What an awesome job. I don't do any of that stuff but I was impressed. I just want to say to all those who will benefit from this that I hope you find it in your heart to send this guy a donation for all the hard work he does that you benefit from. Keep up the great work AT Prints.
Wowwww!!! 🔥 🔥 I love the finished product. This is very innovative and creative and I know people will indeed get a wealth of knowledge from this tutorial video.
Awesome! Just an Fyi, if you don't have Polygloss or don't want to wait for the drying process, you can always just heat press thermal laminate onto the wood then sublimate it. Looks great too!
That was an awesome video Allan, I didn't care how long it was because it was a very precise informative video and well worth the credit to you. I have one question though, as this was done on natural ply... do you have any tips on prepping MDF as i've tried it and the white still becomes yellow due to the manmade fibres in the board. cheers buddy and keep up the good work. Storm.
Thanks very much for your support, I appreciate it. In terms of reducing the yellow on the MDF, you will have to allow the Polygloss to dry on its own and then you can use the heat press to cure it. However, when curing it make sure you don't use too much pressure on the heat press. Make sure to use a silicone pad which will help. You can also press it in 10-second intervals and then lift up the press for 10 seconds and then back down for another 20 seconds. I hope this helps and let me know about the progress.
Yes, it can, however, if you are referring to stainless steel drinking items, it would be great to use spray paint. Kindly see the link with a video I created where i refurbished 20oz tumblers - th-cam.com/video/NlaVpag3qIA/w-d-xo.html
Hello Allan, thank you for this video tutorial. Have you tried heat pressing a laminating sheet on the paint and then sublimating the image ? I am about to try that based on another tutorial but would like to hear how you do it.
Thanks for your comment and question. So I honestly never tried the laminating process before. I've seen others use the process but I wonder how long the colors etc stand up. I am also wondering if it is wise to paint the wood and then laminate as you wouldn't want the heat to wake up the paint and allow it to come off. I believe it will come down to temperatures and timing. Did you get to try this process yet?
Allans right, you cannot paint then laminate as the laminate will not adhere to the wood through the paint, however if you have pre-laminated wood ( ie formica ) you can laminate then print on that but you can also risk discolouring the white to a tarnished yellow.
Would a foam brush help remove the brush marks seen in your camera close-ups? Also, what do you use for brush clean-up or do you dispose after one use?
Thanks for your questions. If you are referring to the white lines after the image was pressed, this is actually because the wood isn’t fully flat so because of this when it was finished sublimated it produced those white lines. However, with the clear coating that would clean it up. To clean up your brush you can use water as it was mostly a water base paint or thinners. I hope this helps.
Thanks for your question. Well my question to you would be is it turning brown when you print it or after you sublimate it onto the wood? If it turns brown after you sublimate it onto the wood it means that you burnt it. If you sublimate it for to long or the temperature is to high or even to much pressure when not needed you can end up burning the image.
Yes rock slate the ones people buy ready sublimation on im sure there's a way of doing it yourself instead of paying silly money for them just knowing what paint they use 🤔🤔
@@andreadewitt5653 thanks for your question. Once you use the brush and you gently pass the brush with the polygloss over the wood it will level out. Make sure you don’t rush the process.
Thanks so much for your comment, for watching and also for your question. I never tried colored paint but what I will say is that if you are looking to print an image onto the wood you would have to make sure that the colored paint is a light color so when you sublimate onto the wood you will be able to see the image. I hope this answer helps and feel free to ask more questions.
To ne honest what I think about this mug is that this is a sublimation blank mug. Exactly as the set I always bought for sublimation but i really hope this poly thing works that well.
Thanks for your thoughts. However, I’m not sure if you got mixed up with the videos as this video was how to sublimate on wood using polygloss and white paint and not mugs. I have another video showing the process for coating polygloss onto mugs and plates.
To be honest i never tried that before but its worth the try. PolyGloss can work on anything basically but just remember if you are looking to sublimate the paint has to be a light color.
Question for you. If I already have a piece of wood that is painted with plain white paint and I wish to sublimate onto it, would you advise to apply a second coat of paint mixed with polygloss or should I be able to apply the polygloss and catalyst mixture two times and allow it to cure then sublimate ?
Thanks for your question. In relation to your question, the latter part of the question is what I would advise which is mix the polygloss solution coat it, allow it to dry for 1-2 hours then apply a second coat and allow to dry for 1-2 hours and after you can sublimate onto the wood. I hope this helps. Happy sublimating 💪
Is there a way i could get this mixture in a spray gun should incase you have many substrates to coat. I have seen another guy spray painting on youtube so am wondering if its the same mixture he is spraying
@@javeediqbal190 The name of the chemical that is used is called dyepress polygloss and it comes with an added solution to it which is call dyepress catylist. CHeck out the website here to see it 👉bit.ly/3CYZqu1
Thanks for your question. You can try that method, however l, remember with the polygloss mixed into the paint it gives it a strong life. I mean I do believe the way you want to do it would work having a white board and just pasting the polygloss and sublimating should work. But if you want my advise I would say mix it in the paint so it can be a strong solution. I know the process is long but your looking for longevity. Hope this answer helps.

Would this process with the paint work with stainless steel as well?

Screen print on tiles send video
I am sorry but I don't have a video on screen printing.
Does this work for slate as well?
Thanks for your question. If you are referring to a rock slates, yes this process can work.
Hi Allan, do you know why my black shows up as brown? I cant seem to fix this issue
Thanks for your question.
Well my question to you would be is it turning brown when you print it or after you sublimate it onto the wood?
If it turns brown after you sublimate it onto the wood it means that you burnt it. If you sublimate it for to long or the temperature is to high or even to much pressure when not needed you can end up burning the image.
Have you tried this on normal slate 🤔🤔
Hi, Are you referring to rock slates?
Yes rock slate the ones people buy ready sublimation on im sure there's a way of doing it yourself instead of paying silly money for them just knowing what paint they use 🤔🤔
Iv set you a challenge to do it on rock slate please let me know if it works 💪
Challenge accepted. I just need to find some slates that aren't coated.
It does work iv done it lol
Is the poly gloss self leveling?
Hi can you give some more clarity?
Will it show brush strokes or will it level out to a flat surface?
@@andreadewitt5653 thanks for your question. Once you use the brush and you gently pass the brush with the polygloss over the wood it will level out. Make sure you don’t rush the process.
Like the accent!
Thanks very much.

does the first coat have to be mixed with pain, or can you paint then do 2 coats of polygloss?
