I highly recommend watching multiple YouTube videos to learn tricks and tips from other sub-artists!!! These are guidelines only.
Using a constant temperature tumbler press:
- Temperature: 375ºF / Time: 70 seconds (45+25 seconds if rotating) /Pressure: Medium
- Preheat mug press before using
- Place transfer face down against tumbler, tape into position
- Cover with a piece of plain paper or teflon sheet.
- Slide into mug press
- Press at 375ºF for 70 seconds (no opening in press)
- if your press has a small opening press for 45 seconds then rotate 180º and press for an additional 25 seconds
- Remove from press and submerge in room temperature water.
- Transfer paper can be removed before or after placing into water.
Using a convection oven and a silicone rubber wrap:
- Temperature: 400ºF / Time: 4-6.5 minutes/Pressure: Medium
- Preheat oven – an oven thermometer is highly recommended for a precise temperature reading
- Place transfer face down against tumbler, tape into position
- If using shrink wrap – tightly cover tumbler and shrink tight with heat gun
- If using a silicone wrap – cover with a piece of plain paper or teflon sheet. the attach silicone rubber wrap
- Place tumbler on its side, taped side down, in your oven
- Heat for approximately 6 1/2 minutes
- Remove from oven and submerge in room temperature water.
- Transfer paper can be removed before or after placing into water.
Again, I highly recommend watching MANY YouTube videos before you start working with tumblers.
