You can resublimate. Put the mug in a convection oven at 400 degrees for an hour that will fade the image, the resublimate again but this time use a complicated, preferably dark pattern (kind of like when you get a coverup tattoo). I've saved many mugs and tumblers this way.
I am very new to this and this was one of my first worries. I do believe in being able to use resources efficiently and you taught me something really valuable. Thank you very much!!!!
So glad I could help
The scourer and pressure you used is what took the coating off, we use them in car paint shops to scuff up paint on a car that’s getting a paint job done 😊
The scotch brite pad most likely scrubbed off the polyester coating that accepts the dye.
Very thorough and helpful video! Thank you for doing that.
Omgoodness those mugs are beautiful 🥰 vibrant colors 💕
Thank you so much.
Those are absolutely beautiful!! I love your videos as they are so informative and helpful. Thank you.
You’re welcome
Thanks for showing that for the benefit of all of us 👍👍
Awesome video Queen. THANK YOU ❤️! I am going to do my 2 mugs I have been holding on to now. Look forward to another great video. God bless 🙌🏽
You're welcome
Wow!!! It was amazing simply!! I liked it. Thanks. I do sublimations and at times I make mistakes in my sublimations 😳 but now I have as fix it 😊 Thanks again! Go on!! Great job
Thank you for sharing this. I have a mug I tossed just this week and almost held onto it thinking maybe it could be removed. But watching your video as you were scrubbing it, I wondered if that (or the vinegar) would remove the coating that allows the sublimation. Now we know! But at least you can use for water slide. And your son is adorable, loved the commentary on the smell! :-)
Thank you. And he hates all kinds of smells...he's a trip. Thank you!
What's water slide
Thank you so much! For letting us know. Have a bless day!
You're welcome. Be blessed!
Thank you for doing this!!! I have a few tumblers over been holding onto in hopes that I can salvage them
I show videos on how to used messed up tumblers.
Sad 3 mugs were messed up. Very grateful you showed us how to remove the sublimation after messed up though. Thank you for always teaching. hello to your son too.
Hello and you’re welcome.
This is good to know. Thanks for the video Sistergreek! I use A-Sub paper too. Love it.
YES I love it. You're welcome.
I could listen to y’all say vinegar all day! So cute. ❣️
Lol. Really.?
Thanks for this valuable info. !! 👏🏾👍🏾 I have some messed up mugs that I can do this to.
Definitely give it a try.
Wow. That is amazing. Thank-you!
I want to say thank you. I didn’t need to remove my image I just needed to take off some ghosting and I used white vinegar on a makeup sponge and then used the sponge 🧽 to scrub it. It came off amazingly and save my mug.
Excellent
This is exactly what I was hoping I could do for ghosting….going to give it a try!
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Do you think this would work to remove lint dye on the white part of a metal tumbler?
This is awesome! I have one that has a little ghosting…can’t wait to try it! 😄
May I ask how long you let it soak or if you did? Thanks😁
Those mugs are cute. Love the bling
Thank you
Thank you for the tutorial. Good to know.
Oh wow, the vinegar worked! At least I can still reuse the mug. Thanks for this.
Yes I dont mind using a waterslide or Vinyl every now and then as long as don't have the throw the whole mug away.
This was very informative. Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome
Eu gosto de experiências assim. Trás muito aprendizado. Muito obrigada por compartilhar!!! 🇧🇷❤️
Thx for showing us all cuz I messed up the same way last night and now Ik its my cup for home use
You’re welcome
Thank you for doing this video and sharing your results
You’re welcome
those mugs are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Thank you.
Thank you. I got a few messed up cups that that are sitting cause I couldn’t sell them....Thanks for the magic
You're very welcome! Don't let them go to waste!
Thank you very much for sharing this and for answering the question I was thinking about regarding removing and resublimating a messed up mug; if it was possible.
You're welcome
Thanks for this info. Im a beginner and need hope for possible messups .
No problem. Good luck
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 wish it would work on infusible ink messups.
I wonder if heating the vinegar will help. Maybe doing a double boiler method, but not actually boiling it
I could have saved like 20 mugs last month if I knew this!!!! Thank you
Awwww Hopefully, this can help you for the future.
OMG me too!
Right!
Great information! Thank you! Great video!
You're welcome
Thank you showing this. Great to know this.
Love it thanks for the video question you said you would waterslide on mug when you waterslide then how do you seal?
Bake it in oven for 8 to 10 minutes and the image is sealed on
Thanks so much for sharing this information! Love your mugs, amazing bling, they’re gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much
Love the bling on your cups where did you purchase the rhinestones please?
Thank you. Mainly from Decko Krafts
Thanks for sharing. Your son is adorable
Thank you. He's a handful lol
Thanks for the info - good to know...p.s. omg those mugs are beautiful!
Very useful video. Thanks
You’re welcome
Not only have you probably scrubbed off the sublimation coating, but you have now embedded micro scratches all over the mug so whatever design goes on next, longevity will be an issue. Also, I buy mugs for well under a dollar, so it’s cheaper and less time consuming to just use a new mug!
Great video anyhow, this is how we all learn!
Where do you get your mugs, if you don’t mind sharing. 👀. To save some us irritated crafters some time lol
Please share if you may
Following
May I ask where do you get your mugs?
Where do you buy mugs under a dollar?! Do you purchase in bulk?
❤This video is great. Thank you so much for posting it. ❤
It’s old but you’re welcome
Thankyou, I have sublimation ink on my pvc table cloth, will try soaking it in white vinegar 😊
Let me know if that works
That's great! I have a couple mugs I messed up on and wondered if this could be done. Now I know. Thank you so much for this. Now i'm wondering if you can buy that spray can sublimation stuff and use it on mugs. Hmm! Oh and say Hey to your son from up north Michigan! Be groovy darlin! Hugs to all!
Yes I may get the spray. Thanks for watching. Stay groovy
oh my goodness, those mugs are super cute!!! Can you do a video on how you created that image to sublimate?
Yes
Love the video, and thanks Soror 💚💞
You’re welcome
Thanks for sharing. That's really great to know that vinegar can remove the images. I wonder if this would work on tumblers. I have so many tumblers that I jacked up. I'll be trying this method on them. Thanks again!
You’re welcome. I’m going to try it on tumblers too. But you can try to burn off the sublimation. I will be doing a video real soon on that.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Ok...if I burn it off will I be able to sub on it again? I think I'll try it.
Hey Katrina, great video for educational purposes. Now we know the outcome of this process. But you know you can bake it off in the amount of time it took ti soak it. Then you can rebate them. Thanks for the great content you provide
Yes definitely! I only bake it off now. This video is very old.
Wow, thanks for sharing!
You're So welcome
I knew there was a video on this... you've just saved me a bunch of $$$!!!!! Thank you girl!!!!!
I put a commercial Sublimation solution on a Dollar Tree ceramic mug. When I sublimated on the mug, the image came out great except that I didn't have the wrap tight enough and the mug didn't cover evenly. I viewed several videos on how to remove the sub ink from the mug including the vinegar, heat and paint thinner methods. However, I found, at least in my case, that simply using nail polish remover does the trick. I put a small amount of nail polish remover on a paper towel and rubbed it on the mug. It took a few paper towels, but the sublimation came right off without scrubbing. I'll have to put the sublimation solution on the mug again, since I believe I also removed that with the nail polish remover. However, I was able to remove all of the ink and am starting with a completely blank coffee mug without any sign of the original image. Just thought I'd send this along and see if you might want to try this method.
I will definitely try that. Never thought about using that. Thanks for the tip. If it works for me I will definitely do a video on it and shout you out.
But can you make a new sublimation on that mug that youcleaned w polish remover?
Would love this for tumblers please ❤
Hiya, I loved the image that you put on your mugs, I'd love to see a video of you attaching all the pearls x Can you tell me how you find the difference between the water slide and the sublimation, I tried the water slide first but it came off really quickly, so I bought all the sublimation stuff which I love. How did you get on with the water slide?
Here is a video I did a while ago
ruclips.net/video/8IyUmo443iQ/видео.html
Thank you for sharing this video.
You're so welcome.
If you have a lot of messed up mugs like myself 😅 you could probably get away with soaking paper towels in vinegar then wrapping it on the mug and securing with foil or Saran Wrap. So you can do more at a time as well as possibly accelerate the cleaning action.
Also I have the sublimation glaze and I don’t care for it, too much work to apply and it flaked off easily, I decided my sanity was of more value lol.
It looked like alot of work all the times you have to spray it and its so expensive. But great tip. I will try the paper towel method.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 it really is when you consider how much you have to use! And the time loss is as bad as money IMO, it’s impractical when you have limited time. But I think this is a great way to help others get a clean slate so we can do alternative art instead, so thank you! ❤️
You are very welcome
What size mugs do you prefer and size image do you use
Thannnnk youuu sooo much this is a life saver
I had to subscribe. I'm sitting here saying if that mug accepts a sublimation image after all that scrubbing and scraping, with vinegar....Imma need to know that mug brand! Great vid!
Lol. Yeah no but I put a water slide right over that baby. Lol
Hi, this method is great and, i suggest you to apply sublimation coating liquid on mugs and heat up the mugs and then you can reprint on them
Yes definitely this video is old
Woah! That's so cool!
Maybe you should use poly gloss after the scrub then reprint
Maybe you shouldn’t scrub and just let it sit longer and see if it keeps the protection on the mugs? Just a thought
It say over night and still didn't come off. You have to scrub a little
very informative
There is a coating on the mugs for Sublimating in to adhere to. I'm guessing the coating got stripped off when cleaned and the ink no longer sticks to the mug. Great Video.. now we know.. Thanks.
A
Say hi to your son for me too😃. That was a very good answer to the question for me that has not come up yet. But now I know the answer when it does thanks to you. Thanks again for caring and for sharing. Oops it end up sounding like AA meeting 😄👍
That made me laugh 😆 No problem at all. I will definitely let lil man know you said hi. Glad I could help. Be blessed!
I love your accent - I could listen to you forever lol. New York?
Lol. Yes I’m from NewYork. Thank you.
Hi, I did try the one with the white vinegar, it did work but it took some time and elbow grease, instead of the green scrubber I rinsed of the SOS pad and it worked well
Excellent. Yes it took me some elbow grease too. Lol.
But was u able to sub again?
@@lakeeyaaldridge2834 its at the end of the video
Sue Wolfe- Did you try fingernail polish remover? It's a solvent and should take it off. ❤
No
I wonder if citri strip would work?
That white vinegar was a bomb how it worked but I would surely still use the cup for a vinyl project for self... beautiful cups!
Exactly!
Thank you for this sis. Question: what if you heat the vinegar
I have never done that. Don’t know if it would make a difference
What size are the water slide image and where did you get your images from
I have bake then in the oven to remove image and it faded the image a lot but not all the way so I redid it in a darker image and it worked
Good to know! I will definitely try!
I had thrown out so many wine tumblers. I don’t like headaches and just throw away, but I’ll try it. Safe my money. Love ur images with the blue and orange. Where can I buy the image at. Thanks.
You can buy images off Etsy
Thank you for doing this video! We all needed to know. But really wanted to tell you that there’s a company advertising a sublimation removal product on Facebook and using parts of your video in their ad! I couldn’t get the name or a screenshot because it disappeared when I went back to get it.
Wow really. That’s crazy. Wish I knew I would definitely sue. Thanks for letting me know. I’m going to try to find it.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 if I see it again I’ll get all the info for you!
Hello Katrina. Please if you can help. So i am doing sublimation. I have a problem with black color. My printer is Epson (not so important which model), and i bought it recently, so it is a new printer and already problem started. The problem was also on old printer before. Sometimes i print many pages and everything is clear on paper. But meanwhile after some amount of prints, the paper have tiny tiny black dots. Those dots are so small that you can see them on the paper very hard. So i am always checking before sublimation, immediately when print is done. Sometimes if i don't see that there are dots, on a mug is really a big mess, not nice to see. Sometimes a little more, sometimes not so much. And then i need to do a Head Cleaning. And when it is done, everything is ok and clear for some followings prints. And then again, dots appears again. So i know it is not good to do Head Cleaning so often, so i try to find a solution. I think that there is a problem with a color? Maybe i should try to buy another color? Because printer is new, so printer can't be problem, at least i think so. Also not sure that paper is problem. And what is interesting, dots are always black, never other color. I am doing everything in photoshop, i know that there are many option, i tried that also, but then is problem with color od design etc. Please if you have have some thoughts, everything can help. Sorry for english and so much texts.
So pretty, what glue do you use for,the gems stones?
I have 2 bling tutorial videos on my channel but I use E6000
Will this work on sublimated sheet metal?
Thank you so much
God blessed you
Same to you!
Great video, and good information. It sucks that it removes the sublimation coating by scrubbing. I was able to sublimate on some stainless tumblers using 2 coats of a clear gloss polyurethane spray. It should work just fine on anything, including mugs, just make sure the poly is cured first. And I would definitely test on some trash mugs prior to doing on $$ mugs.
Good morning. So glad I could help. And yes I will be trying that as well and doing and updated video. You guys have been giving me great tips as well.
Thank you for showing us your experiment. Hello son!
I was routing for you to succeed with subbing after scrubbing. Thanx again, Jerri.
Thanks for watching. About to pick lil man up now. I'm going to be trying other methods as well.
Can we re-use the same mug for sublimation after removing the old image from it ?
Amazing
It really works
What kind of glue to you use for the beads? How do they wash up?
I use E6000 They have never fallen off. Hand wash only
Also, have you tried Poly Gloss? If someone was dead set on sublimating, they could just recoat the mug with a sublimation base coat, correct? I didn't know if you had tried that at all...
I mentioned the glaze in the video...I might try it one day but didn't want to spend that much for it. Thanks for info.
I have 4 messed up
Thank you do much.
You're welcome
SERIOUSLY gOD BLESS YOU
Could it be due to the scrubbing and not necessarily the vinegar?
Hi I messed up 2 of my tumbler. Do you know if it works on a tumbler?
Good day, would this work with Infusable inks on the same mugs?
IT Should, but I have never tried that yet.
Can you do this also to a 20oz tumbler?
Thank you for the video “we’ve all learn with you”
I just used Lacquer thinner and its heaven.
Were you able to resublimate the item after doing this?
@@nitanew1 yes, as long as you use a very soft brush (e.g.fine bristles toothbrush or nylon painting brush). The you just have to keep it aside for few days once treated. But take note I applied this method on Sculpey polymer clay, the outcome may differ from clay to clay brand.
Did you think about recoating it with sublimation coating
I'm going to try it.
I have 2 mugs I messed up.
Will let you know.
Thanks for the information 🙂
Thought about it but didn’t need to I knew I could just add a waterslide or vinyl on top of it
Walmart Tomorrow for the gallon thanks sis
You’re welcome
Hi Katrina what are the reasons for the ink spots after sublimating a mug and how can we get rid of them before damaging the mug and the photo? Thank you dear.
Hi I actually switched my ink back to the epson ink and you’re not supposed to. I though it was good when I switched back but found that I needed to run more nozzle checks. It’s fine now but the ink wasn’t right when I put it back in so it came out light
Can I just say I love how you pronounce “vinegar”
Lol I sound weird
will that work on any cups like 20 oz tumbler
Awesome video!!! Does it work on tumblers too
It should I haven't tried tumblers yet though.
Thanks
