Poly<br>Gloss<br>is a 2-part, high-gloss, water-based, sublimation coating<br>for hard surfaces<br>YouTube How-to Video:<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjHUwtIgQkA<br>This 16 oz. bottle will coat approximately 65 square feet<br>Full instructions are available on the Dyepress website<br>Here's the link to the how-to video for using PolyGloss with white paint on wood: https://youtu.be/de7JuEyIII0<br>Poly<br>Gloss<br>will provide a high-gloss (wet-look), sublimatable coating for the following surfaces<br>:<br>Ceramic Mugs & Tile<br>Metal - Stainless Steel Mugs, Aluminum Signs, License Plates, Zippo Lighters, Clipboards, Dog Tags, Key chains, Nameplates, Aluminum Water Bottles, Fridge Magnets, Christmas Ornaments<br>Polished Marble & Stone<br>Hardboard (aka Masonite, Thrifty White Board) Available at Home Depot in 4' X 8' sheets with "white-board" finish. Home Depot will cut down the large sheet into more manageable pieces free of charge. Smaller pieces can then be cut with a standard jigsaw.<br>Glass<br>Wood [Hardwood is the best choice (i.e. birch). Avoid sappy wood like pine. The sticky sap will rise up to the surface when you heat the wood.]<br>*<br>If you are sublimating skis, snow boards, skateboards, surf boards, etc., you may want to use<br>PolyNatural<br>(instead of PolyGloss) to embed the image into the wood and then apply a heavy-duty epoxy over the image to create a bold image that will not be exposed to the elements.<br>Poly<br>Gloss<br>is a 2-part, polyester resin that can be applied with common household tools. It cleans up easy with water and does not emit toxic fumes.<br>The catalyst is added at a ratio of 1 ml for every ounce of PolyGloss. The PolyGloss mixture has a potlife of 18 hours. Unlike most 2-part resins, the mixture can be re-catalyzed after the potlife has expired by adding additional catalyst at the same 1 ml per ounce ratio. Catalyst and measuring syringe are included in package.<br>Directions:<br>Step 1:<br>Add 1 ml of catalyst per ounce of PolyGloss. Stir thoroughly. Mixture has an 18-hour pot-life.<br>Step 2:<br>Clean surface with water. Clean metal with a solvent like Xylol to remove manufacturing grease.<br>Step 3:<br>Application<br>Brush application:<br>Apply<br>one thin<br>coat of PolyGloss<br>mixture (if the Poly is too thick, your paper will stick and your image will look "mushy"). If you need to add a 2nd coat, cure each layer of coating to be sure the coating is not too soft. We don't recommend foam brushes, as they introduce more bubbles.<br>Gravity-feed sprayer:<br>Mixture can be thinned with 10% water for use with gravity-feed sprayer. Set air compressor for between 25 and 35 PSI. Apply enough PolyGloss mixture to allow the coating to flow together smoothly. The coating will look dull and textured if you do not apply enough coating. Clean sprayer and brush with water (do not use soaps or solvents).<br>WARNING: Wear face mask & eye protection if using a sprayer<br>Step 4:<br>Once<br>dry (2 to 3 hours), cure substrate in oven at 340F for 22 minutes (if coating burns, turn temp down 10 degrees) or on heat press with light pressure<br>at 340F<br>for 15 minutes (use parchment paper or silicone pad to protect finish). Cure wood in oven at 340F for 15 minutes or 10 minutes on the press with parchment paper or silicone pad for protection using light pressure. Cure metal in oven at 320F for 10 minutes or on press for 3 minutes with silicone pad. If coating bubbles reduce temp by 10 degrees.<br>Step 5:<br>Sublimation times will vary by substrate and method. Whenever possible, press substrates face-down over foam (Vapor) or felt (Nomex) pad to get full contact with paper.<br>Here are a few examples: Press 4" ceramic tiles face-up with silicone pad for 4 minutes or face-down over foam/felt pad at 400F for 10 minutes. Press wood face-up with silicone pad over paper for 3 minutes at 375F with medium pressure. Press metal face-down for 45 seconds at 360F (turn temperature down if coating begins to bubble).<br>Instructions for coating the backside of glass:<br>1. Apply 2  coats of PolyGloss with catalyst to the back of the glass (dry between coats).<br>2. Once d
