Sublimation on Metal for Beginners

[@JustMeValerie6]

I came to this video only to learn what temperature and time to use to sublimate on a metal license plate. What a great video, well done, very thorough, no BS. I watched the whole thing and learned a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it. 😊

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

Thank you. I'm glad you found the information helpful.

[@Jemmyjo]

You, do not have enough views!!!! I hope you see this, because you are showing what NO other crafter is showing. This is needed!!!

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

Thank you! KZbin ranks channels by how frequently you post videos and how many views. Time does not allow me to post as often as I would like. I'm happy that you enjoy my content please share my link to others that many benefit from it. Thank you for watching.

[@Jemmyjo]

@@PoppyHillDesigns I will most definitely share your videos. I wish there were more videos like this. I don’t think I have ever seen one and I have really needed it. I do sublimation, htv, rhinestones, designing, etc, but being able to get those measurements will make the project look better and go faster. You should keep at this as time allows! I get it. I have a farm that takes my time. I Have to grab my time when I can.

in the UK we call that 'teflon paper' from the Poundshop it's the oven safe stuff - the brown stuff.

Is this something that’s waterproof like to make a metal cross for cemetery site? Love it!

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

I don't think it would do well outside for a long period of time,

Bellísimo. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Blessings

@@PoppyHillDesigns which photo shop you are using thanks

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

@@glorialuciano4824 I use Photoshop CC 2022, it's a subscription based plan for $9.99/mo that gives me the latest versions of PhotoShop and Lightroom (for photography). You should be able to use this technique with any version of PhotoShop.

Thanks poppy

Great video, I just bought some Dollar tree metal and wondered if it would sublimate. I would like to spray paint white b4 adding the laminating pouch and then sub. Would that work?

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

Yes, I use Rust-oleum High Heat White spray paint, costs around $5.00 a can. I did another video using metal tags with different topping that may be of help to you, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWaxYoWLrKuKfa8

[@Clamlifenc]

Great information, thank u

[@BloomandBranch]

Thank you for this video. I purchased this exact item from our local Dollar Tree yesterday, so I decided to try this same method. I followed your video exactly, but mine did not transfer. Laminating pouch matte side down, preheated, placed sublimation printed image face down and pressed for 60 seconds on 400 degrees with firm pressure. My image did not transfer. Is it possible the colors of the design image I chose are too light?

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

Muted colors will come out light, but you should still be able to see them. Did you use the Scotch thermal pouches? If not it could be that the brand you are using does not have the qualities necessary for the sublimation process to work.

[@DoSmtCreativeEvryday]

Where did you find your design it's so pretty,thank you for sharing

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

I purchased it from Designbundles.net.

[@krissypoglese8884]

How do you know if you sublimate on it its a white big blank sign

[@sandyrichardson209]

I love this! Do you have a video on adding digital papers into PS?

[@ELTABULLO]

Like adding paper textures as a background?

[@papamrk1343]

This is AWESOME. What did the metal cost?... Thanks again.

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

I purchased it from the Dollar Tree for $1.00.

[@MrRaboyto]

Great video! Is it possible to sublimate to a more three dimensional surface, like a steel dvd case, and have the image go around the corners

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

I don't think so. The heat press needs to press the image firmly to the top, and wouldn't be able to press the sides.

[@elizabethhaddock8103]

Do you know if this would work with infusible ink? I saw a video explaining how to use infusible ink by painting a poly? something on it then applying the infusible ink. I can't find the video anywhere. Just wondering if the laminate would work the same way.

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

I haven't used infusible ink so I don't know if it would work or not. Maybe ask on one of the Cricut groups, they might have the answer or point you in the right direction to find it.

[@susanmidlarsky2571]

My laminating sheet developed lots of bubbles. Yours looks like it was sticky laying it down. Why is that? The product you have linked isn't sticky. Please advise, thanks!

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

I use the 3M brand, they are not sticky and have had really good results from it. Make sure you are placing the rough side of the sheet against the metal and apply heavy pressure.

[@susanmidlarsky2571]

@@PoppyHillDesigns Apologies, I thought this was a different video.

[@CadGuy619]

Wouldn't it have been easier to scan youe substrate?

[@PoppyHillDesigns]

Sure you could scan it, I've actually done that. Not everyone has a scanner that's why it demonstrated it the way I did.

PLEASE consider doing a voice over on this vid. We can barely hear you. YT volume 100%, laptop volume 100%, no TV or any background noise in the room, yet your voice is nearly inaudible. Your project looks super cute, I've often wondered how I could use metal in my craft and I still do not know. So, please, please, please redo it. Thank you!

I can hear her just fine
