higher heat with wood poly spray first or last?

[@CraftableThings]

I usually press wood higher. All wood cannot be subbed, though. So that would determine if I use a poly spray of laminate before pressing. If it can be subbed on, I usually spay with a clear acrylic sealer if it will be used indoors or a UV resistance sealer if it will be used outdoors.

[@jaiej8998]

This is awesome. What’s the size of the circle and square wood?

[@CraftableThings]

The circle is 12 inches and the canvas is an 8x8.

[@jaiej8998]

@@CraftableThings Awesome....are those the settings you use in your software? Which software do you use again?

[@CraftableThings]

[@therebellion6911]

Where it didnt get all the way at the bottom, possible sand the edges all the way around to get an even faded look. Maybe , maybe not but its an idea.

[@brittanykerr9434]

Could you add a sublimation to an already (Painted) piece of wood?

[@CraftableThings]

you can...you have to laminate it first and then sublimate.

[@melba_augustine]

Hi, did you sublimate the tshirt you are wearing?
