You really did a great job here. Thank you so much for showing us that mistakes happen and now others can learn from them. You are the first person I see that heats the glass first to get out the moisture from the vinyl. thank you for this. I wish I saw this video first.
Not a problem!! You are welcome!! Thank you for watching and your kind words! Glad to help!!
I love your videos! Especially because they're not edited and show that you are human and make mistakes (like we do). Continue to be yourself! :)
Thank you Vanessa, I really appreciate it! Will do, and I will always keep it real! And why not show my mistakes if it might help someone else avoid the same frustration! Plus make myself laugh when I edit it so might as well let you all enjoy if as well ( minus a few choice curse words lol) 😂 Really though I do appreciate it! And thank you for watching!!
Hey hope is all well with you and the family anyway I have a Silhouette portrait and I’m getting into sublimation I’m wondering how you use silhouette and then have Sawgrass Studio at your image could you please explain to me how to do it I don’t know how to do it I’ve been trying to look up videos it’s just not working out so if you can could you please explain to me or show me a video step-by-step how I can do it thank you
Thank you so much for sharing! I found this vid about 18 months ago and I have to say you are the FIRST to share this idea on RUclips yet no one gives you credit. There are craft and commercial channels who are using your technique but do not credit you (shame on them). I just want to say you deserve the credit! thanks again.
Thank you, I appreciate it, unfortunately in this digital age a lot of things like that can’t be protected, or at least without considerable $$, but I surely appreciate u watching and commenting, as always feel free to share! Thank you🥰🥰
Love that you didn’t edit your mess ups.... Kudos to you 👍🏻
Thank you!!
I am laughing and learning at the same time! Thanks so much for leaving the "issues" in the video. That's how we learn:)

I have made a ton of these the same way you do. Thanks for the video
No problem, they are Easy and people love them!! Thank you for watching!!
@@TouchofClassCreations yes they are... I have made sold and gave away tons of them. Make good pet headstones too when you apply some flex seal paste to the back of it and stick it to a rock
@@johnnyfudpucker6187 that’s a great idea!! Never thought of that one!!

LOL this was awesome you are awesome! Keep making videos please! Your work is great love cutting boards 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!! Def will do!!☺️
Wow your paper came off without sticking to the board. Amazing video.
Thank you very much!!
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!!
Very good vide, Thanks for sharing
Thank you! And no problem, thank you for watching!
Subscribed solely because you kept it real and didn't try to do a new video or edit it out 🤘
Thank you, we appreciate your support, always gotta KIR! 🤘
Great video! Thanks for doing the cutting boards. I made ornaments using your process with the laminate on galvanized aluminum tags. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! And no problem. Yes, I have seen those done as ornaments, I’ve made like dog tag necklaces with that process too, amazing what I can throw some laminate on and sublimate!
I didn’t catch the temperature you used. Loved the video. Can you tell me the temp? Thank you
@@patriciaperry2246 yes, did at 385 degrees, and in 45 second increments until the color gets where u want it. Usually at least 135 seconds, usually at least 180, sometimes more. So you can go 90 seconds and then check, and keep checking every 45 seconds until desired color
@@TouchofClassCreations Do you have a video on the dog tag necklaces?
@@Junebug3519 I have not made one on those, I’ve been doing this a couple years, only started making videos about 6 weeks ago, lol, so I still have a ton of stuff to do vids on, as well as learning new stuff everyday, basically same process, they aren’t punched dog tags, just the design and laminate on and sub on
Thank you so helpful
No problem, thank you for watching!!
Thanks very helpful..
Your welcome, thank you for watching
This was awesome...your good 💩 funny and also helpful....thank you
Lmao, thank you, I appreciate it, and thank you for watching!!
I had to chuckle. I am a stained glass artist and whenever I would do something stupid and get frustrated, I would break my glass. It didn’t take me long to learn to walk away! That glass is expensive!
Lol, yes, that was a rough day there!! Luckily I don’t mess with glass too much, but I can imagine and I have def learned walk away 20 min and come back anytime I’m frustrated, seems older I get less it takes😂😂
I use Rapid Tac Vinyl wrap application spray. If adjustments need made it is easy to lift and adjust. It also helps get bubbles out easier. It's a little pricey... but worth it. :D
Awesome, thanks for that info, I’ve read about those sprays and have been meaning to try them!! And thank you for watching!!
I use nothing but a couple drops of dawn in a spray bottle of water and I have never had a problem, I have made atleast 100 of these
I so love your video. I could not stop laughing and it was so informative, thank you
Thank you so much! I appreciate u watching and sharing, life’s too short not to laugh at ourselves! Everybody is too dang serious anymore!!
Good video thanks
Your welcome, thank you for watching!!
LOL!!! Man I feel your pain on this. I love that fact that rather than edit you show you're just like the rest of us :)
Lol, Yes sir, we all do it, and it made for a good laugh, so why not! I was about to break some stuff that day though!! 🤦🏻♂️
Invest in some Rapid Tac. It will make putting your 651 on so simple. The 651 doesn't still but rather slides where you want it and then it will stick
Awesome, I will give it a try, thank you!!
GRACIAS AMIGO NICE
🙏 thank you!
You are a good dude. And saw the wife in the distance. Getty up, good American!!! Good for you. :)
Thank you! And thank you for watching and supporting, we appreciate it!!

You need to have the picture on top in your heat press next to the heat plate. It will work using only 90 seconds. Make sure you use heat tape to hold down the picture in place.
Awesome, thank you, and thanks for watching, I’ll try it that way when I do them again!
Stick tape to the sticky residue then pull it up, it comes off alot easier than using alcohol
Good idea
Thanks for all the informational videos! Just bought this and would love to know where you got your template for the tumblers?
No problem, glad you enjoyed them! I made all of the templates I use in the videos, and they are all available here on our Etsy store touchoclasscreations.Etsy.com
Awesome video! I have done some of these and found the sublimation paper to be terribly hard to remove. I did not try to remove it until it was cold though so I will try your method of removing it while it is still somewhat hot. Thanks!!
I put about an inch of warm water in the sink, and once the glass cools put it in the water and let it soak for 5-10 minutes, it peels right off.
Thank you for watching!! Yes I was going to recommend soaking it in water for 5 min or so
@@TouchofClassCreations thanks!
@@lilbitranch thanks!
If you leave the vinyl on the paper and only pull enough paper off to stick an edge, as you peel the paper off the vinyl it will lay flat and no wrinkles or bubbles
That’s even better than window cleaner and squeegee, lol, although I normally don’t have that much difficulty, that was a rough day in the shop😂
Okay I laughed with you!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles with that mess!!!
Thank you, yeah, I didn’t even do any last year🤣 was thinking of doing em again this year though, already late to the game though!!
@@TouchofClassCreations I am doing them and making gift sets with potholders and my reds are giving me problems. They press fine on poly and when I press on the glass they look more orangey red to me. Driving me insane. I've done a ton before no issues but these reds are killing me here. So I'm using black potholders and htv to make it look like the reds are not so off instead of the red potholders 😂
I use rapid tac to lay the vinyl down it also helps the vinyl adhere better and the truck I found is use dollar tree permanent vinyl because it's less sticky. I saw no difference between the 1.25 , oracal 651 or cricut vinyl
@@Jessica-wl3of that’s crazy the reds are doing that, it amazes me sometimes we can do something so long and suddenly for some reason we have weird problems…. Was doin an apron today and layering white htv over silver and for the life of me could not get the white to stick, so something’s up with this silver, but layered a million times and no issue 🤷♂️ creative way to darken the colors though😂
@@Jessica-wl3of and I have a pile of boxes of DT vinyl and HTV and have yet to try any 😞 but I have used the blue watery patches for a shark 2 year old shirt and was awesome 👏 glad to know it works well
I got your template for the dollar tree coffee cups . Worked great thanks ! Will you be making more stuff and videos ?
Absolutely, I am working on some videos this week to get posted, and should be putting them up more regularly again now, thank you for watching and supporting!!
I love watching your videos. Have you experimented with raw wood? If so, could you do a video on how to sub on just plain lauan plywood 1/4". Thanks.
Thank you for watching, I have not done too much with raw wood, we do make a sticking hangar at Christmas time, but not subbed, just using vinyl and door knobs and wood, ran out of time to do video on that before holidays, but I will add that one to the list!
Was this white 651 that you sublimated on? It looked white to me and not clear. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for to make a wedding present. So excited!!
Yes, this was white 651, not clear, however keep in mind the sub came through to the sticky side of vinyl, the other side is super faded, so I believe u would have to sublimate for less time, or use laminate over the 651 like in the cup videos, depending on what I were trying to do, but like this or anything similar I recommend white 651 for best colors
Awesome video! Definitely, show me your mistakes.... it teaches me what NOT to do. I appreciate you!
Thank you, yes that’s exactly what I figured, if I can save someone else the trouble lol, thank you for watching and supporting, we appreciate you!!
Don't know if I missed it or not, but what was your temp and total time it took? Your tutorials are very easy to understand.
Don’t know how I missed your message, here is the time...So it’s 385 for 90 seconds to start and then u can begin checking every 45 seconds or so till your colors are coming through nicely, usually 180 to 220 seconds
Hi Loved the video. Do you have to use the tex r sub paper or any kind of sub paper?
Hello, thank you, u can use any kind of sub paper. I just choose to use that paper.
Ok love the video. Is that htv? Or just regular permanent vinyl? So you sublimate on the white vinyl then the image goes through? I'm sorry I'm just trying to wrap my head around it.
Thank you so much!! Yes, it is regular white Oracal 651, and u sublimate on the top side and image goes through to sticky side which is on the bottom side of the cutting board! Showing nicely through to the top😉
Did you use Clear 651 vinyl? great video I enjoyed the whole thing you are not a robot but really human. Thanks Darlene
Lol, thank you Darlene, no was regular white 651 vinyl
I guess I'am confused how the sublimation paper image comes through the white vinyl. Thanks in advance
@@darleneharper3772 for whatever reason the ink transfer to the vinyl, and through to the back side(sticky side) so if u look on the bottom of the cutting board it looks really faded like a sub transfer paper after u press ink out of it. I’m not sure exactly why it works, ( I know why sublimation works)
but the white vinyl acts like the white ink so image comes through pretty good!
@@TouchofClassCreations Does it have to be glossy or can matte 651 work?
@@dtilley73044 I believe I have used both, and don’t believe it matters much in this case
Family first - lol just wanted to be heard lol - does it have to be Orval? Can it just be permanent vinyl? Nice job - so glad you left the struggle in & not make it look easy- Tyvm for this awesome share
Lol, thank you for watching and commenting. No any vinyl should work, I just prefer oracal myself, but any permanent vinyl should work!
Cool and simple video!!!Who knew you could do that... just wondering if I can pick your brain since I saw that you used your silhouette to create this...
I have a silhouette and an epson....how do i get to the settings for the epson printer(not sure if you're familiar with this printer?) And what would you sell these cutting boards for???
Stalking I mean following your page...Appreciate the hustle
Hey there, thanks for watching and stalking, lol, we really appreciate it!! So I use an epson et 2760 ( I believe off hand, not at home currently) and a sawgrass for sublimation, I use both from the silhouette program, I do not have any special settings for my epson, but I don’t use it for sublimation, only for printable vinyl and things like that. I usually print on vivid, or high setting on my Epson. Let me know what epson u have and I may be able to help find the printer settings u need. For the cutting boards, We typically sell them anywhere from $8 -$12. Hope this helps!!
Hi great video can u please do the same with useing the cricut infusable ink paper ?
Hello, and thank you, I am sorry, I am not too familiar with the Cricut infusible ink, I have never used it, although from what I have read it is about the same as sublimation so I would think it should work!
Oh ok thank u
I would like to know how it help up. I have ones done this way that are now all fading
The ones with pics look more faded than the ines with graphics, I was just looking at that same one with my kids on it the other day and wondering if I reheat it, if the ink would ouch back again, I may try it, and will update if I do….. but yes after 3 years it is a bit faded, can still see the pic ok, but def faded
Do we mirror the image. Also is the vinyl applied to either side Thanks for the video
The sticky side of vinyl will be on the bottom of the cutting board, so not mirror, and make sure to check as I did in the video and leave long enough for the image to come through nicely! Thank you for watching and for the support!
No, you don't mirror the image for this process.
What are the names of the texts you used? This is great! You have great videos! TY
Thank you very much, and thank u for watching!! I am sorry but that was a combination of several different fonts, and although the design is saved I am not entirely certain which exact of each font was used. It was done a few years ago, and pretty sure that was a creative fabrica or one of the many packs I used design
The kid struggle is real 🤣 I have a lot I get it lol
That was a rough video day there 😂
Thanks for your video. I’ve done many of these and find that my images bleed over time. Wondering if you’ve had this issue or if any of your subscribers have?
Thank you so much for watching! Yes, I do find that after about 2 or 3 years the image is not quite as sharp, seems like it bleeds back to the bottom side of the cutting glass
I also use the text print paper but it sticks to the boards. any suggestions? I may be heating it to long and what temperature are you using
So I usually do these for about 90 seconds at 385, and then start checking at 45 second increments. In this video, I believe I checked every 45 seconds from start. Basically though its probably gonna be a total of 180 seconds or more, so if your using the same paper and method, it shouldn't stick any worse than mine did. I think the key is the break in between each press, and keep in mind the paper goes on the bottom and then your glass laying on top of that, that should also help prevent the paper from sticking, let me know if that helps!!
Great video. I did this process some time ago with soap & water and a few months later the image is all blurry. It has never been used or washed. How has your image held up. I'm wondering if it is the rapid tac. I've just ordered some and hopefully that will be better.
I apply vinyl with small amount of windex, and that’s about it, haven’t washed either, but didn’t use any solution other than a small amount of windex
@@TouchofClassCreations I must have posted this on the wrong video.
@@buddysmith7080 no problem, thanks for watching anyhow, we appreciate it!!
Hello, nice video! Is it possible to clean it in a dishwasher?
Hello, thank you! I am not sure have never tried, although I don’t think it would be good to expose the vinyl to the high heat of the dishwasher, but I can’t say for sure.
What type of sublimation printer do you use and why?
I use a sawgrass sg400, and I use it because when I first got into sublimation I didn’t want to mess around with converting a printer or filling/refilling ink, and I liked the fact that it does it’s own maintenance, if I don’t print for 2 weeks or a month it doesn’t clog up the heads or lines, i had it for almost a year and half and didn’t barely use it and still printed like I printed everyday, and I’m able to find refill for much cheaper than the sawgrass ink and works as well and u don’t have to fool the printer to think the ink is real
Hi, can you use 651 gloss? or does it have to be matte? thanks!
I have not done with the gloss but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work
How does it work after washing etc does the vinyl come off and does the sublimation fade etc -
As long as u aren’t submerging in water for extended time it should hold up fine. We use ours more decoratively, however have not had any complaints from anyone either!
Does it make any difference to use the glossy Oracal 651 vs the matte?
No, I don’t believe so, I have done with both and haven’t noticed too much of a difference with these
So you remove the sub print along with the HTV and the sublimation image remains on the cutting board?
No, the sub print comes off, vinyl stays on, but is on underside of glass, not cutting surface, image goes to back side(sticky side of vinyl)
Can you do this without a heat press
For the sublimation to work you would need a heat press, or at minimal probably a Cricut easy press. I have not tried these with any other methods.
I’m excuse my probably obvious answer. But do you sub on the white vinyl or transparent vinyl?
Not a problem, I used white oracal 651 vinyl
What would you seal it with if I wanted to use as a cutting board?
If I were going to seal it I would either use mod podge or spray sealer
I wouldn't use a sealer, just don't submerge in water or put in dishwasher. Use regular washing methods and dry thoroughly. It's just like if you put a vinyl decal on your car, you don't seal those with anything. The side that has the print is on the bottom of the cutting board and will not come in contact with food, and it shouldn't peel off, as it is permanent vinyl.
question. Why would you heat the image with the paper image on the heat press down & NOT flipped over with sublimation paper on top as we would usually head press doing sublimation?🤔Thanks great video
Hello, thanks for watching and great question, in this case, I was doing that to watch the image and know when the image had bled through enough to be seen clearly, I was playing around with a lot of different substrates as I do to find alternate ways of trying our crafts, and it was simply to keep me from having to keep flipping the glass over, picture images and text images also would come through differently, much like over/under cooking black. Also keep the paper from browning to much for the extended time of cooking since it was more than 60 seconds, but didn’t know how long🤷♂️
@@TouchofClassCreations gotcha 👍🏽🤩 thank you
I am new to all that is crafting. would I be able to do the same with printable vinyl? Is sublimation better because it last longer?
Well I believe the ink is different with sublimation, vs printable vinyl, in this method the ink is soaking from the front side of the vinyl through to the sticky side, to where the front side looks faded. I do not know if regular printer ink and printable vinyl will achieve the same effect, unless u sub the printable vinyl, in that case it’s cheaper to use oracal vinyl then
Thank you for responding. I am new at all this so when I learn more it will all make more sense to me what all the differences are.
It would be great if you put printable instructions so we could print after watch, just a idea
I would definitely love to do that, and maybe in the future when I am able to do this full time I can, right now as u can see I barely have time to get new videos up, and the ones I do even have up I barely put graphics with steps in which I like to do!! It is a great idea however, I just don’t currently have the time! 🤞for the future!!
Have you ever tried clear oracal 651 with one of these? I have a roll I need to use up on something.
That's an interesting idea! Did you end up trying it?
I haven't, and I have some I need to try to, that I got to try for some stickers that I haven't got to play with yet
@@TouchofClassCreations been having a hard time here finding glass but I hit the jackpot today and found 13 square and 12 round . I like the vinyl sticker paper and the laminate for stickers.
@@johnnyfudpucker6187 me too, and I travel around a bit so I am always checking g DT’s for blanks of all the items I use as well as new ones lol
Can I do the same procedure for acrylic?
The idea should work in theory because the sublimation is going into the vinyl, the only issue would be the acrylic holding up to the heat for the length of time, I do not work with acrylic so do not know if it would soften being under the heat press for couple minutes at 350+ degrees?
I never heard you say what temperature just the time. What's the temp you use?
Hello, 385 and did for 90 seconds and then increments of 45 seconds after that…. Others have said u can press with the image up and for just 90 seconds, but I haven’t tried that!!
Can you use a Cricut Easy Press 2? What is the size and name of your press? Thanks,
Im not sure on the cricut easy press 2, I dont know the size, as long as it will heat to the correct temp, and will cover the entire area I do not see why not. My press in the video is a Heat press nation Signature series sure press 15x15 swing away
Does it need to be sealed?
I do not seal mine, although I use mainly for decorative purposes, if u plan to use as cutting board u could seal, I don’t seal the cups and as long as u don’t wash in dishwasher or leave soaking in water they hold up good. So I don’t but if you plan on washing it frequently you may want to
Can you use colored vinyl?
If it was a light color you may be able to, but like subbing on a shirt, the color of the vinyl will be in place of any white color, I have not tried any other color than white
I tried this method and when I pulled my paper up the vinyl was still sticking to it. Would this be because i needed to press longer, pressed too long, or didn’t wait long enough before removing?
It could be the paper, or the length of time pressing, hard to say for sure, I have heard a lot of people say the paper sticks so could be the brand too, now I also check every 45-90 seconds after the first 90 seconds and maybe the break in heat might help. Try pressing for 90 seconds, and then check it every 45 seconds after to see when your image is how u like. Then try the peel and see if that works. How long are I waiting to peel?
I tried this and initially it looked great. But now after a month or two the images seem to be blurry. Would HTV work better or even Siser Easy Subl?
I am not too sure, the one in the video there I did the prior year and it sat on my desk half the year and in a tub the other half, I have only ever made them with oracal 651 and never seemed to fade, do u know if u used oracal or something different like paper studio, that the only difference I could think, or possibly you did not sublimate long enough, or too long? I’ll double check mine when I get a chance as it’s been another year or so since I posted that initially
Yes, it was Oracle 651. I’ve seen on some Facebook groups that they have the same problem
When I use the oracle white 651 my background looks white. How is yours transparent?
That must have been an optical illusion or camera trick, I had to go back and rewatch as this was a couple years ago, the background is actually green in that design, I believe it just looked kinda transparent by the camera angle, def a green background though, u could use clear oracal, but unless u have a white toner printer anywhere there would be white will be clear
Has anyone tried the Dollar Tree permanent vinyl for sublimation on the glass cutting boards?
I have not yet, we bought some but I haven’t played with it yet, hopefully soon!! Will update when I do!!
What program are you using to do this cutting board
I used silhouette to do the design
How much does a cutting board like this sell for and what software are you using to make this video thanks in advance
$8-$10 is what we do on the cutting boards, I’m sure you could go more if you wanted. I believe I edited this video in Adobe premiere rush. It was that or iMovie, but I think I only did the first 3 videos in iMovie, so yeah, Adobe premiere rush I believe. And thanks for watching!!
Does it matter if u use matte or glossy vinyl?
No, either will work!
what program are you using to create this please?
I do most design in silhouette, im pretty sure that was done in silhouette studio business edition
Have you ever tried clear instead of white Oracle 651?
I ordered some and tried quickly once, didn’t quite turn out how I wanted, am planning on trying it for some stickers, it works, problem is absence of white can make colors or design a little different than using the white
@@TouchofClassCreations Thanks for the answer, as I was wondering the same thing. I understand that the white vinyl makes the colors more vibrant and helps make them pop! Thanks for the info.
What program are you using to create the image?
I mainly use silhouette studio for most of my design, Very little photo shop and paint 3-D as well, this picture here was just taken on iPhone and uploaded to silhouette and printed exactly as u see, that in the video is silhouette studio business edition, I apologize, I should have expanded on that, I made the video so long ago I don’t remember if I specify that, I will add a link as well in the description, as I did not think of that before, lol🤦🏻♂️
Wouldn't u want the image on the side of the press u lower or should it be on the bottom?
In most cases yes, however in this case with the glass and the image coming through the vinyl, doing it this way allows u to monitor the image and stop when the image is to your liking. You could do the other way and I would imagine the image may come through a little faster.
I need to buy a press heat machine with 5 or more attachments. What woud you recomend?
If you are looking for a 5 in one I would recommend this one, I still have it and use the press and attachments, best no name press I’ve ever used, have better ones now but I still keep this around, so for 5 in 1 this is the only one I’ve tried amzn.to/3nbeETO
@@TouchofClassCreations Thanks for your reply
@@TouchofClassCreations are you finding that a 12x15 is big enough? I've been thinking of a 15x15.
@@mistyjones4194 absolutely not, that 12x15 was my first heat press starting out, I now have a 15x15 swing away, a 20x20 clamshell, and a 15x15 clamshell, the only 5 in one with attachments I’ve owned is that one, so that is the only one I can safely refer with attachments, it’s a decent starter press though for fairly cheap, but I highly recommend going bigger than 12x15 or be prepared to upgrade! I chose to start for inexpensive then turned profit back into upgrading equipment
So u put permanent adhesive vinyl on both sides?!
No, I put it on the bottom. U put on bottom and then sublimate the bottom
What size is your heat press?
The heat press I use in this video is 15x15
Hello what temperature did you use I missed if you said In video
So it’s 385 for 90 seconds to start and then u can begin checking every 45 seconds or so till your colors are coming through nicely, usually 180 to 220 seconds
Thanks so much!
Curious question, could the laminate, oracle be done on Cell phone cases?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, although they do make sublimatable cell phone cases, but if you just wanted to decorate an existing case, I don’t see why the same thing wouldn’t work here…printable vinyl might work well for that too!
@@TouchofClassCreations I seen that they sublimate 'em, I change my case a lot cuz I like variety so changing the laminate one out would be a lot cheaper lol. Thanks! I'ma give it a try, think I'll make that my first test when my printer gets here. Xd
@@midnightrider9904 let me know how it works out, I have put vinyl words on phone case before, my kids frequently like to change out too, so I know the vinyl should stick fine, and don’t see why laminate wouldn’t hold up.
@@TouchofClassCreations I def will. I've used vinyl and it works good but was wanting something more vibrant. Again, thanks so much for all your help and replies. I've found, at least in my experience, not many people take the time to do that. Xd
@@midnightrider9904 not a problem, if u ever have a question and I’m slow to respond u can also ask through Etsy or Facebook, they have a little better notification so I sometimes don’t get to the RUclips comments as quick if I’m busy, can be hit or miss, just FYI! We appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos, least we can do is share what little knowledge we have!
Does it have to be orcal 651 vinyl?
I don’t think that it has to be, although I have only ever done it with Oracal 651
My vinyl still showed on edges and the back side- to the point I worried about it coming off so I put mod podge on. Did I do something wrong?
How do u mean it still showed on the backside? The vinyl is adhered to the cutting board, as long as there is no excess hanging over the sides it should stay as long as your not soaking it in water or putting in the dishwasher, I don’t think it’s a problem that u used mod podge, when I make them personally there are more decorative so I don’t wash them at all, so I don’t have a need personally to mod podge or seal them, of course if your using them for food purposes I would follow instructions, for example mod podge I believe takes 28 days to sit/cure before it is “food safe”, although I would not quote me on that for sure, read the label is your best bet
@@TouchofClassCreations Thank you, I want to make sure it's able to be able to be used for both uses. I've mod podged coasters before and washed them and had forever . Just didn't plan on having to do that step.
May I ask what kind of printer 🖨 do you use?
Yes, thank you for watching! So for sublimation I use a Sawgrass 400, for regular inkjet stuff an epson eco tank 2760, and I just recently added a white toner printer, Uninet Icolor 560, which is amazing, and I’ll have a video on that in the next week! Hope that answers your question!
Thank you!
