This is the BEST tutorial for sublimating with laminate!! thank you so much for being specific with products time and temps that you use that is the most important! I am making business cards with 110lb card stock and I can not wait to see the results!!
I can't tell you just how much this video helped me. A few years ago I was at a closeout store (Marc's) and found 5 ROLLS about 24" X 3" diameter of laminate material for $2.99 each. These have just been sitting on my shelf gathering dust & occasionally laminating important documents. WOW, the possibilities that you have opened for me are ASTOUNDING! Thank You So Much! I can't wait to try this process! My opportunities are almost endless & I probably have enough laminate for the rest of my life!
over time have you found that the laminate will pull off something like a tile? It's a fairly smooth surface so I was curious if you've had experience over time on that.
Just started watching a few videos. Just commenting on protection papers. I laminate pressed flower bookmarks in laminating pouches using an iron now. My roll type laminator broke and looking into replacing with a T-shirt press as more versatile. But I’m surprised no one has mentioned to use parchment baking paper as a protectant. I iron on it! Thanks for all the techniques in videos. It will help my other crafting
Nice.ive experiment with many ways to try and do this but had no success.you found an awesome way to make this happen.after work today I'm going to have to give this a shot.
It won't stick. Cotton fibers will not adhere to the laminate. However, I did just watch a video that shows them sublimating the JetPro Opaque sheets with some success.
Great video and step by step instructions. Thank you! One question: I noticed that when you were first placing the laminate on the canvas, you paused and then turned the laminate over. Which side of the laminate did you choose to be touching the canvas vs facing up to be sublimated later? By the way you switched your original placement, I'm guessing there is a difference in the sides.
really appreciate this video. I'm new to this and appreciate a video you can actually follow. Easy to understand. Thank you. Let us know when you do the remake as you had commented previously
THIS IS AWESOME. I HAVE SOME''BACKSTOCK OF MISFIT'S'' OF PICTURES I PRINTED OUT FOR ''MUGS'' BUT ''AWWWWWW,PRINTED OUT TO BIG " AND DID NOT WANT TO WASTE THEM'',I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON TO KEEP THEM. THANK YOU,HAPPY NEW YEAR.. THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO ...''LIFE SAVER''. WOULD "SCOTCH THERMAL LAMINATING POUCHES" WORK?
This is great, thank you. Does the laminate adhere for a long time or is there any lifting of the laminate sheet from the substrate, especially around the edges, as time goes by?
I tried it and on my first attempt it came out great! The only minor problem I had was the indent from the tape came through because of the heat press, but you can only see it when you move the picture around. So be careful when applying the tape. Thanks for a great video!!!
Fantastic! Congrats on getting off to such a great start with your channel, Southpaw's Studio! Hydrographics have been the rage in recent years, but dye sublimation for many applications has been tried-and-true for so long. Nice demo!
I have a cutting board that I am wanting to press onto. I am wanting to use just words in the middle. Would I laminate the whole board or just the middle that is going to have the wording? Thanks
Hi, nice video, can you put that laminate in a stainless stell mug surface?. One more thing, what face of the clear laminate you use to put the sub design on it?. Thanks,
Can this clear laminate be used on a piece of picture frame glass and sublimate on it? I don't want a white background - it needs to be clear as its in a shadow box.
Enjoying your videos.....trying to figure out how to get a piece of wood white without paint to sublimate on it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Than you!
Home Depot has White painted MDF, which may work well for you. Wal-Mart has some nifty things in the craft section, which is where I found those photo frames.
COOLEST thing since sliced bread. Everyone is getting one of these for Christmas next year! GRACIAS!!
Yep, it's a nifty little trick.
This is the BEST tutorial for sublimating with laminate!! thank you so much for being specific with products time and temps that you use that is the most important! I am making business cards with 110lb card stock and I can not wait to see the results!!
Great minds thinks alike.
I'm planning the same thing and was wondering what is the thickness (mil) of laminate being used?
@@candyluv6972 it’s 3 mil. I bought the clear of the same brand.
Thank you for keeping the process simple and precise.
One of the best tutorials I have seen, thank you so much

Always glad to hear it!
I appreciate the length of the video and instruction. I am a new subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
One of the better videos, decent editing (I don't want 2 minutes and another 2 minutes of video pointed at the heat press).
This was actually my very first video.. my newer ones are MUCH more polished
I would love to see how to prep a piece of metal to be sublimated

Great tip!
Spectacular results!!! I just got a printer that I will convert when my ink comes in and can't wait to play:) Learning a lot from you!
Have fun!
Awesome video! Can you do this on fabric and/or on metal?
What side laminate goes down first do you have a shiny side and you have a dull side
Very well done video! Thank you for not beating around the bush and omitting information to reel ppl in. Subbed!
make more videos like this! best one I've seen so far!
I'm actually in the process of remaking this to be better in EVERY way.
A game changer is this, what micron is the laminate you use.
Very Nice Job. Thanks for sharing your technique. We Newbies need all the help we can get. lol
Glad it was helpful!
Nice.ive experiment with many ways to try and do this but had no success.you found an awesome way to make this happen.after work today I'm going to have to give this a shot.
Wow thats amazing iv just subcribed love it ♥️👌
I need something to do this in a glass cylinder. Any idea how to do that?
This video was so helpful learning sublimation Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for clear, concise information and demo.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve just started trying the canvas this week. Thank you for this very good info!!
Can u do this on wedding acrylic invitations?
what do you think would happen if you put the laminate on cotton fabric ? Have u tried that ?
It won't stick. Cotton fibers will not adhere to the laminate. However, I did just watch a video that shows them sublimating the JetPro Opaque sheets with some success.
Great video and step by step instructions. Thank you!

I usually try to do glossy side out
@@SouthpawsStudio 👍🏼 Thanks for the quick reply.
I just found your channel today and subscribed. I look forward to learning more from you.
Great video! You can measure the laminate to the size of the canvas - Save time!!
I appreciate your videos SO MUCH! I learn more from them then I can tell you. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Also have you ever used the same phot twice or is it best to print another photo.
I always print another for best results.
Question can u do a video on how to sublimate using laminate on Corrugated Yard Signs... need help ASAP..
Thank you hope I can do this on cotton t.shirts as well that would be awesome
really appreciate this video. I'm new to this and appreciate a video you can actually follow. Easy to understand. Thank you. Let us know when you do the remake as you had commented previously
Looks interesting, I'm sure that must can work on a mug, using a mug press.
Not only is this a great video, the title SAYS IT ALL and for that you won me over and get a subscribe and it’s a great video!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
How do you know which side to use if the lamination sheet it goes it matter?
I usually do glossy side facing outwards.
Nice project.Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I saw you use several sheets of paper before pressing the picture, can you explain what they were (underneath and on top of canvas)
Usually something like this:
Butcher Paper > Copy Paper > Substrate > Copy Paper > Butcher Paper
Thank you so much for the video! Is it possible to laminate on matte lamination? Or does this work only for the gloss lamination
THIS IS AWESOME. I HAVE SOME''BACKSTOCK OF MISFIT'S'' OF PICTURES I PRINTED OUT FOR ''MUGS'' BUT ''AWWWWWW,PRINTED OUT TO BIG " AND DID NOT WANT TO WASTE THEM'',I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON TO KEEP THEM.

This is great, thank you. Does the laminate adhere for a long time or is there any lifting of the laminate sheet from the substrate, especially around the edges, as time goes by?
Seems fine to me. I haven't had any issues with it.
Two questions: Is the picture printed in the laser printer or regular? Can I use iron since I don't have that device?
I tried it and on my first attempt it came out great! The only minor problem I had was the indent from the tape came through because of the heat press, but you can only see it when you move the picture around. So be careful when applying the tape. Thanks for a great video!!!
No problem. I'll actually be adding a newer version of the video soon!
Would it hurt it if the picture got wet, since you are sublimating on polyester film?
Is there anyways to sublimate on silicone watch bands??
i feel like it would be easier to cut if you got a rotary cutter. thanks for this
he also could use his cutting board he have before putting it on the heat press
you killed it thanks for the ideal and you now have a new sub!!!!!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
My wife brought up a good point. Why not trim the excess laminate AFTER you press the sublimation?
I was always afraid the laminate would stick to the paper
can you use both sides of the sheets and what side do you put face down on the substraight?
Smooth Sides out, rough side against substrate.
So do you think you can do a tshirt with laminate???
Have you tried dyepress polygloss? It is sublimation coating for hard substrates. Works great!
No, I haven't. I may do a review video soon on it though.
Had anyone tried this on slate? I wonder would air bubbles get trapped behind the laminate saying the surface is textured?
Incredible and perfect explanation. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out my video!
What is the purpose of the additional sheets of copy paper?
Just to protect the heat press, to be honest.
Awesome video, thank you. I have a bunch of tiles, I assume I can do the same on them?
Yes you can!
My laminate bubbled in spots. Any idea why? Thanks.
Fantastic! Congrats on getting off to such a great start with your channel, Southpaw's Studio! Hydrographics have been the rage in recent years, but dye sublimation for many applications has been tried-and-true for so long. Nice demo!
Thanks so much!
Southpaw's Studio - You’re welcome, sir! Again, so awesome to see you your channel doing so well! 👍
You’re very thorough! Thank you! I think I’m confident enough to try! ⭐️
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!
Can you do this on T shirts? I just started and didn't know about the cotton not taking sublimation. I would love to not be out in 300$ of shirts
Thanks for sharing great for Mother's Day gift
Hi. Would it be the same exact process for Wood Slices?
Personally, I prefer Polycrylic on Wood Slices. Laminate makes them a little "too" glossy..
Too Cute! Thanks for the tutorial ❤️👍🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Hi i like your video. Can i use any laminate for this or its a special laminate
Almost any laminate works fine!
Fantastic video!! Thanks a bunch for sharing your talent!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you Laminate printable vinyl ? if so how , i tried and the laminate bubbled up
Very cool, I imagine if you want a matte finish you could spray with a matte spray
There are also matte laminating pouches.
Have you tried this method on the Adhesive Magnetic Sheets?
Can you sublimate on acrylic?
can I use this technique for a phone case too?
i wanna have a glossy finish
did you put shiny side of laminate sheet up or down
Can you use this process for t-shirts?
I love those gloves!!! Been looking all over for those :)
They are definitely the best.. I love them!
i got mines from amazon
Can you use this method to infuse onto a black surface?
Do you think this would work for mugs and stainless tumblers?
It should, in theory.
Did you get around to trying this on mugs/tumblers?
Is the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Fahrenheit
So, when you say "ANYTHING"... Can this same technique be used on 100% cotton shirts? Will you please make a video on that if it's possible?
I wouldn't do it on fabric. Laminate would look and feel cheap compared to a better solution such as Poly-T Plus.
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I have a cutting board that I am wanting to press onto. I am wanting to use just words in the middle. Would I laminate the whole board or just the middle that is going to have the wording? Thanks
can you use self adhesive sheets on the canvas ???wal mart was out of the pouches !!!
Can you use any brand of lament sheets
Can you do this with dark shirts?
Technically, yes, but there are better products, such as Poly-T Plus..
You need to try color pop ink. Ive used both and color pop ink is my first choice...
I've got my colors pretty dialed on the ink I'm using. I don't see any point to changing.
@@SouthpawsStudio I understand, its always an option. Thanks for msking this video. Has helped me expand to new things.
Great idea. Beautiful results. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to try this.☀️
You're welcome!
You are the best!!! I am going to WM tonight.
Have fun!
Hi, nice video,
can you put that laminate in a stainless stell mug surface?.
One more thing, what face of the clear laminate you use to put the sub design on it?.
Thanks,
I haven't tried it with a cup. From my understanding, you can use either side.
Can this clear laminate be used on a piece of picture frame glass and sublimate on it? I don't want a white background - it needs to be clear as its in a shadow box.
yes, that should 100% work
Enjoying your videos.....trying to figure out how to get a piece of wood white without paint to sublimate on it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Than you!
Home Depot has White painted MDF, which may work well for you. Wal-Mart has some nifty things in the craft section, which is where I found those photo frames.
Could I ask please, would this application work on fabric at all?
For fabric, I would recommend DyePress products. It's faster and easier to apply with better results.
@@SouthpawsStudio Thank you so much I will see where i can find this.
what side are you using? the shiny or cloudy?
shiny
hi great idea thank you have you tried it on mugs?
I usually just pick up mugs from coastal. They're cheap enough where I don't feel this is needed.
Good idea, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
is it shinny side up or down.
Thank you! Very clear instructions and GREAT information!
hi great video, thanks for sharing. what thickness laminate are you using? does it matter what thickness is used? regards tony UK
Have you ever tried to sublimate on a vinyl or pleather spare tire cover
are all laminating pouches polyester?
To my knowledge, yes.
Excellent video, thank you. One question, is it 3mil laminating pouches?
I tried the lamination on canvas and my have a bow in them, how can I make them flat?
Will this work with a laserprint?
Can you do this on high top tennis shoes
never tried it
Would this work in shirts?
Technically, yes, but I wouldn't. I would use a product like Poly T Plus or Pro.
