Wanting to know how to sublimate on wood? Me too! Here is what worked for me using Minwax Polycrylic on natural and painted wood!
I picked up a few small pieces of wood to practice on from Michael's Dollar area and one piece from Dollar Tree.
You always want to make sure your wood is nice and smooth. Give it a light sanding to be sure. If you are wanting to sublimate on the natural wood, go ahead and add 2-3 light to medium coats of polycrylic, letting each layer dry completely between each. Once all it is completely dry, give it a very light sanding to make sure it has a nice even surface. Choose the image you want, get it printed, taped and ready. Then, you are able to press! I used the settings of 380 degree F for 60 secs. Let cool before removing the paper.
For painted, you will first paint your wood. I tried Rustoleum High Heat spray paint in white and basic acrylic paint! Both worked great! Let that dry completely and then follow the same steps as above!
If you are interested in the thermal laminate pouches, to try for yourself, you can find them here.
