Turn any hard surface into a dye sub surface with this easy DIY spray-and-bake system!
Subli Glaze™ White Translucent is designed for clear materials like acrylic and glass. It creates a translucent white background for sublimation graphics. This makes for a good background but still allows some light to pass through. This product comes in 400 mL aerosol cans with a green cap.
Using Subli Glaze™ White Translucent requires multiple steps and additional products. Subli Glaze™ Adhesion Promoter and Subli Glaze™ Clear are required. Everything is applied to the back of the substrate. When complete, you will look through the glass or acrylic and see the sublimated graphic on the other side.
Three products are layered on the back in this order: Adhesion Promoter, Clear, and then Translucent White. Believe it or not, sublimation ink transfers through the Translucent White layer onto the Clear layer.
