Hi guys. Just joined and fairly new to the dyesub game.
I've had some success with mugs, but money boxes are proving tricky. I tried pressing one at 180 degrees/180 secs/medium pressure and after about 20 secs I hear a crack and discovered hairline cracks in the glaze leading from the slot to the top edge of the money box.
Ok. So I then pre-heated a money box to around 100 degrees, applied the transfer and pressed again. No cracking this time.
What I'm wondering is: Is it possible to affix the transfer first, pre-heat to 100 degrees, then press at 180 degrees for 3 minutes? Would the print start sublimating at 100 degrees or would it not matter?
Pleased to have found this wonderful forum and hope in future to be able to add my own tips.
