This was so awesome! Thank you for showing us the how to. Three questions: 1. Have you ever tried the iron on sheet paper? 2. With your method, how long does the end product last? Could you do a spray over it to hold the image in the wood longer and maintain its quality? Thanks for the video!
The Reddit video you made of the layered TV bench was crazy. Drove me to come check out what else your up to. This was equally as awesome and much more simple. Thanks for putting this out there for us beginners.
The Instant The Video Started and I saw The T-Shirt I automatically gave you a THUMBS UP!!! I felt compelled! Of the +1,400 thumbs up, one is mine, (from the first second) 😎😁
@@ChrisPowellFSD you’re definitely not alone on this, I’d reckon that somewhere near 75% of “crafters” refer to it as Modge Podge. Anyway, thank you for a really concise demonstration of this technique! I’ve been faffing around trying to use a different technique for transferring a quote onto a decorative box, using liquid matte medium, regular printer paper and rubbing.

Thanks again!
@@janedarc7731 I called it modge podge for a few weeks too when I was getting into trying to do transfers. funny because I'm somewhat of a stickler for pronunciation and using the correct word etc. It was funny when I realized I was saying it wrong after going to get some and reading the label. lol. Now its like nails on a chalkboard to me 😃 Great video! How a portable printer does not exist is beyond me. By that I mean something the size of a large lunchbox that you can place on any surface and print. Hell, the print head already moves side to side! now we just need y axis movement like on a laser engraver/cnc and we don't need to mess with this crappola that works fairly well pretty often and move to 99% perfect. And I just need lettering done. And the crazy thing is that you can get a laser engraver about the size I referenced for $100!! wth!
Thanks! If you get to it quick enough, you can use a wet paper towel or something like a plastic scraper. Once it’s dry, you can sand it. The area where your actual image is should only have a thin layer left after squeegeeing the excess out, so you shouldn’t have to worry about that.
I usually use mine within the first day, because I make them for specific projects, but I don’t think it would hurt anything if they sat around for a while.
@@ChrisPowellFSD Thank you for the quick reply. I don’t have a laser jet printer at home but I do at work. So my plan is the printer work and bring it home. I wouldn’t be able to get to it for at least two or three hours.
I printed the image on the shiny side of a Avery Label paper today at work. It was about 4 hours before I could find time to apply the LiquidTex Med. Gel to my piece of maple wood. It's drying now. Hopefully I can be patient and wait until tomorrow night to peel off the Lebel paper.
Hi, I know you said Abu laser jet works but I had a Xerox and yes it’s prints on the label paper but on exiting the machine, the rollers scratch off the toner in lines. Can I ask what laser printer you use please?
Hi. When I print on this sheet, the image tears up or the toner doesn’t print on some parts. Are there any particular settings one has to do on the computer before printing. ? or any printer in particular ?
Chris Powell thankyou so much. i managed to print it but yes bits are tearing off. so i’ll apply a thinner layer. i’m used mod podge. is that good enough ? and i let it dry for an hour that’s all.
Thank you so much! A beginner for emblems, photos from were I was born. The hard part like my jewelry how do you know how to price them if selling them? blessings
That’s something we all struggle with. Usually for items with a large material cost, people do around 3x materials and add in a percentage for their time. Sometimes I just have to ask myself what I would pay for something, then add in a little extra. If it doesn’t sell at that price, I lower it until I find what people are comfortable with paying, and I’m comfortable with selling at.
@@ChrisPowellFSD Thank you so much for info! I look forward to watching more of you videos and God willing the time to learn and get a house to do it all! Right now research to do small projects with paper with Mod podge. Be safe blessings
I printed a drawing onto the same labels using Laserjet and the image didn't print very good,not crisp and some missing areas, paper did perfect. Any idea why?
Hey Chris. Results are in. When trying this on stained, especially a darker stain, such as Cognac, it really darkens the appearance of the transfer. My recommendation is to only transfer very light images as they would contrast better.
Same issue with my Brother printer. I did find printing from my iPad worked better than my PC, but still not really usable. Did you come up with anything that worked?
@mr.snowcone6067 hey, I just watched this video. There's a spray that artists use after they've done a charcoal drawing. I wonder if that could work for you. When I get started on my wood image items, I'll try it for myself to see. Hopefully I'll remember to come back here and let you know!
My laser printer won't print on that material, it just comes out a couple of smudges no pics. Is there any other settings you have to change on your printer??
You can, but just keep in mind that anything white is actually clear. Lighter colors are also a little transparent, so it could change the color slightly depending on what the base color is.
Haha. I like how when he was explaining the reasons for the problems, it was "we" not him. Maybe he has a mouse in his pocket. Good tips though. Cheers
Joy was working behind the scenes. That’s my catahoula. She usually only makes an appearance when there’s something that needs to be taste tested or something new to sleep on.
I went to staples today to have them print my logos on this same paper and they told me the printer would get hot and melt the paper because of the wax. They wouldn't even try at least.
I never thought about trying that. Mine had printers that you can just walk up to and use, but I think the paper is already loaded. Might just be best to buy your own printer.
I want to try this but color laser printers cost between $500-700 and print shops will not take the risk of using this paper in their printers...I've asked :/
You and my son always say "Modge Podge." It's Mod Podge! LOL. Great video

this is the best results I have seen so far - thanks. may have to go with the Polycrylic as never heard of Hodge Boge in Europe. lol
I said it wrong in the video. It’s Mod Podge. Might be in the craft section of stores. It just seems like white glue to me.
Thank you very much sir. Keeping it simple!
That's awesome I'm doin a memorial. Of my cousin I'm definitely trying this now thank u
Good luck.

Thanks
Thank you for sharing 😊 Is really a lot of videoes how to do it using laser printer, but almost nothing about ink printer.
hi chris was wonder what paper setting to have my printer set to for this thank you
Super Wonderful thank you so much 🤗
Thank you
Hmmm, I've tried many ways to do this...except this way, Cheers!!
“Mod” Podge, good video all the same. You can also try freezer paper it works good for transferring images.
If you like that, you would have loved the way I said squeegee the first couple times.

Awesome shirt bro :)
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.
That transfer turn out great what kind of printer did you use todo that lazer or inkjet
Thanks. It’s a laser jet.
How do you get rid of all that excess modge podge?
Are you using an 18v heat gun? Looks like a Robi. Is it?
Yes it is
Where did you get that color laser jet printer for $150? I know you can get ink jet printers for that price but not laser jet printers.
THis is a great system but does it work if the wood has been stained and/or chalk painted? Thanks
Yea that shouldn’t change anything. Just keep in mind that if it’s dark paint or stain, your design might not show up as well.
@@ChrisPowellFSD thanks so much
Thank you so much 🙏🌹
Have you ever used the waxy side of freezer paper?
I haven’t
nice video.
Can you use the same paper more than one time?
I’ve never tried that. It might work. It’s still waxy.
@@ChrisPowellFSD THANKS YOU
Way to keep it dummy proof love your videos brother! How do you remove the excess midpodge
Thanks! If you get to it quick enough, you can use a wet paper towel or something like a plastic scraper. Once it’s dry, you can sand it. The area where your actual image is should only have a thin layer left after squeegeeing the excess out, so you shouldn’t have to worry about that.
would it be fine if you let it sit like that overnight to dry completely?
I haven’t tried that. The paper shouldn’t stick permanently because of the wax, but it might be best to try a small sample first.
Will this work with an ink printer, too?
After printing the image on the label paper how long can I wait until have apply it?
I usually use mine within the first day, because I make them for specific projects, but I don’t think it would hurt anything if they sat around for a while.

@@ChrisPowellFSD I waited about 6 hours before I transferred the image, using the label paper method without a problem.
Can you re-use the label backing sheet to do another?
I haven’t tried that, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Maybe the wax eventually wears off or it gets too much Mod Podge on it. It’s worth a try.
Hi, I know you said Abu laser jet works but I had a Xerox and yes it’s prints on the label paper but on exiting the machine, the rollers scratch off the toner in lines. Can I ask what laser printer you use please?
Sorry that’s supposed to say you say any laser jet works but my printers rollers scratch off the toner on the papers way out after the Fuser unit.
I’m using an HP 178nw.
hi, is it possible to use a hair blower instead?
Yea that should work fine.
Hi. When I print on this sheet, the image tears up or the toner doesn’t print on some parts. Are there any particular settings one has to do on the computer before printing. ? or any printer in particular ?
I just use the base settings. Make sure you keep the mod podge pretty thin. I noticed I would loose parts of the image if it was too thick.
Chris Powell thankyou so much. i managed to print it but yes bits are tearing off. so i’ll apply a thinner layer. i’m used mod podge. is that good enough ? and i let it dry for an hour that’s all.
Yea that should be good. If you still have problems try giving it another hour to dry.
WOuld this transfer system work over a stained or painted surface?? ie. on a stained flag.
I haven’t tried it, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t.

I printed a drawing onto the same labels using Laserjet and the image didn't print very good,not crisp and some missing areas, paper did perfect. Any idea why?
Maybe try a different brand of paper. I haven’t had that issue before.
So, could you use labels like the ones at the post office?
Have you done this on stained wood or do you need unstained wood for this to work?
I haven’t tried that, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just need to make sure it’s completely cured.
@@ChrisPowellFSD I will let you know how it turns out.

@@chaosorder1208 thanks for letting me know.
Or make sure the wood is stained in a light tone or, white
Hi Chris; Have you tried to transfer onto "other than wood" ? i.e. pvc, ceramic, glass, plastic, hdpe ??? Well done as always shipmate!
This should work on anything that the mod podge or whatever transfer medium you use sticks to.
Do you really have to use laser printing? Or ink jet work?
Yea you have to use laser for this method. There’s special paper you can get, which I believe works for ink jets, but it’s pretty expensive.
I have a laser printer but it will not print well on the glossy paper as you mentioned. The toner does not stick well. Is there a special setting?
I didn’t change any settings at all. Let me look into it a little. What printer do you have?
Same issue with my Brother printer. I did find printing from my iPad worked better than my PC, but still not really usable. Did you come up with anything that worked?
I am having the same issue
Hey buddy did you ever fix this issue I have the same problem
Do you need to use the heat gun, or could you just leave it longer to dry naturally?
I set mine in the sun on my picnic table for about 2 hours and they come out great.
Do you spray any finish on top?
Yea I just use the cheap spray can Rustoleum Clear Gloss Lacquer
firsst time i see this vid. i just stick on t-shirt kjwkw
Like this material :)
Hi Chris, I have a question. How to make the imprinted image last for long time?
Sealing it should prevent it from being scratched off.
@@ChrisPowellFSD What product would best seal it?

@@MatthewDavenport-ti3se very cool info MD!! would love to know what that spray is. prolly some polyurethane I would imagine.
can that be done with the mug bottom ?
It should probably stick, but I’m not sure if the heat would effect it. What would you seal over it with?
Will it work on wood that's stained?
Yea it should work on anything. If it’s too dark it might show through though. Just keep that in mind.
@@ChrisPowellFSD Thanks for your speedy response...
What exactly you are using I used mod podge and polycric gell when we remove paper the picture in wood is turning white with both why
Maybe you’re applying too much. It only needs a thin coat.
@@ChrisPowellFSD not rally
Don't know how to send you wood picture so u can guide trying
Email me a picture of what’s going on and I’ll see if I can figure something out. Chris@fullsteamdesigns.com
My laser printer won't print on that material, it just comes out a couple of smudges no pics. Is there any other settings you have to change on your printer??
No I didn’t change anything else. Maybe try a different paper.
Why did my laser printer smudge the print? Is there a special setting I should be using? Thanks
I don’t use any special settings with mine. Maybe try a different sticker.
can you use water-based varnish instead of mogpod?
It’s possible.
Can you use this on a painted surface?
You can, but just keep in mind that anything white is actually clear. Lighter colors are also a little transparent, so it could change the color slightly depending on what the base color is.

Joy was working behind the scenes. That’s my catahoula. She usually only makes an appearance when there’s something that needs to be taste tested or something new to sleep on.
If you have no use for the labels you could probably do the same technique with parchment paper.
This just seems to give you a better quality image, and it goes through the printer better.
So she made you wear that hunh….clever girl
