*General transfer tips. Do not store IOD Décor Transfer in extreme temperatures or humid conditions, which can affect adhesion. Keep your transfer with its backing sheet until you are ready to apply. Keep free of dust or debris, which will interfere with adhesion. Do not allow the adhesive side of transfer to touch anything prior to application. When handling the transfer, avoid letting the adhesive side touch itself.

The quick list of tips (read on if you have more questions):

  1. DO allow paint & sealer to completely dry before applying transfer – Suggested: 24-48 hours minimum.
  2. Do NOT apply transfer on top of any wax.
  3. DO apply a liquid sealer, as a base, to a piece that has been painted without a built-in topcoat, such as chalk-paint, prior to transfer application.
  4. After applying transfer, DO a thorough burnishing with the clear top sheet that the transfer was removed from. Rub in a circular motion with increasing pressure.
  5. DO seal the applied transfer with a liquid sealer, preferably the same sealer as in step 3.
