Hi, has anyone experienced paper sticking to the surfaces after pressing the aluminium type travel mugs? Not done these before and got white ones from MDP when I was buying some other stuff (I also using the MDP press) they look fairly generic as in same as ones at Xpress. the info I've found is 180/180 but the paper was stuck fast afterwards and I literally had to wash it off and scrub it, eventually resorted to baby oil (no inappropiate jokes there please lol!) Okay so I maybe pressed it a bit tight as I put it in after an Xpress mug so it was squeezed but it's like the paper had burned itself to the surface. At £5 a pop if someone's had this and found the solution I'd really appreciate it rather than trial and erroring my way though the 15 I bought to try out! Thanks guys and Merry Christmas!

Update okay so read the MDP page! That says 60 seconds, so naturally I tried 80 seconds first and dunked which I usually do for ceramic checks for cracks and stops the process. So it still stuck at 80. then I did next one at 60 seconds and removed paper dry - worked perfectly and THEN I dunked. All good

Glad you got there. We do 175c for 40s if that helps.

Thanks, I guess xpress ones might be different as their time is much longer. It’s never an exact science you find your sweet spot. The results were fine at 60 secs 180 though on these with an mdp press.

I think I had this issue originally too, might have even posted the problem?
I use 180 for 40 seconds using the mdp press on travel mugs and water bottles without any issues.

Not sure if I should but I do dunk everything solid after pressing. (Not coasters or T-shirts though)
Mugs, bottles, keyrings.
