Roger. Just did 18 of them and the turned out amazing. Just wanted to let you know that I transferred the rapidtac liquid to a small spray bottle (from dollar tree) and it works so much better. No waste and it is just enough for the vinyl to adhere to. No excess comes off the glass as it’s JUST ENOUGH.
seems im not the only one who enjoys the good ol' upside-down printed mug ;) mine is of a spaceship from a game so i can try to claim its all in the perspective
Roger I’m new to sublimation, not diy or crafting of about every kind, I just wanted to tell you I really enjoyed this very straight forward video, I like your no fuss style, and I learned quite a lot. Thank you Sir.
Thank you so much for your video, love your layback style, easy to follow steps, think I'm going to have a go at this over the weekend. Much appreciation Chez in Au.
Thanks for the great tutorial Roger. Did my first cutting board and it came out perfect. I even cut my vinyl square with rounded corners to match the corners on the glass piece.
Thank you so much for this video. It was the first one I found on this process and I was just blown away, thought no way, how does the sub image actually go THROUGH the vinyl like that - but I tried it the same day and made my first one! I didn't have Rapid Tack but had a misting bottle with Synthrapol surfactant in it and found it worked perfectly.
i've watch your tutorial & I just love them - I know you have done this last year - but what is "RAPID TAC"? can you buy this anywhere? thank you very much for your awesome shares
Hi Roger! Thank you for sharing, its amazing to know, we did not have a idea that's is possible🙂 I want to ask you, can be put this chopping board in dishwasher or must be only handwashet?
Are you sublimating onto the vinyl or onto the glass? I can't work it out by watching the video. I love your straight forward approach . Thank you for the video will be subscribing.
The vinyl. To see this step- by - step, see this video: ruclips.net/video/_v9yPE4MpVc/видео.html&ab_channel=Roger%27sShop• DYE Sublimation On Glass Step By Step
Hi Roger, I am seeing in most videos for glass Oracle 651 Matte or Glossy white vinyl is used. Could you use Oracle 651 Clear instead of using a laminate sheet on the Dollar Tree glass cutting board ? I'm not gettinga good seal with the laminate. I'm making suncatchers and the white defeats my purpose. Any help would be awesome. Love your videos they are such great learning tools !
This was a cool video and enjoyed watching it. I am not a crafty person but I believe I could do this due to the fact you explained it so well. Thank you.
Mestre muito bom seu trabalho, sou o Brazil e ainda não tinha visto nenhum trabalho de sublimação em vidro dessa forma. Obrigado pelas explicações; mesmo sem entender o idioma, mas somente pela imagem deu para entender o processo do trabalho! Valeu.
Hi Roger, can you use any other white? matt vinyl?? and I messed up my first sublimation onto a glass frame, is there a way to remove the sublimation ink? or is it a bust?? thank you
I did one today but little light but think had wrong temp. I got feet off and bought some gorilla glue and I touched it and my fingers stuck together. Finally got apart some strong stuff. Thank you love this and will make more.
Amazing process! My mind is racing with other projects to apply this process. One question that I don't think you addressed. What amount of pressure are you using with the glass?
Thank you so much for this video. I watched it twice I think I have it down pat. Heading out to see if I can find the cutting boards. You did a great job explaining everything. Well watch all of your videos that you come out with. 👍😊
I live in MN and searched several stores. Only found a few of the ones with designs on them already - BUT if you soak them a bit it is easy to take a razor blade or knife to the paper/vinyl (not sure what they used, almost like a coated paper) and remove it. I tried to order from Dollar Tree website but no clear ones in stock there either when I checked last night, but they have a variety pack that has some clear and some designed. I did my first one the other day after watching this video and it was so easy!
Since I have used my big heat press to heat acrylic so I can bend it, sublimating on it (with a laminate layer) would be risky, if it works at all. The acrylic may warp or melt. I doubt that you could sublimate direct to the acrylic without a substrate to accept the dye.
I tried to find the answer before asking… so far no luck. Question: do you have to have that spray to adhere the vinyl to the glass? And btw this is the BEST tutorial out there. So many others were super confusing. Thank you for your reply.
Hi Roger I think I’m having a senior moment!!! I’ve watched the video twice and still can’t get my head around it (senior moment). The 651 is stuck to the glass then the print is placed on the 651 (ink side to 651). Then heat pressed. This I understand. What my senior moment is I can’t understand how the ink transfers through the plastic 651 and can be seen through the glass. I may be overthinking the process! Be gentle I’m still learning.
Thank you Paul for your Question. This is what I know I thought I saw but then I watched it twice and still thought I missed something. I will have to try one day.
Hi Roger. Love your videos all the way from Australia. Just a quick question. What can I use instead if Rapid Tack? We don't have that here. Can I use just water down dishwashing liquid in a squirt bottle?
Hi. I have a question: would you like tell me what vinyl do you use to do it, it is permanent vinyl , oracle or any other please thank you so much to create videos for us.
Good morning. I have a quick question. How do i prevent my images to not stick to my laminate sheet once pressed? I have made tons of these boards now all of a sudden the paper is wanting to stick to the laminate sheet. Thanks for any suggestions you might have to fix this problem.
@@rogersshop Okay thank you. Someone also said there was moisture in the paper and put it under the heat for a few seconds to dry it some. Is that a good idea? Thanks for all your help.
I followed your directions and my project looks beautiful but I can't seem to get the paper from the sublimation paper off the back. Did I maybe heat them too long with my heat press....did the 385 degrees for 190 seconds? I used the same paper. Do you have any suggestions for removing the excess paper? Thanks great video
Just did a video on that: ruclips.net/video/RY6RpIY81jw/видео.html Still looking at other things, but this takes a long time since each experiment needs to sit for several months.
You said in the video you cut the vinyl 7.70 x 7.70 whether it's square or round. What size is the image you are sublimating? I noticed you had a border all around.
Size of image depends on what it is and the desired result. I don't always make it the full dimension of the vinyl. I do leave a .05" border around the edges of glass. This pretty much prevent little fingers from trying to peel off the vinyl. when making a full coverage graphic, I often make it 8" to make sure there are no white edges.
Yes and I have done this. 385 degrees F for 190 seconds with HEAVY pressure, so really lean on it! Be very careful not to let the easy press move or your image may ghost.
I am going to try this with my easy press 2. Did you ever do a video on the Easy Press on glass cutting boards? I can’t thank you enough for your calm, easy going videos!
Hi, one more question: I notice you have a Teflon sheet attached to the top plate of your heat press. Why did you do that? I’ve been watching your videos on heat presses and you didn’t mention that.
Have you ever had issues with the ink spreading over time? Seems like when I press the images they’re crisp but about a month later they start to blur slightly. I’m using oracle 561.
I love this! I’ve been trying to figure out how to sublimate on glass. Yours is the best! I just wonder how to cut sizes with Cricut? Ps very good explanation.
Thank you so much for the video. We tried this and it works but the colours aren't as vibrant as yours, very muted with a cloudy effect. We pressed for 190secs 3 times and no difference to the colour transfer. We have a sawgrass sub printer and printed on glass settings. Any advice in getting the picture to be vibrant in colour?
I do not have a Sawgrass printer, so not experience with settings on one. I do know that setting paper type on an Epson makes a huge difference as well as turning off high speed print and setting to best quality. For paper type (Using A-Sub paper), I set it to Premium Presentation Paper Matte.
Plain water (good, pure water) also works, just not as well. Make SURE you let this dry before pressing or you will get blisters as any residual water will flash to steam.
Vinyl will deform and melt when done the other way and if you move at all while pressing, the vinyl will shift on the glass. Plus, you can't see if the graphic transferred completely without taking it off the mat, which is necessary when using an Easy press since you can't accurately control the pressure. This CAN be done with an Easy Press, but it is not the best way since it requires heavy pressure for an extended period of time and there is a risk of moving while trying to put this much pressure on, resulting in ghosting of the image.
Yes. Just keep in mind that when using clear, the color of what-ever it is sitting on will affect the image color. I've done this on plain glass with a lit back light and it looks pretty striking.
I have never made any thing like this, I am interested in making some for my organization. My question is, what sort of sticker can I use or where can I order custom made stickers for this project? I have searched but am not even sure what I am looking for in ordering stickers.
These are not stickers. You will need a sublimation printer with sublimation ink, a heat press, and permanent outdoor vinyl, such as Oracle 651. For the graphics, you can either make your own or have someone design them for you.
We buy them direct at the Dollar Tree website. 24 to a case and they are delivered to a local Dollar Tree store, and we pick them up. Since I go though so many, the stores would never have enough in stock for our purpose.
love your video..question how did u get your writing to read correct? i made one and the writing is backwards... thank you for your time...how did u mirror the image via cricut or what? for writing to be correct when u turned it over
I do not mirror graphics in this process as they are applied to the back and pass though to be viewed from the front. If you mirror the graphic here, it will appear backwards when viewed from the front.
I use Rapid Tac to position vinyl graphics on different surfaces as it allows repositioning easily if you don't get it on straight the first time. Plain (clean) water also works, but not quite as well.
Only one of my first 6 or so tries came out without random blotches (maybe they’re gaps between the glass and vinyl). I didn’t see any bubbles after using the Rapid Tac and squeegeeing, so I’m hoping you have an idea of what’s going wrong?. Thank you!
I love watching your videos, I have learned a lot from watching them! Thank you for sharing you processes. I have one question, how do you package the glass cutting boards for shipping? I can't seem to find a box that will fit the 8x8 cutting boards. Any help would be really appreciated!
A combination of bubble-wrap pouch and a box with more bubble wrap. For bubble wrap and boxes, we purchase from U-Line. This may be expensive in small quantities.
You can also use plain water. NO soap. Do not use Windex as it will affect the adhesive. Use of windex to clean the glass is fine, but do not use it to position the vinyl.
Yes, infusible ink works as well on sublimation paper. I did not show how the design was done as this is a copyright protected graphic that I have purchased the rights to. The fonts and text were my design using a designer program from Dane Graphics. They have some very neat graphics, available by membership, but the subscription is NOT cheap.
Hi Roger thanks for the tutorial my vinyl keeps coming up and not adhering g to the round .. so you have any suggestions as to what this is happening .. I used rapid tac squeegee it and let it sit for 20min pressed for 10 min to tac down the vinyl pressed for 90 min
Let dry for 30 minutes- 1 hour after squeegee. Press with vinyl at bottom, graphics facing up for 180 seconds at 385 degrees. Do not hot peel. Let cool to the touch. Wet paper surface, let set 3-4 minutes, remove paper. Works 100% of the time. No pre-press.
Image is on the bottom, facing up, against the vinyl with glass above it. Step by step here: ruclips.net/video/_v9yPE4MpVc/видео.html&ab_channel=Roger%27sShop
I have been using the laminate sheet process for my cutting boards. Now all of a sudden my laminate is wrinkling. Any idea what could be causing this. It was never an issue before. Thank you..
Hello and what an awesome tutorial! Do you know if image could also be transferred onto matte printable vinyl? I also have a mug press and thought about possibly sublimating on wine bottles, feel free to share your thoughts on that. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate.
Printable vinyl (print & cut) vinyl is made differently from regular permanent outdoor vinyl and the colors tend to bleed and not stay sharp when attempting to sublimate on it. I tried this once and the results were poor. Same with HTV............Not something to sublimate to. Sublimating to glass, such as a wine bottle, will require a base to receive the dye. This can be a polyester coating, clear permanent outdoor vinyl (hard to find, but they do make it), or a white vinyl base.
To see this process step by step, watch this video- ruclips.net/video/_v9yPE4MpVc/видео.html&ab_channel=Roger%27sShop

Great video
Can I ask, i heard the image dulls in a few months, is thst so? How long will they stay vibrant? Thanks 😊
Yes, this can happen and I actually did a video on this. It is not a consistent problem with blurring. They will fade if exposed to direct sunlight.
I need to try all this. It's new to me!
thanks for sharing. well done and explained.
Hi Roger, can you use any other white? matt vinyl?? and I messed up my first sublimation onto a glass frame, is there a way to remove the sublimation ink? or is it a bust?? thank you
Yes, you can use matte. To remove the vinyl, heat it up and scrape. It comes off pretty easy that way
I did one today but little light but think had wrong temp. I got feet off and bought some gorilla glue and I touched it and my fingers stuck together. Finally got apart some strong stuff. Thank you love this and will make more.
Thank you so much I manages to make two boards not as sharp as your colors but I’m so happy I really appreciate all your tips
Amazing process! My mind is racing with other projects to apply this process. One question that I don't think you addressed. What amount of pressure are you using with the glass?
Medium-heavy.
Will Cricut permanent white work?
Yes
Amazing! Thank you! I'll be trying this today! Just normal, permanent vinyl yeah?
Any good quality permanent outdoor vinyl. We use Oracle 651 and 751
You heat them on at the same time?? I thought you had to do this separately! Thus will save me a TON of time!

Roger I’m interested in making an acrylic calendar with sublimation and not vinyl. Can you do a tutorial or do you have one I can view?
Since I have used my big heat press to heat acrylic so I can bend it, sublimating on it (with a laminate layer) would be risky, if it works at all. The acrylic may warp or melt. I doubt that you could sublimate direct to the acrylic without a substrate to accept the dye.
I know you mentioned oracle but can I use cricut permanent if that's all I have?
Yes. Works as well.
This literally blew my mind. Thanks for sharing!
How long does the picture stay clear. Someone said the picture doesn't stay clear for a long time. Just curious. Thanks.

No. You can also use plain water or nothing at all. The Rapid Tac helps in positioning and eliminating air bubbles. Water works too, but not as well.

Some do, some don't. If exposed to sun, will for sure.
Hi Roger. Love your videos all the way from Australia. Just a quick question. What can I use instead if Rapid Tack? We don't have that here. Can I use just water down dishwashing liquid in a squirt bottle?
Just plain water. Don't add any soap as it may interfere with the vinyl adhesive.

Did I see correctly that you pressed with the bare glass side up?
Correct
Thanks Roger! very easy process to follow, I may have just found my niche.
Hi. I have a question: would you like tell me what vinyl do you use to do it, it is permanent vinyl , oracle or any other please thank you so much to create videos for us.

Thanks for the tutorial sir. Really got me thinking of some new ideas.

Great video. Can you use a Cricut easy press. If so what temperature and for how long. Thanks
Yes and I have done this. 385 degrees F for 190 seconds with HEAVY pressure, so really lean on it! Be very careful not to let the easy press move or your image may ghost.
Thanks will give it a try
Thanks for all of your information.
Hi, does sublimation work on any vynil.?
Also what about just oracle vinyl (if you can't find the 651 one)
Yes, on any permanent outdoor vinyl, even that from Dollar Tree (not the best, but it works). However, not HTV.
@@rogersshop O okay I thought HTV was included. Thanks for the help!
HTV is intended for porous materials, such as fabric@@thesouthwestern
Incidental but where did you get the blue towel? Looks square in the video and lays really flat almost like a door mat.
Brand is Canon. it is an old bath towel that had seen better days, so was relegated to my shop.
Your demos are awesome. Thank you
Did you say either glossy or matte vinyl was OK to use?
Yes, both work.
I am going to try this with my easy press 2. Did you ever do a video on the Easy Press on glass cutting boards? I can’t thank you enough for your calm, easy going videos!
While you can use a Cricut Easy Press, it takes a lot of pressure and patience to not move while pressing.
@@rogersshop thank you! I’ll give it a try.
Hi, one more question: I notice you have a Teflon sheet attached to the top plate of your heat press. Why did you do that? I’ve been watching your videos on heat presses and you didn’t mention that.
@@cindigiannantoni6255 Protects the platen in case I have a geezer moment and forget to put paper on top before pressing.
How do you attach the butcher paper to your press is it magnets or something
Have you ever had issues with the ink spreading over time? Seems like when I press the images they’re crisp but about a month later they start to blur slightly. I’m using oracle 561.

Within Cricut Design Space, you can create pretty much any size or shape, then save project for reuse.
What kind of vinyl is this one? Thanks for your videos
Oracle 651. Permanent outdoor vinyl.
Did you heat press the white vinyl on? I did all the steps but the vinyl didn’t stick very well
All done in one shot, using permanent outdoor vinyl. If you used HTV, it won't work as HTV is for porous materials such as fabric.
Thank you so much for the video. We tried this and it works but the colours aren't as vibrant as yours, very muted with a cloudy effect. We pressed for 190secs 3 times and no difference to the colour transfer. We have a sawgrass sub printer and printed on glass settings. Any advice in getting the picture to be vibrant in colour?

Plain water (good, pure water) also works, just not as well. Make SURE you let this dry before pressing or you will get blisters as any residual water will flash to steam.
Is that just plain white permanent vinyl? I thought you could only subliminate on glitter vinyl!
Yes. No need for glitter.
Did u ever try the easy press with the printed sub on top instead of at the bottom?
Vinyl will deform and melt when done the other way and if you move at all while pressing, the vinyl will shift on the glass. Plus, you can't see if the graphic transferred completely without taking it off the mat, which is necessary when using an Easy press since you can't accurately control the pressure. This CAN be done with an Easy Press, but it is not the best way since it requires heavy pressure for an extended period of time and there is a risk of moving while trying to put this much pressure on, resulting in ghosting of the image.
This is great. Thank You. Can you use Oracle 651 clear for this?
Yes. Just keep in mind that when using clear, the color of what-ever it is sitting on will affect the image color. I've done this on plain glass with a lit back light and it looks pretty striking.
I like this roger thanks sir
And you use regular htv vinyl?
HTV will not work. It is designed for porous materials, such as fabric. Use permeant outdoor vinyl such as Oracle 651 or 751.

I have never made any thing like this, I am interested in making some for my organization. My question is, what sort of sticker can I use or where can I order custom made stickers for this project? I have searched but am not even sure what I am looking for in ordering stickers.
These are not stickers. You will need a sublimation printer with sublimation ink, a heat press, and permanent outdoor vinyl, such as Oracle 651. For the graphics, you can either make your own or have someone design them for you.
Does it have to be Oracle 651?
No, but it does need to be permanent outdoor vinyl.
Do you have to use vinyl? Thank you for the video, so awesome!!
You cannot sublimate dye to plain glass. It does not bond. A substrate is required.

Allows positioning and eliminates air bubbles after squeegee. Plain water can also be used. Do not add any soap or you will get spots.
Great video!
I love watching your videos, I have learned a lot from watching them! Thank you for sharing you processes. I have one question, how do you package the glass cutting boards for shipping? I can't seem to find a box that will fit the 8x8 cutting boards. Any help would be really appreciated!
A combination of bubble-wrap pouch and a box with more bubble wrap. For bubble wrap and boxes, we purchase from U-Line. This may be expensive in small quantities.
@@rogersshop thank you, I saw the 9x9 boxes on there. Perfect and thank you!
Your video is very informative and organized. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Is there another product I can use instead of Rapid Tac on my glass. Will Windex work. Thanks
You can also use plain water. NO soap. Do not use Windex as it will affect the adhesive. Use of windex to clean the glass is fine, but do not use it to position the vinyl.
Awesome! what about using infusible ink. How did you do the design? You didn't show how to do the design?
Yes, infusible ink works as well on sublimation paper. I did not show how the design was done as this is a copyright protected graphic that I have purchased the rights to. The fonts and text were my design using a designer program from Dane Graphics. They have some very neat graphics, available by membership, but the subscription is NOT cheap.
Would it be easier to sublimate the vinyl before applying it ?
No. Just adding another step and sublimation direct to vinyl can have its own issues without a solid backing.
Hi Roger thanks for the tutorial my vinyl keeps coming up and not adhering g to the round .. so you have any suggestions as to what this is happening .. I used rapid tac squeegee it and let it sit for 20min pressed for 10 min to tac down the vinyl pressed for 90 min
Let dry for 30 minutes- 1 hour after squeegee. Press with vinyl at bottom, graphics facing up for 180 seconds at 385 degrees. Do not hot peel. Let cool to the touch. Wet paper surface, let set 3-4 minutes, remove paper. Works 100% of the time. No pre-press.
Brilliant tutorial. One question: can I sublimate onto the white vinyl then attach to the glass or will that ruin the adhesive?
Vinyl will deform if heat is applied without a firm backing such as the glass. Best to have it on the glass first.
So my question is the sublimation image on top of the white vinyl that was heated to the glass?
Image is on the bottom, facing up, against the vinyl with glass above it. Step by step here: ruclips.net/video/_v9yPE4MpVc/видео.html&ab_channel=Roger%27sShop
What size is your graphic?
That depends on the substrate. For a 8 x 8, the graphic is 8 x 8
Brilliant tutorial thank you!
I have been using the laminate sheet process for my cutting boards. Now all of a sudden my laminate is wrinkling. Any idea what could be causing this. It was never an issue before. Thank you..
Stick to name brand, like 3M
I love this idea man. Very cool
Thank you for this video my cutting boards came out beautifully. You were so informative and exact.
Hello and what an awesome tutorial! Do you know if image could also be transferred onto matte printable vinyl? I also have a mug press and thought about possibly sublimating on wine bottles, feel free to share your thoughts on that. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate.
Printable vinyl (print & cut) vinyl is made differently from regular permanent outdoor vinyl and the colors tend to bleed and not stay sharp when attempting to sublimate on it. I tried this once and the results were poor. Same with HTV............Not something to sublimate to. Sublimating to glass, such as a wine bottle, will require a base to receive the dye. This can be a polyester coating, clear permanent outdoor vinyl (hard to find, but they do make it), or a white vinyl base.
@@rogersshop so we just need oracle 651..put matte side down facing glass
@@sonyagregory4719 Adhesive side down, matte side up, facing you.
