  • Sometimes it's nice to just be able to transfer a printed image right onto a piece of wood. Whether it's for a base for some airbrush work, or it's going to be the finished product.
    Get the polycrilic medium here:
    Polycrylic Gloss: amzn.to/2DY6toX
    Polycrylic Satin: amzn.to/2EZd5CH

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  6 лет назад +4

      As I understand it, it’s the polycrylic that takes on the ink. So, any surface that you can properly paint with the polycrylic should allow for this technique. A properly dried and scuffed nitro finish should be no different, but you can’t replace the acrylic medium with nitro if that’s what you mean.

    • @gpdaelemans
      @gpdaelemans 5 лет назад

      Related question: I’d be interested in applying the image between a nitro-based color coat and then a nitro clear coat on top. Does nitro lacquer adhere to polycrylic?

      I’ve now done about 8 transfers using Polycrylic. I’ve found best results with sanding to 400 with a random orbital and I only rub the paper off when it’s newly wet. Then I let it dry, haze white, then wet and rub again. Repeat. If I keep rubbing, I take off the pic. I think if the ink get saturated with water, it lifts easier so I do it in steps. But I’m still learning

  • @realjumper
    @realjumper 6 лет назад

    Hiya Brad....well I had some success with a different way of doing this and I think it worked the best so far. This is what I did...fwiw
    1. I just used a piece of NZ pine sanded to 400 for this test.
    2. I used the Mod Podge acrylic because it's what I had to hand.
    To apply the ModPodge I used a sponge roller rather than a brush this time. It isn't a heavy sponge sleeve on the roller, in fact it was quite a thin roller sleeve such as you would use for (say) applying polyurethane to a piece of furniture. The coating was even and smooth.
    The image was printed onto photocopy paper which gave an alright image. Not as good as (say) photopaper, but much easier to work with in this application.
    Instead of placing the image face down and they trying to get rid of the bubbles, I started by placing one edge of the paper on the pine board, and gradually laying the the image down on the paper by using a lino roller ( like this one: www.trademe.co.nz/art/art-supplies-equipment/other/auction-1533483654.htm?rsqid=426bf66c66a14492b659faf7b8ccddcd ) to get rid of the bubbles as I went. It's kind of like laying steak down in a very hot pan when you don't want the hot oil to splash everywhere....I hope you get what I mean?
    Doing it this way I was able to lay the image down gently with the roller and without any bubbles by the time I had the image completely flat on the board. I left this overnight to dry and the next day I used warm water and a soft sponge, as you did, to remove the paper with only a little residue left, which I cleaned up with the sponge later.
    The image didn't tear out at all, although this may be luck because I haven't tried it again yet!! I'll do this 2 or 3 more times and if it works well, then I'll see about making the clock that I want to make for my extended family who live in your city!!
    Now it's beer o'clock..... later.....

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  6 лет назад

      Sounds like you’ve got a good process in place. I find that the mod podge and acrylic mediums are a bit thick and hard to get smooth.

    • @realjumper
      @realjumper 6 лет назад

      Yep...that's been a major issue for me too. I would much rather use something else that isn't so thick, and I probably need to hunt down something and make some further tests as I really want this clock project to be as near perfect as can be.....

  • @PicksPaints
    @PicksPaints 6 лет назад

    That is a cool trick. I've seen others do a very similar technique using color laser printers as well. It's a very cool method to put a custom design on a wood surface. Just don't forget to print it backwards especially if there's text involved. And from what I understand, yes it must be laser printer. If you don't have a laser printer, I believe most Staples, Office Depot/Office Max, office supplies stores likely offer color laser printing.

      You could get away with a lot on wood. On acrylic its a little challenging. The plastic deforms easily if its too hot or left too long. Any slight imperfections show up as light passes through.
      Try it on scrap and see how it goes. Laser printers can produce really vibrant prints so it can make for a brilliant guitar project.

      If your binding has clear over it: Scuff the finish, mix some amber dye with clear and paint it over the binding (either by hand or by reverse masking and spraying), and then throw a coat of clear over the whole thing to bury the new paint and bring the shine back.

    Hey Brad, thanks for the informative tutorial. I needed your advice on something. I have a completely stripped down stratocaster (bare wood) that I wanted to transfer multiple images onto, mainly printed photos. But in addition to the photos, I wanted to stain the wood to the color of my liking so that the negative spaces would show the stained wood through the transferred images. What order of events would you suggest as far as achieving this final look? Would I have to stain first, then apply this transferring technique? If so, would I have to paint the polycrylic over the entire surface of the already stained wood to keep the same color consistency? Or would it make more sense to transfer the image first into bare wood, and then stain it afterward? But then how would the stain reach the wood if there's a layer of polycrylic underneath? Please help if you can, I'd really appreciate it!!!

    • @BradAngove

    Can I use Polycrylic to transfer an image on top of the FINISHED electric guitar body? Will it damage the coating/finish? Also, I've seen that acetone is a reasonably decent method as well to transfer image onto wood, but if I do that on a finished body, will it severely damage the finish (Almost removing the finish I heard)? I'm planning on something not too big (Like 8cm x 5cm)

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  6 лет назад

      The acetone method will almost certainly damage the finish. If you sand properly and prep like you normally would to add a polycrylic finish on top of your finished body it should work. It shouldn’t do any damage to the paint underneath. At most an adhesion issue may be possible. I haven’t tried that though, so I can’t really say with 100% certainty.
