Thanks so much. Diane

Diane Lford Thank you for watching! There are some tiles you can buy pretreated with sublimation substrate. But we were playing with the idea of using a plain tile from a home improvement store, there we had to find a way for the sublimation ink to adhere to the tile. That’s why we put the laminate on first - it gives the tile the polyester coating needed for the sublimation ink to transfer to. Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

Greatly appreciate the tips. Question regarding use of 1.5 mil laminate vs. 3 mil and gloss, clear or matte. I trust your health is improving and you two are remaining safe.
@theoilykrafter3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! I’m assuming that you’re asking if you can use the 1.5mil instead of the 3mil - I’ve only used the 3mil thickness, so I’m not sure what the outcome would be using the thinner mil, it might scorch or the ink may not saturate well enough. Using gloss will give you a shiny surface, it’s a preference of how you like the finished project to look. I prefer the matte finish. And clear is all I’ve used in laminate. I’m in the process of researching using a white vinyl and doing a video on that. Thank you for the well wishes! Hope you have a fun and crafty week!

Hi Judy and Greg this was intriguing to watch as I have been using htv on my tiles which isn't bad but OMG!!! THIS IS AMAZING...... So, my question is or I can just try it out. I have scotch laminating pouches that I use to sub on canvas panels. I make sure the glossy side is up and the matte side is down. I didn't see which side you placed the laminate on. Thank you so much and I absolutely love the team work.....I pray your health has been restored.
@theoilykrafter3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! Since we use rolls, we make sure the inner side of the sheet as we unroll it is towards the tile or wood. I’ve seen some use it on the dollar tree canvas as well. I don’t have the times and temps to try for the canvas, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on a canvas for you. If your canvas is made of polyester, you shouldn’t need the laminate to sublimate on it. Hope this helps, Thanks again for watching and the compliments!

Thank you for watching our video! Great question! So far ours has held up quite well, but it only sits on a shelf looking pretty! We haven't tried putting any coating over it, so not sure what it would do to the picture. I have used epoxy on other tiles with pictures and that worked great, but there again, they were used for decor only. I have heard others say they spray with one of several brands clear coat sprays to help protect the picture. I wouldn't use it for a hot pad either, the heat might cause the laminate to release.

Thanks for the detailed video. So I use water decal paper to place images on ceramic, e.g. coasters. My question is how is sublimating an image using heat different as I'm new to the sublimation process? Is it more resistant to wear and tear, etc.? Appreciate any insight into the process.
@theoilykrafter3 жыл бұрын
Eva P. I haven’t worked with water decals, only seen videos on how to use them. As the video states, we converted our printer to do sublimation, it’s a special ink that gases when heated to form a bond with a polyester substrate (which is what the laminate provides on the ceramic tile). Hope this helps.

If you don’t have heat resistant gloves can you use pad holders to take it out of the heat press?

Thank you for watching our video! Yes you can use hot pad holders to remove the tile from the heat press. But I feel it would be easier to get burned.

Can you press on to cover of pads of paper that are poly without sublimation a surface? Can you sublimate on regular flip flops using this same method you just demonstrated on tile?
@judymeador89084 жыл бұрын
Good morning! I've seen where others have press the front of paper pads from Dollar Tree, but I have not done that yet, nor have I done flip flops (these I've seen being offered ready for sublimation from a few sublimation companies that offer blanks). You can do sublimation on white or light colored glitter vinyl to make like a sticker to put on things as well - another video in the making! Thanks for stopping by my channel!!!!

We never have found a Dollar Tree notepad with the substrate needed for sublimation. But you can on the white or glitter vinyl and make like a sticker for it. I do know that you can buy many different substrates ready made for sublimation as well now.

Thanks for the video. How do I eliminate bubbles in the laminate? I was still able to sublimate for practice, but my tile has bubbles from the laminate.
@theoilykrafter3 жыл бұрын
I haven't had that issue as of yet. I pull the laminate around the sides of the tile and tape it, making sure that it is as taught as I can get it. Don't clean the tile with rubbing alcohol before laminating it, it causes issues with the adhesion of the laminate! Just use something like a microfiber clothe to clean it before hand. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching!

@theoilykrafter3 жыл бұрын
thank you for watching! The spray we show in the video is just what we happened to have on hand. I would use whichever spray adhesive you have or like, I don't think it matters. You can use the spray to adhere the laminate to the tile before you heat it. I use this more when doing wood as the substrate, not so much on the tile. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for watching! We have not tried this process with the infusible ink pens yet. I have used them on regular sublimation mugs in our mug press though. They work very well. Just be sure to use the laser paper (paper designed to take heat that regular paper can not) or sublimation paper with them (releases the ink better). Experiment and have fun crafting!

@theoilykrafter3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! I start with cleaning the tile, have to get all debris/lint and even finger prints off of it. If you use something like rubbing alcohol, let dry over night so all of it can dissipate (which is what I did). Some use the easy tack spray to hold it in place temporarily before they heat it to the tile. Hope this helps!

@theoilykrafter3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching! My first thought is - how are you cleaning/prepping the tiles? Are they smooth tiles or have undulations in them? Have you tried turning the laminate over to see if the other side sticks better? Does your heat press have a cool spot in the heating plate? Making sure the laminate is flat against the tile before you press. The quality or age of the laminate can make a difference. These are things I start checking when I have issues and go from there. I also wonder if they’ve changed the tile itself since I purchased mine. Let me know if any of these fix the problem for you. If not, I’ll give it some research to see what else might help.

@@theoilykrafter Thanks for your quick reply. I think it must be the tiles from Lowes. The first few we did came out perfect, now we cannot do a perfect one. Everything else we do comes out good so I can't blame the heat press. I think I solved the problem by ordering sublimatable tiles from Coastal. They are more money but will be well worth it if they come out good. I will let you know how I make out with them Thanks Again, Larry
