Thanks for showing how to sublimate on the cutting boards. I have several and the 651 vinyl just need to get the courage to try. I also love design bundle.

Thank you! I got it off of Design Bundles. I noticed that they have a set of Gnomes in their $1 deal today:)

Instead of removing all the paper on the back, I have used self sticking cork. It covers all that up and looks finished.

That's a great way to handle it! I recently bought some of that cork in the The Dollar Tree Store. It was the first time I had seen it there. Since this video, I bought some TexPrint R sublimation paper and it peels off. It is expensive, so I only use it for cutting boards. Your way works just as well, though! Thank you so much for sharing the idea!

I know this video is older but I enjoy your style and teaching. You may or may not see this question but I think you will have the best answer as you have obviously used DT glass cutting boards a while ago. I’m wondering if you found that the ones you used 651 to sublimate on have faded quickly. I want to make them for a small club as raffle items but don’t want to find out they fade quickly. Hoping to hear from you.

Thank you so much! Over time, the ink has migrated some, resulting in a somewhat blurry effect. It didn’t happen quickly but it seems like someone told me once that their’s got blurry in a couple of months.

Thank you Ms. Marilyn! I couldn't get my vinyl to adhere flatly on the smooth side... it's like lifting gorilla glued mess, so I'm trying this on the textured side. Much easier. Letting it cool now and will use the water bath method for releasing the image.

I hope it works out well for you. What brand of sublimation paper are you using? I have seen that TextPrint R supposedly doesn't stick and you can peel it off after the vinyl cools, so I ordered some off of Amazon and it arrived. If that is true, then I won't have to use the water bath. I will test it soon. Also, I ended up buying some liquid that helps you get all your bubbles out. Thanks!

get a spray bottle and put a drop of Dawn dishwashing liquid in it. cut a round or square piece of vinyl in your cutting machine 7.75 X 7.75 spray down smooth side and get wet. put vinyl on wet glass, you will notice it's moveable now. when you have it positioned correctly, use your squeegee on a towel to smooth vinyl , use towel to dry. I sublimate for 170 seconds at 350 then open press and look, then sublimate another 170 secs at 350 and let cool completely. Don't try to peel paper off, put glass and paper in a sink of water and let soak for atleast 30 mins, paper will peel off easily. I have made hundreds of these using this method and have messed up very few.

one more thing, I use multiple types of paper but the one that peels off easiest is the koala paper. It has jammed in my et2720 before but it is the easiest peeler for the round or square cutting boards

Windex is far less expensive than $17 that you paid. Also Glue B Gone is better than soap&water

Thank you for letting us know about the windex option. Hopefully it can save other people money:) I changed sublimation paper brands and it comes off without leaving paper, but I will keep the Glue B Gone in mind. Thanks again.

Cool project. But there are much easier ways to get a similar result than cutting vinyl and then transferring it just to be able to print.

If you’re saying you will lamiminate the top and sublimate on the top, then no it won’t be and you will likely cut into the film.

My oracle 651 vinyl warped with the heat press. Used same settings and press time. Any suggestions?

@MakingwithMarilyn

2 жыл бұрын

I am sorry to hear that! Is your vinyl on the bottom of the cutting board so that the heat of the press platen is not touching it? In other words, the layering is (from bottom to top) blowout paper, sublimation paper, vinyl, glass cutting board, blowout paper on top (may not be necessary), then heat platen?

What is the red "scraper" you use to get the bubbles out?

I have only used oracle permanent vinyl but if you try it with another brand, let us know if it worked. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. If I have another brand of permanent vinyl, I will try it.

do you have to use sublimation paper?

@MakingwithMarilyn

3 жыл бұрын

I find that sublimation paper works better for me, but some people sublimate using regular printer paper. I do not. know, but I suspect regular printer paper might stick a bit more but you could wipe that off with water and a rag. Sublimation ink is required though for this project.

I haven't tried the glossy, but am up for the challenge:) Does your glossy Oracal 651 actually say that it is glossy. I have some white Oracal 651 that I got at Michaels. It's definitely not matte, but it doesn't say glossy either. It just says it's white permanent vinyl. It is pretty shiny, but I don't know if this is what you have?
