PREPARATION IS KEY.

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 (don’t do in a windy environment). Do not store transfer in extreme temperatures or humid conditions, which can affect adhesion.

APPLICATION

Start with a clean, dry surface. If painted, make sure it’s well cured, and if you have sanded the paint make certain there is no residual dust. All of these things will interfere with adhesion. We find with chalk based paints that a better adhesion is achieved if you seal with a clear lacquer such as Mango Table Top Finish or Zombie Finish before applying your transfer.

Carefully remove the transfer from its white backing. Carefully lower the transfer onto your intended surface, making sure that it does not touch until the placement is correct. Use small pieces of low tack tape to hold it in place.

Using the provided tool, or one of your choice, start at one end of the transfer and rub firmly to adhere the image to the surface. Do this until the entire image is transferred. If any parts aren’t transferred when you lift, simply lay it back down and rub more on that portion. After it is transferred, smooth down any bits that aren’t flatly adhered using the back of the backing sheet - not the side with black grid.

We recommend sealing with a water based (not harsh solvent based) sealer such as Mango Table Top Finishes, (waxes created for chalk type paints also work well if they don’t contain harsh solvents such as our Mango Waxes).
