dont think the insides and the bottom are coated with a sublimation coating which is why it fails. There is a sublimation spray that you can use which may work on the inside but as it stands I dont think it's a time or weight issue
Thank you for doing this! I just watched that video with the sand before yours and I had such high hopes for using my Cricut mugs and press to print the inside. Thank you for doing this because you just saved me time and materials!!
thank you for the tutorial. while watching, i had an idea. not sure if you want to try it. but what about using cheese cloth or canvas to hold the sand. like in a pouch of some kind. like when you make a sandbag. i dont know what sandbags are made of but a mini version should work the same. or maybe a bag of heat rocks? really small ones to add weight? just an idea.
I was wondering the same thing, is the inside of the mug sub coated but also if you wanted to retry it, maybe load the sand inside a heatproof bag first and that way, you could press the bag inside the mug so it's really tight against the sides maybe and see how that goes but would there any health issues with the ink coming off and being ingested over a period of time?
What about laying the subli-shrink onto of the inside image, heating the subli-shrink then filing with sand? Maybe try the cuo press and oven again trying that?
Hi Tammy! Subli shrink works best if it is wrapped around something. I am afraid it would just shrink on the bottom of the mug. Doesn't hurt to try, though! Thank you for the tip! - Agata
I would love this for decoration only but not sure if i would drink from it. I really wanted it to work. Maybe we can try a sublimation spray so it will stick or maybe use a smaller heat safe cup and fill that with sand and place it inside the cup. You have my mind thinking now lol.
Hi there, loved the video & have 2 questions , 1, where did you get your tape dispenser from ..?? 2, where did you get your heat proof gloves from ...??
That would be super cool if you could do that, however, is the ink food safe, or safe to drink from? I wonder if the inside is even coated for sublimation, and if the coating would be safe? Also, I know they make the spray to coat items and make them sublimate, but again, I'd worry about safety with that!
I am trying to get some information on that! I saw someone doing that so I thought it has to be safe but now seeing no results... I am reconsidering. Anyway I will do some research and if it's safe I will try again!
I would think it would be safe to the extent that your mouth touches the sublimation on the outside of mugs and tumblers. I personally don’t think the inside is coated to do so. I have seen videos inside a sublimation factory and they were sprayed upside down. Nice thought, though!
@@connieabner my thoughts exactly, plus the mugs get washed. silly comments saying they would not drink from it,I guess full mug wraps are out for them lol
Is the inside of the mug treated for sublimating? Would that be safe to have contact with hot beverages? If so, what if you filled the mug with sand very full to the top, then placed a heavy disk of some sort that normally would fit inside the mug, but you put it on top of the sand, pressed it down and added a shrink wrap around the mug from top to bottom? Do you think that would be enough pressure?
I agree with most of the comments on the post - no sublimation coating on the inside. I doubt if Cricut would do that because the Mug Press isn't intended to print the inside of a mug. Also, it seems to me, I heard that the bottom of the Mug Press does not heat.
I saw another crafter that had sublimated pictures inside his mugs but he did not do them, he buys them pre-done so he doesn’t know how they do it either. I’m sure it has to have the sublimation coating on it but I wonder if they bake it after sublimating to ‘gas’ off anything left inside the mugs?
Hi there! Yes, we think that my be the issue! We also tried using a sublimation spray but it didn't work well either. We've reached out to sublimation companies and hopefully someone will create a product that will make this possible!
I agree with the other folks here....the inside is not set to be sublimated. However, either is COTTON...we use film right? Why not try it with film? The sand in a bag is good - keeps the mess down. Just a thought.😁
Hi Vicki! Sublimation designs are printed using the PNG file and the infusible paper is cut using the SVG. If the design is available in that type of file and can be cut, it could work! You may want to send the image in to mail@designbundles.net and we can take a look! - Dawn 🥰
I wonder if there is a silicone insert created for the inside of the mugs. Various sizes, of course. If not, that’s something that I think would work well for this process. What do you think?
I believe the inside is not coated for sublimation. Also, the thoughts about it being a carcinogen or not good safe… if it isn’t food safe they wouldn’t put it on a substrate that is intended to come in contact with your mouth. A lot of things are toxic to you until they are cured. For instance, you aren’t going to lick liquid glazing for ceramics. But after it has cured properly you can use the mugs, bowls and plates that it’s applied to. There may be other issues with a liquid sitting inside a mug that has been coated and cured, but I doubt that as well. There are plenty of other sublimation items that come in contact with food, like plates and trays and such. Sublimation plates are not just for decoration, unless specified. Just my 2 cents! 😊
I been a member and I have the option to use Design Scape but never really have because I don’t know how to I have tried but just gave in would be nice to see more videos out there on how to use it
I was also thinking that the mugs might not be coated on the inside. One way to get around that would be to coat the inside of the mug yourself. However, I'm not sure that's safe. My concern is that the solution might contaminate any liquid you would put inside the mug. I read one review on Amazon that said that PolyGloss Sublimation coating is FDA compliant once it has been cured. And then I read another one that said it has not been tested for food safety. I'm not sure what to believe.
I'm not sure if anyone has suggested putting a paper weight or some kind of weight onto the image and then putting the sand on top of it. Then, wrap the mug.
@@DesignBundlesmaybe an all steel “C” clamp? 🗜️ fill the mug 1/2 way with sand, use 2 wooden discs, one for the outside button and one for the inside on top of the sand. Once the 2 disks are in place, apply pressure to the sand by tightening the c clamp 🗜️. Might have to use a special sublimation spray at the bottom of the cup or I’ve seen people use Avery clear page protectors, laminating sheets that are sticky on one side. If you were to cut one of the sheets into a circle that would fit in the bottom of the cup, sticky side dow, then your printed sublimation paper face down, sand, wood disk then c clamp 🗜️. Tighten till secure and place into oven for 80 min at 400 degrees. You might have to test the time and temp.
Maybe cricut should come out with mugs with a nontoxic sub coating on the inside and a hand held heat tool that fits in the bottom. It would be nice if there was a nontoxic coating we could put on and a heat gun would be hot enough. Then we'd just need to transfer the heat through pressure somehow. I'm not mechanical or enginerical 😂 but I'm sure someone in the crafting world can figure it out.
I've seen plenty of videos that use the convection oven with just taping the design on the outside of the cup and it working with no extra pressure. I believe it's just not able to be done on the inside unless it specifies it can be done.
Hi great video we need a like a branding hot tool that has a circle wide enough to fit the inside of the mugs with cord on top of handle thank u an 💡 👍
sand would apply enough pressure so that is not the problem. its definitely not coated for sublimation on the inside, you should do a test using subliglaze
@@DesignBundles how do you get the wrap to not melt. Every time I try using it, from the minutes I set it in, it melts and by the time I'm at 4 minutes or so, it melts holes in the sides... I've got a hard, white, clump (now brown) in my pan. At least that's how it was with my tumblers.
Not sure if it’s okay to post a link so if my last post disappears go to Amazon and look for a “circle cutter”. It’s adjustable up to 12” and cuts circles 😊
Hi Brandy! We haven't had success adding anything to the inside or bottom as we get that correct pressure. We are working on it though! Stay tuned! - Dawn
Add Some Rocks maybe, Just an idea. Or put it on outside bottom of the cup and tape it down tight. That being said, I think a few people just posted the correct answers below Thanks Chrystal
You can use a regular oven but like mentioned below I would make sure I have a separate one for this purpose. Sublimation releases gases in the process. You can wash your mug easily and make it ready to use, with oven it is a bit more complicated
Good attempt. Where it failed is the inside mug does not have the sublimation coating. All sublimation mugs have a special coating on the outside, not the inside. But, good try😎
How do we know that the mugs are sublimated on the inside?? I believe that this is the big question. Unless you can confirm tha,t I don't see this ever working
@@DesignBundles Yes, on some packages containing liquid or spray coating, a warning is written that due to the chemicals that endanger human health, it is better not to apply coating even on the edge of the mug in contact with lips.
I agree with @stephenantcliff9127 I've watch the CHINESE videos on how they coat the cups and they set the cups on Peg from the inside as they sprayed the outside... So I think you are on the right track though!! Great Video!
Hey Miranda! We never did find a solution that worked!! We're hoping that sublimation companies come up with a way to cover the whole mug rather than just the outside! - Dawn
Thank you for trying this out. I'm fairly new to sublimating so I don't know all the ins and outs but I would think you would not want your drink with the sublimation (because of the gases) so maybe that's why it doesn't have a coating. That aside, for pressure I liked someone's idea of heated rocks. I was thinking about the sand tho, what if the sand was damp or wet. Sand is heavy but wet sand might make it more compact and even heavier. You could always put some parchment paper between your sublimation paper and the sand so it didn't get wet at all. It's just a thought I had as I watched. 🤷 Thank you again for your videos. They are always very helpful. ☺️ Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Jamie! Thank you so much. I think that it is not a popular thing to do honestly and a lot of a hassle to put coating inside. I have tried using sublimation coating that is food and drink safe here ua-cam.com/video/vo-p1jTYRSs/v-deo.html . Check out what happened 😊
Ok. I saw on you tube how to print your favorite photos inside of a mug but he use a vacuum press . I think that's what it's call . Check it out at Technic Guru . I think the video is a few years old.

This was my thought as well!
the issue is drinking from a sublimatible inside. I would try the bottom outside
also I have been successful with the handle
This is my thought as well
I think so too. But also did the sand get hot enough as well.
Thank you for doing this! I just watched that video with the sand before yours and I had such high hopes for using my Cricut mugs and press to print the inside. Thank you for doing this because you just saved me time and materials!!
Hi! We are so happy to help! That is exactly why we are doing those! To save you time and money 🤗 - Agata
Normally, cups are never coated with polymer on the inside! Because this coating dissolves when in contact with hot liquids and this is carcinogenic

Great idea! I have to find a blank that has sublimation coating inside too... if it exists
Maybe use a c-clamp and a round disc and create the pressure. Similar to when we push brake cylinders back in.

i believe most sublimation mugs and tumblers only have the outside sublimation ready, especially since the inside goes in contact with food and drinks
Yea that's what I think too ... trying to find out if there is an alternative

Working on it!
Hi there, loved the video & have 2 questions , 1, where did you get your tape dispenser from ..?? 2, where did you get your heat proof gloves from ...??
Is the paper you printed the outside design on special paper or just regular print paper?
Me too! Inside of mugs are probably not coated. Cheaper to make the mug that way; and sublimation is normally done on the outside 😉
Yeaaa I realized it... I am working on making this work ! Not Giving up!
I love that you posted a failure, it saves us work! I imagine the sublimation chemical is not in the inside of the mug.
Water slide transfer then bake or porcelain paint pens then bake or Cricut etc… vinyl cut letters and cover with food safe epoxy. Hope this helps.

In the thumbnail picture, you have the inside sides sublimated. Is that just a mock up picture? Or did you actually sublimate the inside sides?
That is just a mockup
Where do you get the paper you shrunk around the mug?
You can find it here it is called Subli Shrink - amzn.to/3OvMqSY

Good idea!
I also think it’s that the inside of cup does not have a sublimation coating. I don’t know if a sublimation coating would be food safe or not.

There’s no poly coat inside for it to press to

Thank k you.
Wonder if rocks would work 😊
Interesting idea
What about putting a weight in the bottom
Hi Donna! What type of weight would you suggest?

Yea I think sublimation coating is the key but if I figure out how to do it I will definitely try again
Try putting the sand in a sock or or cloth bag.
Good idea ! Gosh that would save me the hassle :) Thank you Teri
Is this safe? To drink out of? Chemicals?
It didn't work. But we used Easy Subli later that is food safe :)
Would that be safe?
Working on the way for it to be safe :)
The inside of the mug is not coated with plastic. So it won't work, do I see that right?
You are right!
Perhaps spray the bottom with sublimation spray.
Perhaps ;) Might be testing it now ;)
Is this food safe though?
Trying to find out now... probably that's why it didn't work...
I believe the inside is not coated with sublimation...
I agree - inside not coated - sublimation treated.
Seems to be right, trying to figure out how to make it
I believe there is no coating on the inside of the mug. Maybe you could use a poly coating on the bottom and then do it again. Thanks!!!
It would be helpful if you gave us sizes in your videos of the template
Hi there! We can definitely add more of that information into the videos. Thank you for your feedback! - Dawn
Does it work to sublimate in a regular oven? 🤔
You wouldn’t want to sublimate in an appliance that you also use to cook food.
You can use a regular oven but like mentioned below I would make sure I have a separate one for this purpose. Sublimation releases gases in the process. You can wash your mug easily and make it ready to use, with oven it is a bit more complicated

The inside has no polymer coating to accept the dye.
There is not a sublimation coating on the bottom of the cup. That's why it does not work it has to be coated
My thought was another glass filled with sand and taped down for pressure, but still agree that I would'nt drink from it
There are plenty mugs like these amzn.to/3GK83gq so there has to be a way!
It cannot be sub until it is coated inside the mug. And because the coating is carcinogenic, they don't coat the inside of the mug.

Maby when you try it with tape and no sand
Hey Miranda! We never did find a solution that worked!! We're hoping that sublimation companies come up with a way to cover the whole mug rather than just the outside! - Dawn
apparently, you have to have a 3D Vacuum Machine to sublimate the botton of mugs also using sand

True!
Correct the mugs are not coated for sublimation.
