Hi all I'm looking to do some mirror compacts that uses the sublimation disc but I want to beef them up a bit by putting an acrylic dome on top anyone know if the sublimation colours might migrate into the dome?
Im using the liquid doming stuff not the pre-made ones
cheers

Should be okay but might want to do a basic test.

You can actually sublimate directly onto doming material as it is polymer based. They make iPhone stick ons for the branding of a phone back. Did try various other domed blanks but needed more work on temps etc.

Should not be a problem, I've domed a lot of subli metal with great results. It can darken the colours slightly.
