Here's a handy device for those who do mugs in an oven and want to speed up the process.

Doesn't seem to actually speed up the wrapping process compared to just doing it by hand though

I guess you get quicker but then doing it manually you get quicker! lol.

Not sure its worth £2000. Nice concept tho - would help with consistency would be the only plus point for me.

For £2,000 I'd make a curved plaster of paris mould and use that. All you need is a curved surface that you can place the transfer in with dead centre in the middle of the the curve and then put the mug in with the handle pointing directly up.
If you're a bit of a carver you could probably cut out the required curve from a foam block.
Thinking about it I might buy a bag of plaster when I have a bit of time and give it a try - or maybe some fibreglass?

more like 2k to produce it that far, it looks like something made in a shed! but if it works I can see the benefit of it, but for 2k I would want 100 wraps and clamps with it.

Does anyone know the capacity of this?
I've been looking into this but I'm concerned it might not be any faster than doing it by hand
