Make sure the transfer magic is well shaken (mixed).
Apply the solution with a fresh Q-tip.
Do not apply too thickly - a relatively thin application works the best.
Good luck.

I am doing all of that

Try giving the nickle silver surface some "tooth" by sanding it
with 600 grit and then cleaning it.

that worked, next time I will not buff out the surface till after I cut the backbone lines, then go back and recut the lines after polishing

This system I researched a little on line and it looks as tho the design of this product is primarily for fabric. Is this the stuff your using please? paps

did you look up Tom White's Transfer Magic, the web site bills it for engraver's transfers.
