What You Should Absolutely Never Do When You Iron on Wood

[@debbieestes9746]

I really should have watched this before I tried ironing on wood...made numerous mistakes that I probably would not have made if I had watched this first! Thanks for all the good info!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

Thanks again MGL, made a nice DTF sign for DIL, but put on iron on saying, I had painted it with White Chalk from FolkArt, so today I was upset when my letters would not stick. You answered the question. I had the adhered enough I am polycoating them later.

Sandpaper was originally graded by how many rocks (grit) would fit on a square inch-so….the smaller the pieces, the more would fit. Imagine 1500 tiny pieces, and you’ll see why higher numbers result in smoother finish.

[@Shelly35able]

I literally just did a lot of this! I cooked all of the paint on my round. I used my big heat press

[@Mary-zy5ru]

I made a wood round with a 4th of July cow and I painted it with white bear house paint and it worked great. I should have let it dry a little longer but it worked great.

[@karenhadden4980]

To get rid of the blotchiness when staining your wood (especially plywood and select pine) put on a pre stain wood conditioner prior to staining.

[@CristinaRiveraBeauty]

Great tip, thank you!

[@solodreamy]

What do you recommend for sealing it? I make signs and bookstands but I want to be able to seal the htv design on them to where they won't be affected by anything

[@nikkifritchie2701]

is it possible to sublimate on HTV on wood. Here is what I want to do. I have a wood round that I have stained and I want to put a sublimated design for a nursery on it. However the stain is a red oak and it is a little dark, so I wondered if I could create an off set around the design and cut the offset from HTV and sublimate the design on it so it shows up?

[@valerie750]

I love your teaching style. You are so informative and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks a bunch.

[@MLLatUtube]

So is it better to use regular vinyl on wood projects?

[@GDISinc]

Okay the heat is 300 how long do we need to apply the heat to the wood and do we need to preheat the wood? Thanks for the video!

[@carolschafer4667]

The Dollar Tree does have sanding blocks that are pretty good :)

[@kawestley1965]

I strongly recommend a 160 grade to the sanding 220 it worth The money for a better quality sad paper. I've been working with wood cuting building sense a child lowes or home depot cand help you.

[@brookestruve2842]

Where is the link to the video on you actually going through the process of sublimation on wood? I thought it was mentioned that it would be linked below?

I’m making a lazy Susan and I bought an already stain lazy Susan and I’m going to iron on words on it but I was wondering if I can put a clear coat of something over it that won’t make letters come off

[@ashleymatson6381]

If using a bamboo wood coaster or ceramic tile with htv do they need to be sealed first for protection against water from cup? If so should I seal before or after htv placement? Thank you!

[@carolineblanchette2860]

Stupid question… if I have black heat transfer vinyl can I put my vinyl on wood first and then stain the wood after?

[@michelelee7977]

Why don’t you use permanent vinyl instead? I did it on two projects and it worked well.

[@LeighAnnRuopp]

Is it all Folk Art Paint that is an issue? I used the Folk Art chalk paint before trying to use HTV. I didn’t watch this first, and i failed miserably, however I was doing EVERYTHING you said not to do.

[@cats4992]

Thank you for all your help! You give great details and will def help with my current project!!

[@carolschafer4667]

I don't see the links to the how-to do wood iron on?

[@HubbaColo]

Click the tiny down arrow right of the title of the video, this while your video is in small screen KZbin rather than full screen.

[@lori-jocarroll]

Totally thorough good information. Thank you Rachel.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@sharonhill5246]

That is my project for today. Paint wood rounds for Halloween door hangers!! You read my mind!!! 😂 Thank you for the info!!!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Have fun!

[@patriciamora2915]

Also I was wondering if you cutout words and make a stencil or you use a stencil with alphabets is there something you can use to stick stencil to wood to paint the letters on

[@CristinaRiveraBeauty]

I have a mouse sander, will that work or should I go get a block sander like you have?

[@Hija.De.Luna25]

What if I mix cotton fibers into my paint? Imma test it on dollar tree stuff!

[@janetmenchyk9778]

Can I iron on wood then poly coat to use vinyl? Or can I just paint then be able to use both?

[@LesleyChandlercrafts]

This was a very informative tutorial. thanks so much!

I'm not the great at sanding. Would I be able to have it sanded at the store? I usually go to either Home Depot or Lowe's.

Do I use parchment paper?

[@kathrynkalafsky7030]

Do you need to seal htv when using on projects that will be used outdoors?

[@gypsypath1]

Has anyone tried latex paint (the type of paint you would use on walls and ceilings)?

[@verybusymum]

What font is that on your t shirt please?

[@dorothyslade489]

Very interesting video I’ve learnt such a lot best video I’ve watched regarding iron Ing on wood

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Wow, thank you!

[@provisionsave.8188]

doesn't look like the links were added (I'm on a 32" screen so the "if you're on a small screen, do this" doesn't apply). Thanks for the video

[@Joani161]

Thank you. Please one time with the sanding and good wood is enough.

[@dorothyslade489]

Brilliant video best video by far

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Aww! Thanks so much!

[@jennlozeau]

Can u use heat transfer on polyurethane

[@kimmajor4301]

Why use htv over using permanent vinyl??

[@lilybecerra2035]

Ty !

[@solodreamy]

Can you please attach the links you said you would put below? Thank you in advance ☺️

[@HubbaColo]

When you have KZbin in small screen, look over to the right of the title block which is underneath the video. There’s a tiny arrow. Touch or click it, and you will see the attachments to which they refer.

[@solodreamy]

@@HubbaColo oh yeah I know I thought she said she had some videos to link. I just didn't see them attached 🥺. Thank you though ☺️

[@smeg8557]

HI was wondering if you can help me? I tried using HTV on a wood sign but when I removed the backing it left little yellow marks on the wood, any idea why this would happen? Thank You!!

[@ashleymatson6381]

I had the same thing happen. I’m wondering if I didn’t let the paint dry enough even though I thought it was dry I didn’t wait but a couple hours

[@smeg8557]

@@ashleymatson6381 I gave up on doing it. I just started using the decals. I might try it again. Maybe I didn’t let the paint dry also, I don’t think I did actually.

[@ashleymatson6381]

@@smeg8557 I’m going to try again this week and let the paint dry over night. I was also using my large heat press and not the mini so maybe between those things it will work? I don’t know! I just want my stuff to look nice so I’ll keep trying I guess haha

[@smeg8557]

@@ashleymatson6381 do you know what I didn’t think of that? Also, my press is a 16 x 20 so it’s really big. Lol

Can you use a regular Iron for and on the HTV TRANSFERS ?

[@billijohenning5169]
