In reply to Brittney smith. Yes you bet! The mirroring accounts for the way HTV cuts regardless of what you apply it to :)

Do I still need to mirror my image when applying HTV to wood? I want to use a wooden crate and I’m going to stain it. What do I need to apply to the wood before the HTV to ensure a smooth application? Also I have never used a sealant before so which is best for making this last a long time? Thank you

In reply to Colleen Pastoor. I have a lot of experience with my Cricut and different vinyls. One problem I’m running into is I stained my wood let it dry for about a week and my iron on isn’t ironing on until about 5 mins or so and still some parts are not ironing on. I went to this because I would make a stencil for painting and my stencil wouldn’t stick or my paint would bleed underneath. Help!! THanks!

Hi
Any tips for getting rid of the faint outlines of the clear backing that appear around each part of my design. It’s very faint but I can notice it .

In reply to Colleen Pastoor. I'm making a stove top cover. I want to use the iron on. Do I need to seal it after so it withstands cleaning? If so, with what? Thanks!

In reply to Anne. Hi Anne! You could apply it directly on the wood. The settings of your easy press depend on the type of vinyl you're using. Cricut has a temperature settings chart on their website that I use!

Loved your tutorial! Answered several of my issues! I have 3 memory boxes I would like to do for my grandchildren. Much prefer HTV as I find it so easy to cut, weed and apply. My question is, the boxes are untreated/unpainted, could I apply direct onto them? I have the Cricut mini iron, not sure which setting I’d use on it?

In reply to Colleen Pastoor. Do you varathane to seal after the heat transfer is applied?

In reply to Ashley Hill. I've used both the stain and poly in one and just regular old oil based stain with a sealer on top. Did you seal it?

In reply to Cortni. Hi there! What types of stain do you use? I have had a few issues with discoloration around my letter as well as the letters smudging. Is it the oil based stain? Too much heat? Sos!
