Subli Glaze™ Adhesion Promoter is first required to allow your chosen Subli Glaze™ product to bond effectively to the substrate, when you are applying it to any hard substrate with a smooth surface such as metal, glass, or acrylics. It allows your chosen Subli Glaze™ product to adhere to hard substrates with a smooth surface and to prevent the separation of coating and substrate after pressing.

Try inserting a skinny glass or something similar filled with sand, it may be that when you pour in the sand, it gets in-between the paper and the mug

Could be. But whatever I think about seems not to compare to the pressure of heat press and it's heat I think...

You can probably use the crockpot liner bags as they are for use with high temps.

thanks for posting this, I love these videos, as I'm old and new to this. I don't know why someone doesn't come up with a smaller plate style element, the size of the inside of the cup and just do it that way, I may try to cut one of mine down to see it I can get it to work. Also I don't think the sand gets hot enough for the proper length of time to turn the ink to gas for transfer as the sand heats up at a much slower rate than the rest of the cup. but pressure is also the problem, I think anyway...

I totally agree I think it's both pressure and temp that is a problem!

With sublimation, I have found it to be not so much actual pressure as FULL CONTACT with the surface. Inside the bottom of the may have tiny variations and even with sand, it might not be making even contact. Also I'll bet your sand doesn't get hot enough for long enough. By the time it gets really hot all the way down against the design , time is probably almost up. I wonder if it would help to cut a round piece of that green heat conductive mat and put that down first on top of the design, then just a little weight that would allow the heat to get in there? Like a handful of rocks so there are gaps for hot air to get in? That's what I would try next if I was doing this :)

I hoped so too!

I say instead of the sand try getting a potato masher and stick on a piece of round silicone to the end of it, once put a mug with design into the mug press, apply pressure with the siliconed potato masher all the way through the heating process but obviously wear heat gloves or oven gloves..... I think by applying this pressure this might just work as long as the mug is heating from the bottom as well as on the green sides.... Love your informative videos thank you for them!

Simply, the sand takes over 3hrs to get to the correct temp also acts as an insulator so the base doesnt heat. Use a handfull of pennies to weight the paper.

Maybe a circle of ceramic place on top of the sand. ( a little smaller than mug) and clamp it on top and bottom of mug. Make it as tight as possible. Then put in oven

I wonder if the adhesion would help and if you used something solid like those baking beads you put in pie shells

Hi there! We chatted about this as well and I don't think there is coating on the inside! - Dawn

The issue, I think, is that your sand does not get hot enough to activate the sublimation inks - it is actually acting as an insulation from the heat

Could you modify a metal G clamp for the purpose of additional pressure for this to work?

wonder if you packed/pressed the sand in the mug and laid a heavy object on top that it might help give it more pressure. I enjoyed the video and I am sorry it didn't work. I know you did your best and everything you do is greatly appreciated.

Use small lead pellets

Maybe spray the subli directly on the design so it will stick a bit better. But then again if it has to dry first so that won't work either. What if you just spray the side of the cup and tape it down tight instead of putting it on the bottom of the cup. Anything is worth a try. I wish you the best of luck with that project.

Thank you Geryann ! Do you mean on the side but inside ? Outside is no issue really!

Hi, I know its been awhile but as I was having my coffee just now, I saw a small design on the inside top of my mug (that was a repeat of the cat design on the outside) and thought to myself, hey, can we sublimate inside of a mug??? and so off to the internet I went to you Design Bundles and here I found your video.. now I see the attempts you made were unsuccessful, so since this posting, were you ever able to actually successfully do this? I would love to try it, just for my own purposes. I searched other videos and no one really got it to work aside from a few saying sand worked (but as we see in your case, it doesn't seem to work, which would probably be my outcome if i tried). So if any other attempts were done using a different method, please let me know! (this goes for any other user that happens to see this comment and can add to it).. thank you again for all the great videos!

It was really hot! I think it's pressure honestly. Imagine pressure from heat press vs this small amount of sand. Huge difference!

I also think the sand is getting under the print and lifting it … not in direct contact.
