Make sure to do the front and the back since we are applying two decals per mug.
To mark the mugs where the vinyl decal is going to go use a dry erase marker and draw a line down the mugs in the rack.
We have used cricut permanent vinyl on many mugs and cups.
After donning an oven mitt gently slide your mug into the press attachment and lift the press lever until it is fully closed.
