Blue Nest Blooms Decor Transfer

Decor Transfers can easily and effectively add instant beauty to nearly any surface—wood, ceramic, paper, glass, metal, leather, canvas, and plastic. Decor Transfers come cut into pieces for easy alignment and the ability to use these on a variety of surfaces and furniture pieces, even those with irregular shapes and sizes.

Redesign with Prima Transfer Tool or applicator stick. You will also need a suitable water-based sealer or clear wax.

Wax

If your surface has wax on it, the transfer may not adhere. You will need to remove wax with mineral spirits or similar products prior to applying the transfer.

However, if the wax has cured for more than 30 days and is perfectly clean and dry, then you can apply the transfer over the cured wax.

Painted & Stained Surfaces

If you are applying the transfer to a newly painted or stained surface, it must be fully dry before you apply the transfer. To be safe, we recommend waiting 12-24 hours after you paint or stain before you apply a transfer.

Proper prep work before painting is required or the transfer may pull your paint up. We recommend scuff sanding, and priming if necessary, before painting and transferring for optimal adhesion.

Be sure to remove any dust or sanding dust from your project prior to applying your transfer. Any dust on the surface will make it difficult for your transfer to apply smoothly

Be sure Decor Transfers are not being applied onto peeled paint, chips or old varnish that can be easily scratched off.

Glass & Mirror

When applying to glass or mirrors, do not use any chemicals or harsh cleaners as this may affect the application process of the transfer.

Shiny Surfaces

If the surface is too slick, the transfer may pull up from the surface or not transfer onto the surface properly. We recommend lightly scuff-sanding, when possible, to ensure the transfer has something to adhere to.

• Do not apply a transfer in a windy or breezy area
• Transfers work best at room temperature.
• Transfers can be cut into smaller sections for easier application.
• Take care when unrolling the transfer sheets as they may roll up, separate from the backing paper, and/or stick to itself.
• If the transfer sticks to itself, that portion will not be salvageable. If you are cautious, you can avoid this issue.
• Rolling the sheets in the opposite direction for a moment will help the transfer to lay flat.
• Avoid touching the sticky side of the clear acetate sheet
  

Once you have applied the transfer, follow these tips to seal and protect your transfer:

• Certain topcoats should not be used over transfers as they may harden and/or damage the transfer
• The safest products to use to protect your transfer are a furniture wax or water-based polyurethane. Both Blake & Taylor Wax and Clear Top Coat are suitable
• If choosing to seal with wax, apply wax after applying the transfer, not before.
