    Silicone sheet

    Hi everyone, I am still having problems sublimating glass clocks,

    I am at present cracking 1/3 of my blanks.

    I am going to try to ensure that when I press the clock is in the middle of my platen.

    I am printing using a old Adkins swing away clock face down, teflon sheet top and bottom.

    Been suggested by a man at Longforte to use silicon sheet, where is the best place to get them and is it the same that people use for baking or is it a special one for dye sub?.

    We print them on an Adkins swing away with teflon sheets too, using quite a lot of pressure but haven't had a cracking issue *touch wood*.

    We use the Merlin Transfers blanks though, not the Longforte ones. May be worth you giving them a try?

    I know BMS sell the thicker silicon mats.

    Is the rubber mat on the base platen still nice and even and in good nick?

    Not sure I will check tomorrow, can you get spares if it isn't, I have noticed that unless I put the clock central on the platen it sits at an angle. but didn't notice that until I ran out of blanks.
