If so, what paper do you use? I know you can use a teflon sheet for t-shirts, but what paper (if any) do you/must you use for mugs between the design and the wrap? Just hope I've got something lying around I can use as itching to give this a try. Many Thanks
Personally, I just use standard 80gsm paper that you would use in a printer/photocopier. Works for me.

I use normal cheap printer paper but you can use butcher paper or other stuff as well, its just to protect the silicon from getting dirty because of the bleeding.

I have watched videos on the internet about using Halogen oven and some do it without a silicon wrap and use shrink wrap instead. It looks like normal paper but don't know where to get it. I thought shrink wrap was cling film so am confused. Does anybody know what I can use?
