5 Ways to Sublimate on Wood
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2021
- We're merging our love of working with wood and sublimation in today's video by testing five different ways to sublimate on wood. We're narrowing the focus a bit further by trying to sublimate on painted wood. In this video, we try to sublimate on bare painted wood, sublimate on polycrylic, sublimate on Subli Glaze, sublimate on thermal laminate and as an added bonus, sublimate on holographic HTV.
We give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to prep wood for sublimation using all of those methods and then talk you through our sublimation on wood results.

If you want the laminate on wood to look matte, after you sublimate you can take a fine sanding block to it and sand the whole surface and it gets rid of the gloss and more or less makes it look like the print is just on the wood. :)
That's a super helpful idea. They do make a matte laminate but we couldn't get it at the time of the making. Thank you for watching and a useful tip!
I enjoyed watching you compare the many methods. I like your teaching style because you were able to cover so much in such a short period of time without eliminating important information. Thanks!
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
I’m wondering since this was 10 months ago. Have you gone back and looked at them to see if the image is just as clear and sharp as the day you pressed them. I am experiencing near total fade when using anything but laminate. And with the laminate I and getting a halo bleed around the text. The halo bleed doesn’t start appearing until about 3 weeks after press. Thanks, great video… I love straight to the point.

Thanks for watching and for the tip! 😄
Super helpful thanks for sharing I’ll definitely be trying at least one of these methods to make a sign for my pop up markets
Thank you for checking us out and leaving a great comment!
@@JustMightDIY I’ll tag you guys when I post my video. I’ll be trying white glitter vinyl 😬
First time here. You guys are super awesome and I enjoyed watching your experiments using different methods. It was exactly what I needed to watch. I have to add.. the dude sounds like (Kronk) from the cool movie (The Emperor's New Groove) which I like very much ;)
Than you again for sharing this.
Haha - we hadn’t noticed the similarity in voice. However, we’re SO glad you found us. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment! 😄
Very nice video. Great info and I love how you two get to the point and show us everything so quickly. I've heard there are Matte laminating sheets that work for sublimation but have never seen anyone use them. I would love for you to try that out if you can. Also there's a vinyl from Heat Transfer Warehouse called Thermo Flex Frost Clear Matte that works great for sublimating on. I have tried this one and I do like it. Thank you very much for everything and I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.
🎄🎅🦌☃️🎄🎅🦌☃️🎄🎅🦌☃️
Thanks so much for watching and for the tips! We’ll have to check out those materials for sure. 😄
Thanks!
And thank you too!
I definitely like the laminate one the best
We like that one too - thanks for watching!
Good tips!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
This was an awesome learning video; would you be willing to do a video on sublimating on a stainless-steel tumbler with the laminating sheets? I would love to see it done with these items. Thank you for showing the different ways to sublimate on wood, I will definitely be trying this.
Hey and thanks for watching! We can look into that. 😄
Hi! I really like your videos, you are a fun couple explaining =) , could you recommend a white paint for this process?, I was looking in your links description but I didn't find it, thanks!! I'm struggling doing this process with a thick wood, paint and poly....I'm not sure if is because my wood is super thick or my sublimation paper sticks so bad but , is not working for me yet, I want to try the small rounds you guys are using....
Hey! We just used one of those small white latex paint samples like Home Depot has at the paint counter. Make sure to let the paint fully cure (at least 24 hours) before moving on to the next step. Hope this helps!!
We stumbled across your page and appreciate the content you have shared. The comparisons are very helpful, Thank you! For wood applications, have you tried sublimation on clear or white Permanent Sign Vinyl?
Hey! Glad you like the video. We haven’t tried that on wood. Let us know if you give it a try.
Great video !!! I'd love to see glitter and glow siser htv on wood!
Thanks for watching and for the recommendation - we’ll add it to the list!
Great tests. Most sublimation I see puts the pattern on the entire surface. Is that a requirement? Would the pre be the same even if you only wanted some parts of the surface sublimated?
Hey! You don’t have to sublimate the entire surface, but you’ll likely want to heat your substrate evenly either way to avoid any uneven discoloration or warping.
This is the most useful video I've found for sublimating on wood. THANK YOU! Question, how many layers of paint did you use? I may hav missed that. Thanks again!
Hey! We’re SO glad you found this helpful! We did two layers of paint. 😉
Great comparison! We've tried the Polycrylic and laminate sheets and came to the same conclusion as you.
They do make the laminate sheets in a matte finish so we're gonna give that a shot next.
Thanks so much! We’re glad you liked it and came to the same conclusions. We’ll have to check out the matte laminate - thanks for the tip on that!
Very appreciated thanks ❤️🇮🇳🙏
We’re glad you like it! Thanks for watching. 😄
Thanks for your tips! How long do you let the paint dry before doing the next step?
Hey! We let it fully cure over a couple of days before moving on to the next step. Hope this helps!
AWSOME !!!!!! you guys save me $$$$ ( The stinky a$$ method) ha,ha,ha! it was fun watching this video I even went back just for the specific method to have another laugh .😃
Haha - thanks so much for sharing that! We’re glad we saved you $$ and made you laugh!! 😃
Thank you beautiful work ,Is that the only glaze you use?
Hello and thanks for watching. 😄 It’s the only one we’ve tried so far!
Will you ever make a video on sublimination on clear htv? I find there aren't enough videos that are clear enough for it! I would love to see it on wood rounds!
Hey! We can certainly try it out!
Can you please tell me where I can find this design? I absolutely love it!! Thank you
Hey again! It's on Design Bundles! designbundles.net/alajoki-artistry/1052234-family-wood-round-sign-floral-sublimation-template?ref=PiheTd (affiliate link) 😉
@@JustMightDIYI’ve been looking and I can’t find it on there anywhere, can you please help me find it??😊
hi, I used laminate which you said was fine but for me it detached from the wood...it didn't work well for me...I don't know why
This can be a moisture problem in the wood or incomplete adhesion of the laminate. We had success ironing the wood with the heat press then applying laminate
Can Poly-Crylic be used on the painted wood after sublimation to add a semi-gloss finish?
Sure!
Please can you tell me where you found that design!!!! I absolutely love it!!!!!❤️
Hey! It's on Design Bundles! designbundles.net/alajoki-artistry/1052234-family-wood-round-sign-floral-sublimation-template?ref=PiheTd (affiliate link) ;)
@@JustMightDIYthank you!!
The pouches really did outperform the others color wise. Not a fan of the super shiny look but it's REALLY good.
Agree! If only there was a matte laminate…
Thanks for watching!!
Well I use water base polyurethane over bare wood, polycrilic is a mixture of some acrylic with water base poly, what I use is infusible ink pens and so far it works.
Thanks for watching! Perhaps we’ll try the polyurethane next time. Happy crafting!
Thanks! Hey will the laminate sheet peel up at all? Or is it really stuck to the wood now?
Hey! Ours hasn’t peeled off yet and feels REALLY stuck to the wood. Hope this helps!
Nice
Thanks!
Can you cover the paint with the polycrylic
Yes!
So doy you think if I use the same submation transfer for dar fabric it wood work?
Hey there! We'd recommend a transfer that's designed for fabrics like Siser EasySubli. Here's a video of how that works: th-cam.com/video/eQjOeEWXxRw/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps!
cant wait to try this! random question.. how big is the mat that you're working on? i need to get one for myself
Thanks for watching. Let us know how it goes when you try it. :) T
he mat is 24x36 - we added a link to the one we bought in the description. Hope this helps!
@@JustMightDIY thank you!
Of course! 😄
What type of regular paint you use if was glossy flat semi gloss and what brand please and thank you
Hey - thanks for your question. It was just one of those sample latex paint containers from Home Depot.
Using the laminate pouch, can you paint the wood first? If so what paint would be best?
Yes - that’s exactly what we did. We used latex paint under ours.
Did you pre press the wood rounds before sublimation?
Hello! We show our full process for each process throughout the video.
Can an Easy Press be used instead of convection oven? If so, how?
We have not tried that. Nor will we. It stinks. It's sticky until finished. And convection ovens are relatively cheap. Would not want to ruin an easy press. Hope this helps.
Hi, may i know if i can laminate the wood first, then laser cut?
Hello! We have not tried that, so we can’t say for sure. You will need to be very, very sure to find a laminate that is laser safe if you try it. We have not looked for one yet, so again, we aren’t able to say for certain.
However, there are other materials that are both laser friendly and sublimation friendly like some cast acrylics and actual laserable sublimation hardboard. We’d recommend checking those out, too!
I love using the laminate but more often than not the edges will peel up and I can pull the laminate right off my wood. Any thoughts or suggestions to avoid this problem? Thank you!
We have a couple thoughts. Could be a moisture thing. Wood can have a good bit inside it and can stand to be pressed dry a few times to help push excess out. Be sure to flip and press it a couple times to keep balanced heating / drying. Also, it could be possible it's too smooth and dense, rough grit of 80 to 120 would give the wood ridges for the laminate to grab. As always. Make sure you have good supplies and know times and temperature considerations. Hope something here helps! Let us know
What is the purpose of the sublimation glaze if you will cover it with the laminate? Thanks in advance.
The subliglaze application and laminate application are two different methods of sublimation on wood. You would not really use both in the same go. Good luck and happy crafting!
We’re I can find subli glaze and temperature in oven please thank beautiful job
Hello! The Subliglaze should be baked at 325 for 20 minutes. You can buy Subliglaze at JPPlus - discount code in the description!
Do you need to paint the wood round 1st before doing the laminate?
Hey there! We painted the round to provide a good background for the image. There’s no white base in sublimation ink, so the color of the wood would show through some parts of the design. Hope this helps!
you could have your epson settings to default to mirror so you don't even have to worry about flipping the designs :) it was on the second screen in your print settings at the bottom.
Hey! Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. We’re aware of the option but like to see everything on screen exactly as it will print.😉
I'm new to your channel... and wondering if you've done any videos of sublimation on bare wood? I was about to test the polycrylic matte on bare wood as I'm looking for a more muted print that may even show some grains through the images. I remember sublimating on wood YEARS ago with no prep other than fine grit sanding, but now I can't remember how it turned out. The images would have a clear matte coat put on after to protect from fade, but just wasn't sure about prep. (Getting tired of cutting stencils and using wood stain for everything, especially fixing the bleeds after. )
We have done sublimation on bare wood and it does take, better on less dense wood. But I don't believe we published a video about it specifically but this video
th-cam.com/video/563TW5vcNLc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZYWhJT-lP29xAqUQ
Has an example of how it turned out
Starting around the 3 minute mark
@@JustMightDIY thank you for that! I don't know why I feel like a damn newbie again, but this was super helpful!
It's like riding a bike 😁 you'll have it in no time!
I pain mine with acrylic paint . I’m doing this right? If not , can I do another layer with regular pain? Thank you and is an amazing tutorial 👏🏼
Thanks! We’re so glad you like it. As long as you let it fully dry/cure, acrylic paint should work the same. Let us know how it turns out!
@@JustMightDIY I will, thank you and GOD BLESS YOU BOTH , TOGETHER are so amazing.
hello what settings is your et on I keep getting pink when printing
The colors of sublimation ink when freshly printed are dull and faded looking. When the heat is applied the true colors come out. If it's still bit quite right consider a color correction for your printer
I have trouble with my rounds warping. Any advice on this?
The warping could be a couple things such as layers and quality of the wood. We would try heating up the reverse for a few seconds before the actual press. After, consider immediately placing rounds between flat objects to press it flat while cooling.
Good luck and happy crafting!
question: how would I sublimated on a 4 inch cube? Could i use an iron?
You wouldn't get the same quality out of the iron. But cricut makes easy press, which works like the iron but gives a more consistent, reliable result. We feature one and link to it in this video!
th-cam.com/video/0u7MzHSZthk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching!
After seeing this video, I think the laminate option is the best.
But, going back to our experience with paint and polycrylic. We painted 1/2" plywood white, with flat latex paint (sprayed, not brushed). Then coated with Minwax Polycrylic. Pressed sublimation image at 385 degrees for 60 seconds on light pressure. The paper stuck as expected, but the paint bubbled quite badly, especially where heat transfer paper was not covering the board. Our piece was 12", so we had to piece our sublimation image onto our item, hence spaces that were blank without paper over it. We only had parchment paper at the time, not sure how much of a difference one or even two pieces of butcher paper would help with the paint handling the heat.
We now have the lamination pouches and butcher paper, but I'm worried we'll end up burning the paint still, hence, wasting more material and time. Have you seen the paint burn/bubble before? in any of these 5 ways of sublimating on wood?
Our first consideration is about dampness in the wood itself. 400 ish degrees is enough to vaporize water trapped under the latex. Even if you can't tell it's there, water expand 18k times it's volume from liquid to gas. Try heat pressing the wood and letting it cool before painting. Good luck and happy crafting!
Thanks for post I was wondering if I could spray not brush the white base.
I love creative fabrica not use to seeing others use it.
It's a great site if you buy a high volume of graphics - the unlimited downloads are great!
Could you use ploy acrylic spray instead of the liquid?
Hey! Thanks for your question. We haven’t tried but believe it should work the same.
I tried htv and thermal laminate. HTV bubbled and laminate didn't stick, the white paint came up with it??? What kind of paint did you use?
Hey! We used regular ole latex paint (like what you’d paint the walls with in your house. We had a white sample size laying around. Did you let your paint fully cure? We let ours dry and cure a couple of days before pressing.
I love the video. Thanks for the info. Does it have to be the latex paint or can you use acrylic paint?
Thank you! Polycrylic is an acrylic coating. It has an optional white instead clear like we used. We just didn't have the white. Of note is, we always have used water based . Hope this helps!
I was asking can I use acrylic paint to paint the wood then use the laminate sheet?
Hey! Gotcha - we haven't tried acrylic paint, so we can't say for sure. Let us know if you give it a try.
Also for the coatings, it was the subliglaze that comes in white, not the polycrylic. ;)
Ok. Thanks. And I will.
The acrylic paint worked just great. The color of my images are vibrant. How can I post a picture for you to see?
Do you prepress the wood to get rid of moisture?
In this video, no. This wood didn't need it but otherwise that's a good idea to prevent issues. Just know what you're working with.
hello, i tried this laminate method and loved the results....however, the sign i had made was on my sink and when it became wet, the laminate started coming off....is there a way to make these water resistant? Please help!
Hey! That’s a great question. What kind of wood blank were you using? The thinner the wood, the more apt it will be to warp, which could contribute to the delaminating. If we wanted to put a sublimated sign where it would get wet, we’d probably find a different blank to start with - perhaps metal or acrylic...
You need to seal anything that's going to see moisture
How do you get it so the laminate doesn't bubble?
Hey! Our laminate didn’t bubble. However, that could be an issue of moisture in the wood.
hey! do I have to use Latex paint?
Hey! That’s just what we tried. You can try other kinds of paint - we’d just encourage you to be sure it fully cures before attempting the sublimation. Happy crafting!
What mil thickness are the laminating pouches and does the mil thickness really matter?
The package doesn't mention its mil but the link to the product is in the description. The only thing that affects is how much heat vs time you need to use but the sublimation effect should remain great!
@Just Might DIY thank you. I'll check the description for the link. And yes I figured it may change the temp/time settings. Appreciate the response
It's good, wanted to answer sooner but work was brutal! Thanks for watching and asking!
If i laminate both sides do u think it would hold up outside
Hello! Wood that is this thin is not going to hold up well outside, no matter what you do with it. Wood is just really susceptible to temperature and humidity and will react overtime.
@@JustMightDIY I have thick wood i wanted to make a sign for outside. Thank you
How long do i need to let the paint dry? thanks
Hey! That’s going to depend on the type of paint as well as your climate (humidity and temperature). We recommend looking on the label for your specific paint. We tend to err on the side of caution and give most paints 24 hours to dry. Hope this help!
Can i use kraft paper instead of butcher paper?
Hey! The paper just needs to be uncoated (no wax or anything). We’ve used plain copy paper for smaller projects. Hope this helps!
So, on every method you used scotch pouches ?
Hello and thanks for your question. No - we only used the pouch the one time. Hope this helps!
Could you use acrylic paint also?
Hey! We haven’t tried that, but acrylic paint should work. 😄
What kind of printer y’all use
We used 3 printers. Like most of our equipments, they are listed and linked in the description. Thanks for watching!
you guys are soo cool n nice. how r u survive in this world as we have today ?
You are so sweet! We just try to focus on the good and lean into love. ❤️
I am trying to find the polycrylic mini wax water based but the one I see is satin finished would that work to
Hello! As long as it is water based polycrilic, you should be good. Happy crafting!
@@JustMightDIY may I ask one more question I used mod lodge on it before if I used the sealer on it will the sublimation work
Hey! We haven’t tried that, so we can’t say for sure. Theoretically, however, as long as you do a good seal coat with thr poly, it should. Let us know how it goes if you try it!
@@JustMightDIY that did not work I may have used the wrong white paint does the white paint need to be heat resistant on the wood I am going to try the other side with no white paint no mod podge just the mini wax sealer water based
Hey! We used regular white latex paint. The biggest thing is to let anything cure for at least 24 hours before you try to press it.
So this is not using heat transfer paper but sublimation paper?
Correct - these are all sublimation methods on wood. Thanks for watching!
Where are the links to the sublimation blanks that worked! I don't want to waste my money on those that are already known not to work. Thanks for the great video!
The blanks / wood rounds we used are in the description. Thank you for watching!
You didn't mention Poly natural from dyepress. It's far better than anything you mentioned in your video.
Good to know! We’ll check that out for the next round of wood sublimation. Thanks for watching and for the tip. 😄
may i use it on cotton fabric?
Hey! What are you trying to use on cotton fabric?
@@JustMightDIY polycrylic maybe If I add water could make it suitable for cotton fabric
It’s not made for fabrics, so we personally wouldn’t want that on fabric near our skin or in the washing machine. There are sublimation sprays made for fabric that you can research. We haven’t tried those but know that they exist.
No shine with mattie lamiate
Very true! We’ll try that out sometime. Thanks for watching!
Has anyone put these outside to weather test??
Hey and thanks for your question! We haven’t put them outside, as the particular wood we used is pretty thin and likely wouldn’t fair well in the elements.
