Hi

I've never done the dunking thing before with mugs.

Now I've switched to a press from the mug oven I thought I start doing it as it seems the generally recommended method.

Is it better to peel the paper then dunk or dunk then peel?

Thanks

Mark

Works both ways but I find it less messy peeling first, just watch your finger tips!

Thanks, that's what I've been doing.
Thought dunking then peeling may stop the subli process a bit quicker is all.

I'm pretty adept at avoiding the burnt finger syndrome :)

I dunk then peel as it cools the mug off enough to get the paper off without burning my fingers.
