Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure Model Cleanliness: Make sure your model is clean and dry before starting the application process.
- Prepare Water: Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water.
- Soak Transfer: Place the transfer face up on the water’s surface and let it float for several minutes.
- Separate Backing Paper: The backing paper should come free from the transfer, leaving the design on a thin clear film. Use tweezers if needed to help release the backing paper.
- Transfer Placement: Use tweezers to pick up the transfer from the water and place it on the model. If the transfer curls, placing it back in water can help it uncurl.
- Adjustment and Drying: Arrange the transfer on the model within a few moments. Dab around the transfer gently with a tissue to remove excess water. Allow all transfers to dry.
- Varnish Application: Once all transfers are applied and dried, consider spraying the model with varnish to protect the transfers.
FAQ
- Q : How can I prevent the transfer from curling?
- A: Unfortunately, there is no foolproof method to prevent curling, but try getting hold of the transfer across its whole width for better results.
Applying waterslide transfers
- Ensure your model is clean and dry before starting.
- Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water.
- Use a small scissors or a craft knife to cut out the transfer. Try to trim as close to the transfer as possible – the transfers are on a clear film but some will need to fit in tight spots.
- Place the transfer face up on the surface of the water so that it floats, and leave for several minutes.
- Eventually, the backing paper should come free from the transfer and leave the design on a thin clear film. You may need to manipulate the transfer slightly with tweezers to help release the backing paper.
- Use tweezers to pick up the transfer from the water and place it on the model. The transfer can curl*, but placing the transfer back in the water can help it uncurl.
- You’ll have a few moments to arrange the transfer on the model. Once you’re happy, dab around the transfer very gently with a piece of tissue to remove excess water.
- Once all the transfers have been applied, and have dried you may wish to spray the model with a varnish to help protect the transfers.
We don’t have a great way to prevent this, but have found getting hold of the transfer across its whole width can help sometimes.
