The next transfer solution . . .
I kept on paining my brains about transferring design onto metal. In this 21st century it should be possible to do this easy and cheap. Well . . . The next idea I came up with after a good nights sleep.
I sanded a piece of metal and sprayed it with a thin layer of contact glue, ordinary household contact glue. Then I printed a design on parchment paper and pressed it onto/into the drying glue and here is was; my perfect transfer! The complete ink was transferred to the metal, nothing left on the parchment paper in one go! The smooth parchment paper does not stick to the glue. :banana:
Is there a catch? Of course, there is a catch. The clue has to dry and that can take forever if your waiting for it. This type of clue takes 24 hours to dry.
Here are the ingredients of my new recipe:
- Glue: “Bison Lijmspray†This is a contact spray glue that you normally need to be apply to both area’s that should be attached to each other. For sure this will be available or there will be a substitute in your area for this type of glue.
- Parchment paper of Reynolds and a laser printer with the heating on normally.
The pictures show my first attempt and the print I used for the transfer. I have put a cent in front of the transfer for reference and price. :big grin:
Has anyone tried this before?
