This IS ONE OF THE FEW INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS, I WATCH IN ITS ENTIRETY. Great presentation and honesty in your video. Good luck, look forward to more videos.
Angie, you are so awesome to test this stuff out for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'm bummed that it didn't work out but you saved me a fortune in investing in these myself.
When you have scorching from the heat press, doing sublimation, you can lightly spray the scorched area with hydrogen peroxide and it should take the brown marks away.
The PolyCoats are really for specific projects and takes a lot more time. It is worth sticking to professional sublimation blanks. Did want to mention - tape upper parts of mugs where mouths will be if someone will be drinking from the mug. Also, use a very fine sand paper over the mug after the coating has dried and this will make it smooth. I’ve also seen pros lightly sand mugs before putting on the poly coating as they say it helps. For shirts, if you wet the edges (with water before pressing) where you sprayed the poly , but are not sublimating it helps to not get the darkened area. You can also lightly spray brown areas with peroxide/water right after, leave for a bit, and then rinse. Love your channel! Thanks for keeping us inspired!
OMG! Hope I don’t seem like too much of a geek but I’m so stoked over the past few videos that you’ve posted! It’s all the sublimation information that I’ve been looking for. Thanks 😊!
Thank you for this video. I was wondering how these products would work. You definitely answered my question. I truly appreciate your videos. Thanks for being you.
On the sublimation spray for fabrics, I used it on 100% cotton towels & washed them with just baking soda in the washer & tumble dried like normal and it came off no issues. I used the same product as well as a different company's spray which is similar.
thank you so much for experimenting with these products, I was looking into trying this coating process but I will continue to use my sublimation blank mugs. Thanks!!! 😀
As soon as you started Mixing... I just decided to bite the bullet and BUY SUBLIMATION MUGS... Especially as a business... With that warning about not applying where body contacted would be... Dont need lawsuits. Thanks for this info... always looking for easier, faster and CHEAPER... Thanks again...BEST VIDEOS EVER!!
Angie, thanks for the instructional video. I purchased the Ngoodiez sub coating for mugs. It did not come with instructions. I found your video thinking it would tell me how to use it. However, what it did shows me is that this is a product I really don't want to even fool with at all. So, it's going back to Amazon and I will purchase mugs already set up for sublimation. Thanks for passing on your expertise.
you should try sublimation spray for your self at least cotton clothes ,but not like she did ,she did it the wrong way,dont put so much,one spray for one spot no more than that then wear your gloves and spread it even,lastly let it dry ,also choose a good brand ,I been use sprays for so long never had a problem
You do the greatest videos that save us all so much time and money! This may sound weird, but I am glad it wasn't a success because i dont want to be tempted to buy even more stuff. For me, having a dedicated oven for the ceramics is a non-starter. I just don't have tons of room for that type of thing. So I likely will never do mugs at all. But for fabrics I'll stick with polyester shirts
I also was hoping for one to be a success as there are so many cute inexpensive items we would be able to sublimate if it would have worked. Maybe in the near future there will be a company that will come out with a quality product seeing as a demand for one is on the rise!!
Thank you Angie- you saved me some money and I appreciate it. I think for now, I will stay away from trying these products. I could clearly see the difference. I was , however- surprised that the cotton took the ink ( the un-sublimated side) fairly well. I thought it wouldn't print at all
Angie, once again another terrific video!!! Question on the WRMK mug wrap. Did you like using that? I find that fascinating!!! Do any of your previous videos show how to use that from start to finish (oven temp, time in oven, etc). I've never seen that wrap before. Thanks!
@@AngieHolden on that note, I just purchased the WRMK kit on HSN. But now afraid to use it because everyone said it smells horrible when placed in the oven. Did you experience the smell? using a sublimation mug blank.
Thank you! Made my life so much better! I was debating on getting those exact stuff! I will pass on it. And just spend the extra money on the sublimation products
Instructions do say if you oversaturate the shirt, for the spray on fabric, it will turn yellow. Will be trying on a cotton sweater. Gonna give it a go.
Interesting video. The WRMK wrap seemed to work well with the sublimation blank. I recently bought the set at a greatly reduced price so if everything works except the coating, I'm OK with that. I'm hoping the wraps will work on tumblers also.
Thanks for your videos. I've seen other videos that talk about the yellowing being gone after washing. Let us know when you wash that shirt. Also, I read in the comments about someone having success with Poly T Plus and Gloss for shirts and mugs. Will check in again to see if you try those. I looked for that product at Hobby Lobby and didn't see it. (Poly T Plus.). Thanks again! Excellent videos.
Not sure about these, but the Subli-T spray is amazing and works wonders. Also, the little bit of yellowing can be fixed by a quick spray of peroxide. You can sublimate in cotton and it will look great until you wash it. Because the ink has nothing to bond with, it will wash out. Otherwise, the spray I use works great, those cheap brands are terrible.
I think she sprayed too much on the shirt because I spray with homemade Poly t and I have great results and sell them at my daughter's pro shop with no yellowing
Hello, when I apply the sublimation liquid to a ceramic mug, does it become ready for printing? I put it on my freesub heat transfer machine and of course the picture will be with tape, is that enough?
Very helpful. I've tried another brand of poly spray for cotton and it was pretty good--but not 100%. So I'm not a fan of polyester shirts. Do you have a recommendation for poly shirts that are thicker and feel/look more like cotton? THanks.
Silk screen is where you use ink to paint the fabric. You can see how here: ua-cam.com/video/swUa26489Uo/v-deo.html and sublimation is where there is a reaction and the ink is embedded into the fibers of the shirt for instance. Here is a basics on it: ua-cam.com/video/JrsGjCVz5YA/v-deo.html
Reading online for multiple coating brands. The majority of them recommend that you cover the cotton item with another piece of cotton or cover your press with a piece of cotton to help balance the heat so it doesn’t over heat the area and cause the yellow/brown discoloration on shirts. They demonstrate it in some of the video’s and it seems to work really well. Maybe that would help??
I will be doing more tests with products made with the mug wrap in the oven so stay tuned. I will be testing some more coatings and options for shirts and when I find out that I like, I will do wash tests!
Love the test and the information. Will be trying more of them? I know people seem to like Dyepress poly T plus for fabric and Dyepress polygloss. I even heard people using polycrylic not only on hard surfaces but mix it to use on fabric. Have you heard of it or tried it? Thanks for the video!
I bought some dyepress poly T, it's still in the box...scared to try it. They sent a free small sample of gloss with my order. I also ordered their matte for wood, that's really what I want to try. But still...all of it is still in the box with FEAR written all over it, which is kind of surprising, I'm usually willing to jump right in LOL.
Angie hi, regarding the fabric poly spray, was wondering if you have tried this technique using your heat press instead of the Cricut press. I've seen a UA-cam video showing no yellowing on a 100% cotton sweat shirt using a regular heat press. I've tried using my Cricut heat press several times with a poly spray and no matter what temp I use, there's yellowing (like it burns the t-shirt). So I'm wondering if maybe the result would be more favorable using a regular heat press.
Would you mind doing something like this for clear glass? I'm most interested in wine bottles. I make wine at home and would love to just sublimate the labels so I don't have to replace the labels every time I reuse the bottle.
You can do sublimation on any sublimation blank and there are a ton of tumblers and wine glasses on the market for that. I have not found a coating that I am happy with to apply to these products, however.
Hi Ms. Angie I am getting into sublimation and having a very hard time. I downloaded the ICC Drivers for my ET-2720 have the hipoo ink. However, when I use my polyester item the image does not transfer to the material. I have a Vevor 8 in 1 heat press. Can you please help me figure out what I am doing wrong? Please!!!
I'm wondering if washing the shirt afterwards would remove the yellowing? Also what does it look like after 5 washes? I'm disappointed in the Memory Makers spray, they are a well known and reliable source for a lot of crafting supplies and I would have expected much better results. I've enjoyed your videos so much (and even though I'm a Silhouette owner by preference, at the time I first started you could not use Cricut without the internet, so now I have a Cameo 4 and a Portrait ) I find so much information that crosses manufacturers and so many creative ideas that I can't resist every video you make, they're terrific! Just a quick rating on your Sublimation Journal, I haven't found places to put many of the pieces of information is like to keep track of, mainly a place to print a page with a photo of the project design, the type and brand of substrate used, where I bought it, fabric or substrate composition, pressing heat and times and any other notes on how it came out, and if my client and I are pleased with the results. I love having the ability to keep those notes other places but I'd like to get a better idea of how I created those projects. I turn 75 in 2 days and crafting, mainly sublimation, has become my favorite thing in life. I've decided out try a and follow your footsteps so I'm creating a crafting project page of my own. I'm a share by nature so if you don't mind if like to send it to you for review and for you to use if you find it helpful. I'm looking forward to your 3 day Camp and you and all your genius friends giving so much encouragement to the rest of us! Thanks again for all your ideas and all your work.
the spray for the t-shirt was very yellow. Im wondering though, how bright was the design on the 100% cotton shirt? Would it have been brighter on a polyester or blend?
Thanks for doing this video! I would love to know what happens when you wash that t-shirt. How much do the colors fade when washed and will the brown color leave?
You should run it through a wash to see what happens. I just found your channel and am subscribing today...I do hope you do the wash and give us a update. Thank you much for this video as I also was wondering about those sublimation products. So glad I found this and did not waste my money...
I would recommend that you use a sponge to very gently spread spay on your shirt and in the process of doing that it help to remove excess from your shirt. When brushing cups put your hand down in mug with your gloves on it makes it easier to move your cup around and not get your fingers away. Questions for you , did you use a paper protection for your heat wrap for cups to keep in from bleeding ink onto the wrap and did you try washing shirts to see what happens to them (like the yellowing disappears?)?Thanks for your video it was helpful and informative. I have tried the 2 tbsp of minwax water based polycrylic to 8oz of water in spray bottle. It didn’t yellow and I was able to sublimate to the cotton shirt. I also have washed the shirt (so far 3 times) and the sublimation is still there but I feel as if it has dulled a little.Again thanks for the video I really enjoyed it.
If I use a reusable wrap, I usually add some paper. I didn't try washing them as I don't think someone that was making shirts to sell would want to do that. I haven't tried any other solutions as I was pretty discouraged by these!
I’m glad you mentioned the polycrylic. I have a metal (2”X4”) piece I got from dollar tree. I have used mod podge to apply glow in the dark powder. Going to use the Varathane ultimate polyurethane to coat it and try to sublimate. Maybe it will work if yours did.
I saw the WRMK kit on HSN and when I asked about the transfer coating, I was told that it was only for use on cotton fabric, and not on hard surfaces like mugs. Do the written instructions say something different? I wasn’t convinced that the coating would be any good, but I ordered the kit anyway because I wanted to try the transfer pens and the price was right! Thank you for an excellent video!
@@AngieHolden Wow! That's not what they told me! I was told that the mug in the kit is already a sublimation blank, so there was no need to put any coating on it, and that the coating in the little bottle is only for cotton fabric items. I ordered 3 of the kits because they were on such a great sale, so I'll try pressing one of the mugs without adding any of the coating, and I'll let you know what happens. I hate it when there are conflicting instructions!!! I mainly ordered the kits for the transfer pens and because I wanted to try the coating stuff on a cotton tote to see if it would work. I was also curious about the silicone wraps. I already have a regular mug press, but if the wraps are easy to use, they would be more convenient than having to drag out the press every time I want to make a few mugs!
In regards to the T-shirt since it scorched the cotton, have you tried doing it on a lighter heat setting instead of what the recommended setting was? Was it still scorched if you did?
I am not sure if you can use on metal. Please make sure you watch the entire video as I didn't like any of these products. And I don't have a dog tag video.
Thank you so much . I want to craft so badly but I am stuck in the bed battling as hard as I can. I don’t know how to properly ask any one at all for any help. I thought it may b ok if I posted here for Admins or Owner I Hope to hear back from you soon if you don’t mind . Thanks in advance.
How do I know if a blank is for sublimation? I bought a tumbler at Michaels that looks like a sublimation but I don’t know if it is. Do you know how to identify a sublimation blank?
I messed up on a few stainless steel tumblers and when I removed the ink it removed all the white coating. Can I use these on stainless steel tumbler to subliminate after?
Hello I wanted to know if I can use sublimation paper with my hp jet 5505 printer and then use sublimation blanks I really don’t want to buy another printer but I would like to try this if you can help me do this on your video. thank you love your videos.
Your HP printer won't be compatible with sublimation ink. You will need either an actual sublimation printer or convert an Epson inkjet printer (don't use the inkjet inks that come with the printer). HP/Canon don't work with sublimation inks unfortunately.
Angie I am wanting to know if you can sublimate the bottom of a tumbler. I would like to put my logo on the bottom of my tumblers. Is there a way to do this?
@@AngieHolden that's really useful to know as I actually plan to use my cup soon it's been it's been in a top cupboard (I'm disabled 😀) It's funny cos it isn't clear in my sets instructions about the cup I Was going off the company's advertising so at Least I will know my issue as I'm trying out a new a all new set up. Thank you for not only taking the time to do this but also replying I really appreciate how hard and busy life is x

When you have scorching from the heat press, doing sublimation, you can lightly spray the scorched area with hydrogen peroxide and it should take the brown marks away.

I saw where someone showed you can spray peroxide over it and it will remove the yellowing. Haven't tried it.
I have had some people suggest that but it doesn't seem like the best solution to me.
Hi Angie. Thanks for the videos. What is the best sublimation printer in your opinion?
I have only used the one and it is one I converted. ua-cam.com/video/-f4oH2x-Nu0/v-deo.html
Would you mind doing something like this for clear glass? I'm most interested in wine bottles. I make wine at home and would love to just sublimate the labels so I don't have to replace the labels every time I reuse the bottle.

the spray for the t-shirt was very yellow. Im wondering though, how bright was the design on the 100% cotton shirt? Would it have been brighter on a polyester or blend?
Not sure. I wasn't happy with the results regardless.
Thanks for doing this video! I would love to know what happens when you wash that t-shirt. How much do the colors fade when washed and will the brown color leave?
I didn't test that as I wasn't happy with the outcome in this case. I am trying to test some more products to get some better options.
You should run it through a wash to see what happens. I just found your channel and am subscribing today...I do hope you do the wash and give us a update. Thank you much for this video as I also was wondering about those sublimation products. So glad I found this and did not waste my money...
I would recommend that you use a sponge to very gently spread spay on your shirt and in the process of doing that it help to remove excess from your shirt. When brushing cups put your hand down in mug with your gloves on it makes it easier to move your cup around and not get your fingers away. Questions for you , did you use a paper protection for your heat wrap for cups to keep in from bleeding ink onto the wrap and did you try washing shirts to see what happens to them (like the yellowing disappears?)?Thanks for your video it was helpful and informative. I have tried the 2 tbsp of minwax water based polycrylic to 8oz of water in spray bottle. It didn’t yellow and I was able to sublimate to the cotton shirt. I also have washed the shirt (so far 3 times) and the sublimation is still there but I feel as if it has dulled a little.Again thanks for the video I really enjoyed it.
If I use a reusable wrap, I usually add some paper. I didn't try washing them as I don't think someone that was making shirts to sell would want to do that. I haven't tried any other solutions as I was pretty discouraged by these!
I’m glad you mentioned the polycrylic. I have a metal (2”X4”) piece I got from dollar tree. I have used mod podge to apply glow in the dark powder. Going to use the Varathane ultimate polyurethane to coat it and try to sublimate. Maybe it will work if yours did.
Hi, i am just wondering can it be cured in a mug press instead of the oven? Or maybe used in the heat press after being cured in the over?
I don't think it could be cured in a mug press. I am hoping to test some more coatings soon.
parchment paper vs butcher paper for heat press shirts and mug press mugs? tia :)
I like butcher paper better. Parchment paper holds moisture in when you want something that allows it to go through.
Wondering if you've ever used Polygloss coating brand sublimation coating and if so how does it work compared to the brand you used in this video?
I have not. I do want to test some more brands, however.
I saw the WRMK kit on HSN and when I asked about the transfer coating, I was told that it was only for use on cotton fabric, and not on hard surfaces like mugs. Do the written instructions say something different?
I wasn’t convinced that the coating would be any good, but I ordered the kit anyway because I wanted to try the transfer pens and the price was right!
Thank you for an excellent video!
That is the kit I am using! It came with a mug to put the coating on and directions to do so?
@@AngieHolden Wow! That's not what they told me! I was told that the mug in the kit is already a sublimation blank, so there was no need to put any coating on it, and that the coating in the little bottle is only for cotton fabric items.
I ordered 3 of the kits because they were on such a great sale, so I'll try pressing one of the mugs without adding any of the coating, and I'll let you know what happens.
I hate it when there are conflicting instructions!!!
I mainly ordered the kits for the transfer pens and because I wanted to try the coating stuff on a cotton tote to see if it would work. I was also curious about the silicone wraps. I already have a regular mug press, but if the wraps are easy to use, they would be more convenient than having to drag out the press every time I want to make a few mugs!
I bought mine a LONG time ago. Wondering if they had failures and changed the kit. That makes me angry!
In regards to the T-shirt since it scorched the cotton, have you tried doing it on a lighter heat setting instead of what the recommended setting was? Was it still scorched if you did?
I haven't tried that.
Which chemical need mixed tell me please 🙏🙏🙏
Can you use the mug machine to let the liquid sublimate instead of a separate oven?
That is not what it says on the instructions.
Have you tried dyepress polygloss.? If u do would like to see a video.
I haven't....yet anyway!
Angie have you tried the Poly T Pro from dyepress on shirts?
The only ones I have really tried are in this video. I want to do more experiments but haven't yet!
Nice video. After putting a image or test on a mug, is it dishwasher safe.
I am not sure with these products as I haven't tested them.
can you use this coating on metal? And do you have a video from beginning to end making a bone dog tag?
I am not sure if you can use on metal. Please make sure you watch the entire video as I didn't like any of these products. And I don't have a dog tag video.
Great info
Glad you think so!
Thank you so much . I want to craft so badly but I am stuck in the bed battling as hard as I can.
I don’t know how to properly ask any one at all for any help. I thought it may b ok if I posted here for Admins or Owner I
Hope to hear back from you soon if you don’t mind . Thanks in advance.
I understand! Anything I can help with?
How do I know if a blank is for sublimation? I bought a tumbler at Michaels that looks like a sublimation but I don’t know if it is. Do you know how to identify a sublimation blank?
It will say right on the product if it is or not. Tumblers from Michaels will NOT be for sublimation.
I messed up on a few stainless steel tumblers and when I removed the ink it removed all the white coating. Can I use these on stainless steel tumbler to subliminate after?
You can definitely try it.
Did the yellowing on the shirt wash away?
The one you say 2 parts what I understand is one first and the 2th . Like wait few minutes in between. Anyways thank
Hello I wanted to know if I can use sublimation paper with my hp jet 5505 printer and then use sublimation blanks I really don’t want to buy another printer but I would like to try this if you can help me do this on your video. thank you love your videos.
You also have to have sublimation ink. Try this: ua-cam.com/video/LYj0vS9lOhs/v-deo.html
Your HP printer won't be compatible with sublimation ink. You will need either an actual sublimation printer or convert an Epson inkjet printer (don't use the inkjet inks that come with the printer). HP/Canon don't work with sublimation inks unfortunately.
Angie I am wanting to know if you can sublimate the bottom of a tumbler. I would like to put my logo on the bottom of my tumblers. Is there a way to do this?
I have seen people try and not have a ton of success.
WHY NOT TRY PUTTING YOUR LOGO ON WITH VINYL ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MUG.
Don't know if anyone mentioned bug here in the UK the wrmk is advertised more as a fabric coating.
Thanks for your kind time x
It came with a kit with a mug here.
@@AngieHolden the mug is already sublimation ready xx
The kit I had it was not. However, the kit in this video is older as it was purchased way before I filmed this video.
@@AngieHolden that's really useful to know as I actually plan to use my cup soon it's been it's been in a top cupboard (I'm disabled 😀)
It's funny cos it isn't clear in my sets instructions about the cup I Was going off the company's advertising so at Least I will know my issue as I'm trying out a new a all new set up.
Thank you for not only taking the time to do this but also replying I really appreciate how hard and busy life is x
what kind oven you use?? and they temperature?? thank you .good thing l Didnt wasted money on plain mugs
Time and temperature should be indicated on the packaging of the brand you purchase. You can use a regular oven or a counter top oven.
What do you use to clean your brushes after to prevent it from hardening
For things like this, I generally use a disposable brush.
