DISCLAIMER:

Message from the sisters:

So here’s the deal. Our new Joie de Roses has a small 'ish' on one of its seams. Don’t worry. It is purely aesthetic and does not affect the function or performance of the transfer. In fact, you cannot detect it with the naked eye until it has been applied. Once applied, it looks like a fine gray line that accentuates about 6” of a seam on the lower left portion of the design (which tends to be at home visually with the distressed and cracked nature of this fresco-style design).

That said, we just want to be over communicatey and transparent about it so that if it is something that would bother you, you can decide <3

As ever, if you are not satisfied with any IOD purchase, we are here to help and stand by all of our products. Get in touch with your stockists if you have any concerns, or feel free to use our contact form.

IOD TRANSFERS

IOD Transfers are a little delicate, need a little extra care, but are so worth it. With a little instruction, they are easy to use and add instant style to your projects. (Make sure to check out our new White Transfers for a beautiful design on your deeper richer colors! )

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, matte 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. For best adhesion, seal your project surface with a high quality, water-based polyurethane sealer in matte before applying a transfer.

Carefully remove the transfer from its white backing. Slowly and 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. You are welcome for the free arm workout as well. If any parts aren’t transferred when you lift, simply lay it back down and rub more on that portion. After it is transferred, with a clean dry hand, smooth down any bits that aren’t flatly adhered.

We recommend sealing with a water based (or not harsh solvent based) sealer (waxes created for chalk type paints also work well if they don’t contain harsh solvents).
