Keep the transfer on its protective backing until ready to apply, avoid letting the adhesive side touch anything before placement, and secure your chosen piece with low-tack tape before rubbing. Once transferred, burnish the design with a clean, dry cloth to make sure all edges are fully adhered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3205\" data-end=\"3552\"\u003ePainted surfaces should be fully dry and stable before transfer application. On many painted surfaces, a compatible water-based sealer before applying the transfer can help improve adhesion. After application, seal your finished project with a quality water-based topcoat. Avoid strong solvent-based sealers, which can distort or damage transfers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3554\" data-end=\"3889\"\u003eIOD \u003cstrong data-start=\"3558\" data-end=\"3582\"\u003eA Cotswold Christmas\u003c\/strong\u003e Transfer is a beautiful choice for makers who love English farmhouse décor, Cotswold village scenes, painterly Christmas artwork, winter gallery walls, and nostalgic countryside holiday styling.
