Thanks for showing how to sublimate on the cutting boards. I have several and the 651 vinyl just need to get the courage to try. I also love design bundle.
Another great video! Thanks. I love that you show your items and mistakes in your videos. It really helps understand the process and I don't feel so silly when it happens to me! lol. Hugs to you
Hello Marilyn I am new to your channel and this is awesome thank you so much for sharing this. I definitely want to try this they will make great gifts.
I know this video is older but I enjoy your style and teaching. You may or may not see this question but I think you will have the best answer as you have obviously used DT glass cutting boards a while ago. I’m wondering if you found that the ones you used 651 to sublimate on have faded quickly. I want to make them for a small club as raffle items but don’t want to find out they fade quickly. Hoping to hear from you.
Thank you so much! Over time, the ink has migrated some, resulting in a somewhat blurry effect. It didn’t happen quickly but it seems like someone told me once that their’s got blurry in a couple of months.
Thank you Ms. Marilyn! I couldn't get my vinyl to adhere flatly on the smooth side... it's like lifting gorilla glued mess, so I'm trying this on the textured side. Much easier. Letting it cool now and will use the water bath method for releasing the image.
I hope it works out well for you. What brand of sublimation paper are you using? I have seen that TextPrint R supposedly doesn't stick and you can peel it off after the vinyl cools, so I ordered some off of Amazon and it arrived. If that is true, then I won't have to use the water bath. I will test it soon. Also, I ended up buying some liquid that helps you get all your bubbles out. Thanks!
get a spray bottle and put a drop of Dawn dishwashing liquid in it. cut a round or square piece of vinyl in your cutting machine 7.75 X 7.75 spray down smooth side and get wet. put vinyl on wet glass, you will notice it's moveable now. when you have it positioned correctly, use your squeegee on a towel to smooth vinyl , use towel to dry. I sublimate for 170 seconds at 350 then open press and look, then sublimate another 170 secs at 350 and let cool completely. Don't try to peel paper off, put glass and paper in a sink of water and let soak for atleast 30 mins, paper will peel off easily. I have made hundreds of these using this method and have messed up very few.
one more thing, I use multiple types of paper but the one that peels off easiest is the koala paper. It has jammed in my et2720 before but it is the easiest peeler for the round or square cutting boards
That's a great way to handle it! I recently bought some of that cork in the The Dollar Tree Store. It was the first time I had seen it there. Since this video, I bought some TexPrint R sublimation paper and it peels off. It is expensive, so I only use it for cutting boards. Your way works just as well, though! Thank you so much for sharing the idea!
I just want to make sure I got this right before I make one. You put the vinyl on the side where the feet were. Then you put the Gnomes on the cutting side?
I think I made this video before discovering Rapid Tack. I remember I did one or two before discovering it and it has made a big difference on how smoothly the vinyl goes on.
I am sorry to hear that! Is your vinyl on the bottom of the cutting board so that the heat of the press platen is not touching it? In other words, the layering is (from bottom to top) blowout paper, sublimation paper, vinyl, glass cutting board, blowout paper on top (may not be necessary), then heat platen?
I have only used oracle permanent vinyl but if you try it with another brand, let us know if it worked. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. If I have another brand of permanent vinyl, I will try it.
I have not tried either of these methods to clean my boards but would not recommend it. I just use a damp, soapy rag and then rinse it off. Thank you for watching!!!
Thank you for letting us know about the windex option. Hopefully it can save other people money:) I changed sublimation paper brands and it comes off without leaving paper, but I will keep the Glue B Gone in mind. Thanks again.
I find that sublimation paper works better for me, but some people sublimate using regular printer paper. I do not. know, but I suspect regular printer paper might stick a bit more but you could wipe that off with water and a rag. Sublimation ink is required though for this project.
I haven't tried the glossy, but am up for the challenge:) Does your glossy Oracal 651 actually say that it is glossy. I have some white Oracal 651 that I got at Michaels. It's definitely not matte, but it doesn't say glossy either. It just says it's white permanent vinyl. It is pretty shiny, but I don't know if this is what you have?

Good luck with it! I hope it goes well:) Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!!!
The gnomes are so cute, and that is a great deal on the heat press.
Thank you Barbara!

Thank you Marjorie! I truly appreciate your comment!

You're welcome Lucy! These are really fun to make, especially because they are so inexpensive to make:)
Good video thanks looks good ❤

Great tutorial!! Super cute design. Thank you!!

Thank you! I got it off of Design Bundles. I noticed that they have a set of Gnomes in their $1 deal today:)

@@johnnyfudpucker6187 Do you think a none stick cilicone matte would work vs the bucher paper that sticks to the back?
I like it thank you
Thank you!!!
Instead of removing all the paper on the back, I have used self sticking cork. It covers all that up and looks finished.

i will be using laminate.. if i sublimate on the bumpy side, can it be used as a cutting board and food safe? ty
If you’re saying you will lamiminate the top and sublimate on the top, then no it won’t be and you will likely cut into the film.
I just want to make sure I got this right before I make one. You put the vinyl on the side where the feet were. Then you put the Gnomes on the cutting side?
@@jeanjohnson7917 you put the vinyl on the bottom where the feet were. You put your sublimation image against the vinyl.
I didn’t see you use the Rapid Tack…did you?
I think I made this video before discovering Rapid Tack. I remember I did one or two before discovering it and it has made a big difference on how smoothly the vinyl goes on.
Cool project. But there are much easier ways to get a similar result than cutting vinyl and then transferring it just to be able to print.
Thanks for watching. Yes, my preference is to use true sublimation blanks but I like to show options.
My oracle 651 vinyl warped with the heat press. Used same settings and press time. Any suggestions?
I am sorry to hear that! Is your vinyl on the bottom of the cutting board so that the heat of the press platen is not touching it? In other words, the layering is (from bottom to top) blowout paper, sublimation paper, vinyl, glass cutting board, blowout paper on top (may not be necessary), then heat platen?
What is the red "scraper" you use to get the bubbles out?
Here is a link to it so you can check it out. Thanks for watching!!! amzn.to/3p5tuys
does it have to be oracle 651 or any brand permanent vinyl
I have only used oracle permanent vinyl but if you try it with another brand, let us know if it worked. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. If I have another brand of permanent vinyl, I will try it.
I saw someone using TexPrint R 120 gram sublimation paper and it peels off in one piece after the glass has cooled down some.
That's what I ended up using on a later video and it worked well. ua-cam.com/video/FV8QsEfg9mA/v-deo.html
Can you wash it in the dishwasher or soak it in the sink
I have not tried either of these methods to clean my boards but would not recommend it. I just use a damp, soapy rag and then rinse it off. Thank you for watching!!!
Windex is far less expensive than $17 that you paid. Also Glue B Gone is better than soap&water
Thank you for letting us know about the windex option. Hopefully it can save other people money:) I changed sublimation paper brands and it comes off without leaving paper, but I will keep the Glue B Gone in mind. Thanks again.
do you have to use sublimation paper?

Will it work with Cricut vinyl?
I don't have any white cricut vinyl to try it on, so I don't know if it will or not. Is your vinyl a permanent vinyl?
Do you have to use matte vinyl?
I haven't tried the glossy, but am up for the challenge:) Does your glossy Oracal 651 actually say that it is glossy. I have some white Oracal 651 that I got at Michaels. It's definitely not matte, but it doesn't say glossy either. It just says it's white permanent vinyl. It is pretty shiny, but I don't know if this is what you have?
It doesn’t have Oracal written on the back sheet. The white is shiny and not matte.
@@marthamcintyre2435 Interesting. Mine says Oracal 651 on the back with the words Intermediate Cal below it. I will give it a try soon.
I have used both matte and glossy both work fine
@@johnnyfudpucker6187 thank you for letting us know both have worked for you.
Try clear vinyl it looks cool too
I love that idea! Is there a particular brand that you have used? Thank you for the suggestion.
I have made hundreds of these with white oracal , so i imagine any image will look good as long as there isn't white in it if you use clear?
So the white vinyl stays on the back ?
Yes, it does.
Here is a newer video that probably explains the process a little better. Thank you for watching!!! ua-cam.com/video/FV8QsEfg9mA/v-deo.html
