This is the preferred system for application. It involves four simple steps and yields
excellent results with minimal mess.

 

TRIM
Cut transfers from the sheet to simplify handling and eliminate the risk of inadvertently transferring an adjacent object. Cut with a hobby knife rather than a scissor.

 

TRANSFER
Position the transfer and use a small piece of artists tape to hold the backing film in place. Start at one end and work across. Do not use excess pressure and do not allow the backing to move around. Use only enough pressure to get the transfer onto the model.

 

SMOOTH
Use a cotton swab and the backing paper to smooth out any large wrinkles. Prick any bubbles with a needle. Do not allow the backing paper to move around on the surface of the transfer. Use a piece of foam rubber to push the transfer into recesses.

 

BURNISH
Lay the backing paper over the transfer and burnish to set the adhesive. Burnishing can be done with an ice-cream stick or one of the commercial burnishers available at art supply stores.

IMPORTANT NOTES: A mist coat of lacquer can be applied if desired, but a heavy, wet coat of lacquer can cause certain colors to bleed.

Any acrylic clear can be used without fear of color bleed. It is only wet coats of solvent based clears that will cause problems.
