Did a few rearch from Google on image transfer onto glass material.
From the research, the first trial of the Project Works begin ...
Trial on GLASS
Bought :
- Medium Gel (Liquites Gloss Gel) $12.00 for image transfer
- Gloss and Matte Mod Podge ($8 each) for finishing
Bought a pack of photo glass frame from IKEA ($7.99)
A quick clean of the glasses with Windex prior to gel application
- Photos are printed using a Laser printer on a regular copy paper. nothing fancy
- Reverse/mirror the image prior to print if you want the photo to be place at the front of the glass.
Photos are trimmed to size according to the size of the glass
final check prior to application
Spread the Liquites Gloss Gel evenly over the glass with a smooth brush
Lay down the print face down and smooth out (removing the bubbles) with fingers.
Looking good...
Do the same for the next photo...
Done - Let it dry overnight :)
Trial on Wood
Bought :
- Medium Gel (Liquites Gloss Gel) $12 for image transfer
- Gloss and Matte Mod Podge ($8 each)for finishing
Bought this flat wooden sheet from Spot Light ($4.99)
Photo is printed reversely / mirrored from a Laser Printer onto a regular copy sheet.
First application of Medium Gel (Liquites Gloss Gel) is spread evenly with a brush
- Lay down the print face down and smooth out (removing the bubbles) with fingers.
- Let it dry overnight
- Soaked it in water for a minute and gently scrub off the paper under running water till all the paper access are scrubbed off
DONE - looking awesome !!
