UV DTF on Glass, Acrylic and Steel: What Changes | SJG LIVE
One design applied to three surfaces, comparing preparation, application pressure and how each material holds a UV DTF transfer over time.
What you'll learn
Prepare each surface correctly
Avoid trapped air
Know when texture affects adhesion
Inspect every edge after peeling
Clean without residue
Remove oil, dust, and handling marks, then let the surface dry completely before positioning the transfer.
Anchor and roll
Tack one edge and lower the transfer gradually while applying even pressure to push air away from the contact line.
Burnish and peel
Press fine details and outer edges firmly, then peel slowly while watching for areas that need another pass.
Tools used
UV DTF transfers, Lint-free wipes, Isopropyl alcohol, Application squeegee, Hard-surface blanks
