I have used the hard surface paper on porcelean and while it works..it will scratch off and the process is not nearly as fast or simple. :) I would only recommend that technique if you are using a black or other color mug (and one that can't be sublimated) www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/09/how-to-use-icolor-hard-surface-paper.html
@@SilhouetteSchool We used to do laser transfers in the 90s. There was the initial transfer press (I.e. with the mug press), then there was a “curing unit” that the mug was placed over (sorta like a intense halogen but that heated the mug from the inside for a couple minutes) to really set it. I still have a couple mugs twenty years old that are pristine. Yes, if you used a hard instrument like a sharp knife,you could scrape the design, but you could do that to sublimation mugs too as you’d be removing the coating where the transfer exists. Of course back then, a single sheet of sublimation paper cost just shy of ten dollars. How things change
I want to try sublimation on tumblers, but for my first tumblers, I don’t want to spend too much. Any tips on where to get cheap sublimation tumblers to practice on?
The shot glass attachment says it's designed for the 20/30 oz tumbler press and not compatible with other heat presses. You mentioned it can be used with the 8 in 1 press. Just want to clarify it will work with my swing design 8 in 1 heat press before I purchase it.
Is there anyway you can post a video using the 8 in 1. I tried using the attachment on there and I can’t get the shot glass to stay in place. As it heats up it slips out and doesn’t end up heating my design evenly. I was trying to use my hard surface paper that I printed in with my Uninet printer to create shot glasses and can’t figure out why this happening. Thanks
I have yes. And I thought I finally had it at the right pressure and it stayed in place for about 30 seconds maybe alittle longer and slowly inched it’s way out. I ended up having to use water slide instead because I just can’t seem to get to be in the position it needs to
Wow, that is a great example of how shot glasses work for sublimation!
This is only for tapered shot glasses, what about the straight ones?
You might also want to try the icolor hard surface paper for those… just as a comparison

You'l love it

Cricut has one

Yes I have tested it and it will work with the 8 in 1

Have you increased the pressure by turning the pressure knob?
I have yes. And I thought I finally had it at the right pressure and it stayed in place for about 30 seconds maybe alittle longer and slowly inched it’s way out. I ended up having to use water slide instead because I just can’t seem to get to be in the position it needs to
This attachment is only for the swing heat press? Can I use it with a tumbler heat press for 20 and 30oz?
Hey there! Check out this blog post: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2023/02/how-to-sublimate-on-shot-glasses-using.html
Have you had a chance to try it on the 8-1 press?
Yes, it works fine
Thank you 😊
Where can I find that whire board you have on the wall. Thank you
HI Deloris - I just added them to the Office/Craft Room Amazon List so you can find them. a.co/bPIH3W4 - The peg board pieces come in packs of 4.
@@SilhouetteSchool thank you
Do you think this will work for a round cylinder shaped perfume bottle?
I'm not sure, but worth a try!
Just checked the press, it says it does include the shot glass attachment.
How do I keep my shot glass from sliding out while being pressed? I have tried all different ways and they keep sliding
Kind of hold it in place from the bottom while you close the press
That turned out really cut
Yes love it!! One of the girls on my team suggested it would make a really cute succulent pot!
