    sublimating tiles

    hi trying to sublimate tiles which i got from b&q white tiles 6x6 works out at 10p each so thought i would give it a go,so far no success got the substance from coralgraph i brush it on, is there a better way? thought about a small roller may try that next ,i put them in an oven for 10 minutes then let them dry and do the same again with another coat at gas mark 6, i heat press at 200 degrees for 8 minutes problem is the tile is coming out blotchy is it the cheap tiles or have i missed something ? i also do the mugs in the oven which turn out ok, but they were already sublimated any comments would be appreciated ....

    Try the DIGICOAT spray stuff and not corals liquid stuff. Much better results, although still not perfect in my opinion.

    I have used the liquid spray for something completely different and purchased a cheap sprayer from B&Q. Works a treat but as mentioned, the quality of the coating is not great.

    That worked fine for me, though I did also work with some contractors, so maybe they did something in addition.
