Hi! I want to ask how safe it is to use in home environment. If it is flammable how to use oven for backing and sublimation! Please give the safety usage tips while coating. Thanks
Hi... Yes you can use a glazed mug however hand spraying mugs can be difficult as you have to go up and down and spin the mug at the same time so it takes some practice Just FYI
There is no reason you couldn't make Stainless Steel Tumblers sublimatable. I will warn you that evenly spraying onto a cylinder can be tricky to get a perfect even coating similar to the ones you buy from commercially sprayed products.
Has anyone tried these products on metal tumblers vs a flat surface? I am trying to see if it is more cost effective than buying cups with sublimation coating already on them. If so, would I still print on sublimation paper then tape and shrink wrap as normal before placing in the oven?
I have a problem with the Sublination paper sticking to the mug after its been heating no matter what temperature I cook it at. Any idea what could be causing this?
Hi.. a few papers do have a coating on them that does not work well with sublimation coating. Two papers we have tested and work fine with Subli Glaze are: Texprint HD Jetstream F35
Sole Juice ty for the fast reply! Could I use the white based coating for glass instead of the translucent? Or should I spray paint it white and use the correct spray for glass. I’m trying to get my glass a solid white all the way around so I can wrap it with a picture. Also should I shrink wrap the wine glass before curation or should I just pop it in the oven without the shrink wrap?
@@bLACKQT20 HI.... Yes if you are looking to print on the outside you would use an opaque white not the translucent. Normally when doing this on flat objects you spray the white down first leave it a couple of minutes and then spray the clear on ( wet on wet ) before curing. To do this on a vertical mug or glass is going to be difficult but hey everything is worth a shot :-) If you have a white base coat already that can take the heat of sublimation you can try that method and cure the white first. Its a case of if the white can take the heat without going brown. I would cure the glass first before wrapping. Just FYI here I am advising from logic this is not something I have done before just FYI :-)
I think you mean using the 3D vacuum bags in an oven To be honest we have never tried any products using the bag system so cannot really indicate times. I also assume you are asking what time and temp should be to sublimate the image not to set the coating ? The times to set the coating should be the same not sure on times and temps for sublimating the product as I dont know what it is
@@superfastpod9320 I'm trying to sublimate onto glass and metal, but the items are not flat. Jars for instance. Yes, since you use an oven for setting the coating that step is the same. I also need to set the image in the oven because of the shape. I don't have vacuum bags. I tried using 350 degrees for 15 minutes and had decent results. I believe the flaw was due to me not getting an even coat of the Subliglaze.
@@SoleJuice Could you please explain the process of coating both sides? is it ok to coat one side with a white base coat and then clear sublimation coat and then bake in the oven and then repeat it for the other side?
Im assuming that one size of the aluminium already has white on it ? If so then I would coat the white side with the clear and then cure in the oven. Once cooled I would then apply the white opaque first and then spray the clear on top of that. You would spray the clear on top of the white whilst still wet you don't have to cure the white before applying the clear. When it comes to sublimating the actual piece itself I assume you would put the metal between both front and back transfer with a pad on the top and then press both sides at the same time. It would make sense that the metal is thin enough to carry the heat and sublimate evenly. Hope that helps
@@exxplorrer okay not much to change other than coat one side first cure then same process for the other. Note as I said above put white down first leave for a minute or 2 then clear on top "wet on wet" then cure repeat for other side. Let me know how you go uncharted waters here 😊
To be honest some metals work without it some don't there are so many to chose from its hard to give a definitive list. I would try without and if you are happy with results go from there if not try adhesion promoter. ALWAYS make sure the surface of the metal is free from any grease or oil and also make sure there is not already a coating on it I have seen people try to coat aluminium that already has a coating on it
If the surface of the product like slate is uneven its difficult to fill and voids if you email some pictures over to me paul@solejuice.com I will take a better look and advise
@@SoleJuice I'm trying this on slates later do you have to cure or can you just leave them settle overnight. I'll be using my heat press to cure if I have too. Any advice please?!
@@ollieprints Hi... No you need to cure ... The way to do slates just to make sure you are doing it correctly, is to spray the white down first then leave for a minute or so then spray the clear (blue can) on top whilst the white is still wet. You then cure both coatings at the same time. The simple way with the slates if you do not have an oven is to lay them on the heat press and swing the platen over the top about an inch or so away and cure that way. Hope that helps...
You can get the prices from here solejuice.com/collections/digi-coat Bear in mind if you are shipping overseas it is easier to find a local dealer close to you as flying the cans is expensive
It’s $45 a can in Canada. Not sure the price is worth the headache to be honest. Maybe it’s worth it if there were unique items you couldn’t buy from a supplier or on amazon etc. It’s way too expensive. I do hope the price lowers in the future. We’ll never have to buy from Alibaba again! 😝

Trying to make some tumblers. Polar blast stainless steel. Would this work to do sublimation on and if so what is the process??
Don’t have a oven. How can I use heat press?
Hi, Can I spray it over a ceramic glazed mug? Or the mug needs to be unglazed (bisque) ? Thanks
Hi... Yes you can use a glazed mug however hand spraying mugs can be difficult as you have to go up and down and spin the mug at the same time so it takes some practice Just FYI
What kind of transfer paper to use with
Hi sir. Can i use this 3d phone case. And I'm from India. How to purchase in our country.
Does this make a regular Stainless Steel Tumbler a Sublimation Tumbler?
There is no reason you couldn't make Stainless Steel Tumblers sublimatable. I will warn you that evenly spraying onto a cylinder can be tricky to get a perfect even coating similar to the ones you buy from commercially sprayed products.

Can it be sprayed on soft material such as leather ,canvas OR Cotton
Yes it can no problem it will be fine on leather
any update on the distributor?
Is there a specific oven that we need to use? Or can I use any type of oven?
No specific oven is required. As long as the piece is cured for the correct time and temperature.
USE THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN YOU CAN BUY THIS AT WALMAR, TARGET, SAM CLUB OR OTHER STORES.
I have a problem with the Sublination paper sticking to the mug after its been heating no matter what temperature I cook it at. Any idea what could be causing this?

Texprint HD Jetstream F35
Awesome I will try that brand. Thank you.
Is it just 1 or all to use on stainless steel?
Just the clear and the adhesion promoter
Is this safe to use on drink ware? Tumblers? Wine glasses?
Hi our coating is food safe however coating mugs by hand is very difficult as you have to spin the mug whilst going up and down by hand

HOW TO BUY
Do you know what time / temp I would use in an oven if I'm trying to sub on an object that is not flat; and cannot use a heat press to set the image?

Joe DeJong hey joe did you ever figure it out?
Hi. What would be your recommendation to coat aluminium on both sides for double sided sublimation?
You would use the adhesion promoter and the clear coating the one with the blue top
@@SoleJuice Could you please explain the process of coating both sides? is it ok to coat one side with a white base coat and then clear sublimation coat and then bake in the oven and then repeat it for the other side?

Thanks for the detailed reply. Both sides have no coating on the metal.

Do you need the adhesive for metal

Yes, this is the same product (rebranded) as Digicoat. Here is a video I made for that brand name ua-cam.com/video/F1Y9cZxTgLw/v-deo.html
