Get Ready for Your Transfer!
Prep Your Surface:
Start with a clean, dry, and matte surface. If it's painted, ensure the paint is completely cured and any sanding dust is removed. These will affect how well the transfer sticks. For the best results, seal your project with a high-quality, water-based matte polyurethane sealer before applying the transfer.
Position the Transfer:
Carefully peel the transfer away from its white backing. Slowly lower it onto your chosen surface, making sure it doesn't touch until you're happy with the placement. Use small pieces of low-tack tape to hold it in place.
Rub and Transfer:
Grab the provided tool (or one you prefer) and start at one end of the transfer. Rub firmly to adhere the image to the surface, continuing until the entire design is transferred. (This might feel like a bit of a workout!) If any areas don't transfer when you lift the tool, simply lay the transfer back down and rub those sections again. Once everything is transferred, use a clean, dry hand to smooth down any edges that aren't lying flat.
Seal It Up (Optional):
To protect your transferred image, we recommend sealing it with a water-based sealer or a non-harsh solvent-based sealer. There are ones that specifically work with metallics to keep the shine bright
