    I’ve done this method many times as well. To ensure complete contact, I use a plastic puddy knife or an old gift card to smooth it out. The main objective is to be sure that there are no bubbles. Working from the middle out towards the edges works well. For added security, I place a heavy book on top while it dries. May I also suggest using Liquitex Gel Medium (can be found at most craft stores in the paint section). I have found it works much better than ModPodge. Great video! I really enjoyed it.

      Thank you so very much. In time, it appeared more out of focus and unless you stare straight at it, it appears blurry so I disassembled it. However, a viewer suggested placing the layers of glass closer to one another and I did a quick test and It does make a difference. In addition, in an updated video we did, we learned of other products to use (instead of Mod Podge) and the image that transferred looks even better. I need to use Liquitex gel and closer layered glass and I believe it will look even better! sincerely appreciate your taking the time to watch our video and for your kind words.

    The metal might be better if it was cleaned first by a light sanding, then using a solvent as it often has grease and other contaminates. Also the sanding will open up the surface to allow for better adhesion. I have the mod podge, but have not tryed this yet, I think I will try using it on plexiglass with a white backing to see how it comes out.

      Yes, wet sanding with 400 grit sandpaper and using a degreaser will improve your metal adhesiveness. Good pressure and some form of roller or squeegee will insure no air pockets or voids in your transfer.

This side of the paper is very slippery and is why labels can be peeled off. Toner does dont permanently stick to the paper so it transfers onto glue. I hope this helps and makes sense.

    Can this method be used for slate coasters?

    • @Poor_Mans_DIY
      @Poor_Mans_DIY  2 роки тому

      Fantastic question! I have not actually tried it but in theory, I believe it is "possible" but I worry about the results. All we actually did was to lay laser toner on a slippery paper, then added a glue on the paper. This captures the toner and when the glue dries, the toner is stuck in the glue. So there should be no reason it would not work on slate. There are problems though. You really need to rub hard so the paper, toner and glue stick to the surface for drying. Slate is naturally porous and I worry you may not get a tight bond all over. In addition, when the glue dries on the slate, I dont know if it will look nice or not. Another big concern I would have is that slate is usually dark, which may may a picture difficult to be seen. I hope this helps but if you have any other questions, let us know and we will try hard to provide a valid resolution.

    One suggestion I have, not that I have ever done this, is to put a weight on top of the paper after using the roller and leaving the weight on over night as well.

BTW, I tried a weight a little bit but I was concerned that the paper would stick and not just the printer toner. I watched several videos and they spend lots of time wetting the paper and gently rubbing off tiny layers over and over until the paper is all gone. Looks like a nightmare so we cheated and tried the easy way out. Please dont tell anyone. LOL

    Looks interesting -- and the imperfections definitely make it more authentic. I did this for my wife last year using a wooden coaster set (made for crafting) I picked up from my local hardware store. It was a very rough rounded shape, and I used an inkjet with plain white uncoated paper (following a similar method with Mod Podge that I found on another channel) -- and I snapped a pic of the coaster and used that in Photoshop to get the selected image edges (of our rescue dog) to match the odd shape, then it was pretty easy to print and cut out and apply. Definitely something I want to try more of, even without a laser printer at the moment or the label backing paper.

      we use labels and remove the labels and use the slick backing of the label to print on. It is slick and the toner doesnt stick to it so it sticks to the glue and pulls off the label paper.

    Does it have to be laser printed? Will inkjet do? Thanks

    • @Poor_Mans_DIY
      @Poor_Mans_DIY  2 роки тому

      I have not tried it with inkjet. The process we used relies on laying laser toner onto a very slippery paper. In essence, the toner isn't embedded onto the paper. The glue sticks to the toner power and the wood and the slippery paper separates from it. I worried that ink from inket printing would smear on the slippery paper and i wasn't sure if the ink would bond with the glue. That being said, i believe there are UA-camrs that use inket and regular paper to transfer images but i haven't tried the method. We would love to hear results if you try.

    • @Poor_Mans_DIY
      @Poor_Mans_DIY  3 роки тому

      I have to admit, we did not try the ink jet so I did a little research to provide you with a proper response. I came across a video that compares laser jet and ink jet on photo transfers which you can check out at ua-cam.com/video/psvAy52rnLY/v-deo.html. From what I can tell, the ink jet results are not as crisp as laser jet, HOWEVER, I believe that if you are going for a rustic look, in which the image is not perfect and appears faded with age, then the ink jet actually did that and I think it looks good on wood. I might have to test it out! :-)

      @Poor_Mans_DIY  2 роки тому

      I have seen people use pictures on regular paper. They soak the paper when the process is over and gently rub over and over until the paper is gone and the image is left. It looks like it takes a long time but does work. We did a follow up video based on viewer suggestions. We tried a product called liquitex and it worked many times better that mod podge. You might want to give it a try.

    Hello sir, what kind of paper you use in wood transfer?

    • @Poor_Mans_DIY
      @Poor_Mans_DIY  2 роки тому +1

      Greetings. Instead of regular paper, we bought full size sheets of labels, then we peeled off the label side and threw it away and used the back part of label. It is very slippery and the toner from the printer does not soak into the paper so you can transfer easier. We made a newer video based on suggestions our viewers made. The pictures turned out even better . If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. By the way, in the description of the video, we have links to the products so you can take a look at exactly what we used. Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment.

    • @Poor_Mans_DIY

      Although we did not try this on plastic, we dont see any reason why it would not work. Simply put, the process captures toner in glue and then dries out on the surface. Your idea of using the silver transparent sheet really sounds like a fun challenge. It would be so cool if it works as you describe!

      Mr Dan, I am sorry but I cannot speak for Staples. Personally, I think it is worth asking. It will not cause any damage to their printers, They would simply be printing on a slippery paper. If they agree to it, be very careful handling the pages. The toner will probably smear easily if you stack pictures or handle them roughly. Might want to try one page and lay it on the back seat of your vehicle. We would love to hear how things work out for you. Best of luck and Merry Christmas

    Hi Jennifer and Richard, and thank you for the time you take to produce such informative videos. Perhaps you can help me with a problem I have. I've purchased the paper from Amazon, as per your link, but when I print something on a laser printer, some of the toner seems to be rubbing off the rollers when the paper comes out of the printer. What do you suggest I do? The print is fine on normal printer paper though.

    • @Poor_Mans_DIY
      @Poor_Mans_DIY  2 роки тому +1

      Mr James, This was our first ever attempts at photo transferring, so we are no where near experts on the process but, I happen to be in IT and often have to repair printers. If your printer is older, it likely requires the rollers to be replaced. My guess is that the rollers have build up , which causes the toner to smear and need to be replaced. It may sound complex but they are made to be easily replaced. The manufacturer usually sells replacement rollers with instructions on replacing them. The cost is usually not bad at all. one option you might try is to remove rollers and use isopropyl alcohol to clean the rollers. This is only a temporary fix as they will need to be replaced as some point. Although it might not work as well, I have seen others print on regular paper but it requires wetting the paper after the glue dries and rubbing the paper off little at a time. This seems time consuming but the glue and toner stay on the wood and the paper dissolves away. We usually dont try to get people to watch our other videos. If they like our videos, they will watch without pressure from us. In this case, I recommend you check out our second video on this. We used viewer suggestions and used a different product called Liquitex gel that worked so much better than mod podge. Sorry for the long message. In conclusion, we sincerely thank you for taking the time to watch our video and for your wonderful question. If you wish to ask more questions, please do not hesitate.

      I have both a laser and inkjet printer but I only attempted to use the laser because of its use of toner, which is powder.

    You didn't mention how long you let your images set/dry before you peeled. You mentioned that OTHER people said to let it sit 45 minutes or so...but you didn't mention how long YALL let it sit????
    I'm noticing a trend now after watching all these videos and that is a SMOOTH surface. All the videos say to use a smooth surface, but smooth to me and smooth to you are two different things.
    So, how smooth should it be? Well, seeing as how your transfer onto glass seemed to work without a hitch, I guess the NEW definition should be "smooth as glass".

      Let me begin by thanking you for watching our video and for your insightful questions. Before I provide any info, I recommend you check our second video on this. We had many comments from viewers with great suggestions and we applied their suggestions and got much better results. The most important thing was to use something called Liquitex Gel, which worked significantly better. Now to answer your questions. We did tests and allowed the Mod Podge dry for 2 hours to be safe but found even for that long, if did not fully dry. We then just let it dry over night and that is what we continue to do. As for what is SMOOTH, you have an absolutely valid question as each person will define it differently. Think of what this process is doing, it is using a glue to grab hold of laser toner and drying it to a strong solid state and then removing the paper background. In order to SMUSH (Technical term) the toner into the glue as deep as possible the surface needs to make contact with the laser toner so the fewer bumps the better to SMUSH the paper onto the wood. I hope this makes sense but if you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask and I will do my best to provide a proper resolution.

    PVA glue works best used it for over 30 years transfering images to wood.

      That makes complete sense. Mod podge seems to be the same but more expensive. Thank you for the great tip.

    Please change the name, "Poor Man's DIY". Name it like Enriching DIY. Skills make you a rich person. Putting poor in the label gives a sense of begging person doing DIY. You are doing a great favour to your viewers - a noble work, off course. God bless you both. Keep up the great work. Thank you for this video.

      We really do appreciate your ultimate intent and kind words. Fear not though, We do not correlate being poor with begging, and there are other ways of using the term "Poor". For example: if a young man lost his toy car, we might say "Poor little boy, lost his toy". It does not mean he is begging for anything. It is just a word of compassion. In our case, our channel was developed to show people that they do not have to be wealthy to make or repair things, (they also do not need to beg), people can do things for themselves if they just try. Poor Man is just an expression. :-)

    I really want to know if it can be done 5+ minutes with assistance from a heat gun? Every video leaves it dry for hours to overnight...no go.

      Mr Aaron, I was thinking something similar but chose not to try. I worried the excessive heat may affect the bonding qualities of the glue. If you happen to try a heat gun, we would love to hear how it works out. Also, we made an update video of photo transfers and we tried a product called Liquitex Acrylic Gel. It worked better than Mod Podge so you might want to consider that as an option. Thank you for watching our video on for leaving such a good question for us.

      @@Poor_Mans_DIY yes I've seen liquidtex transfers used on painted surfaces in 5 minutes, with heat gun, wetting & a towel...but its some type of treated standard paper....
      I will be trying liquidtex with mailing label release paper & heat...hoping it works, maybe no need for water. Laser printer.
