Pointers for Sublimating Glass

When sublimating glass frames, coasters, crystals, and cutting boards, you do not want to mirror the image. The backs of these items are polymer white-coated, and the images transfers to the back at 400 F for 3 to 5 minutes (heat presses vary, so check with the vendor for recommended time). When making these items, do the same as tile transfer face up on the heat press, white polymer-coated side on top, then press at the allotted time. Remember: these items are extremely hot when complete; Ove Glove or heat gloves are recommended.
