Sublimation on Wood: What is the best method?

I have been wanting to try sublimation on wood for some time. I thought I would experiment with different ways to achieve this effect and see which works best. This video is sponsored by Hiipoo, however, all projects and opinions are my own. Should you use laminating sheets on wood? Will sublimation work on wood surfaces with no coating at all? What about polycrylic? Will it work for wood sublimation? I am answering all of that and more! I am even experimenting with real wood, MDF, and even chipboard to see which will work best for your projects. So, be sure to watch and see which is my favorite method for adding dye sublimation to wood surfaces.
