*Cut image.  Apply 2 coats of Tranx Maxx to front of image, let dry between coats. This seals the image and makes it ready for transferring.

*Apply one coat of Tranx Maxx to front of image and surface.  (Before doing this step you can dip your paper image in water and blot dry to make it more bendable around corners and uneven  surfaces.)

 

*Immediately, while surface and image is still wet with Tranx Maxx, put image side down on to your surface.  Press gently with your fingers removing any wrinkles or bubbles, or burnish with a old credit card.  Clean excess from around image with a damp sponge.  Let dry.  Most surfaces dry within 1 hour.

 

* Wet, do not soak, back of image with water.  Let sit for 10 minutes. Wet again.  When you can see the image through the paper, it is ready to remove. 

 

 

*Peel paper from back of image (tissue decoupage paper) or rub gently with damp kitchen sponge or fingers (regular paper).  Blot excess water. Let Dry. To make image more durable, paint with one more coat of Tranx Max, this will waterproof the image, and dull it a bit. Let dry. Tranx Maxx fully cures in three days.  When fully cured, you can stain, glaze and add a gloss varnish to make your surface shine. 

Tips and Tricks with Tranx Maxx

*Paint three coats of Tranx Maxx on front of image, let dry between coats, wet back of image and remove paper.  You now have your image in a translucent medium.  You can then apply it using Tranx Maxx  as a glue. 

*On under glass projects use a damp kitchen sponge and exacto knife to clean up dried Tranx Maxx. 

*If working with a light weight paper, like Original Tissue Decoupage Papers, paper may curl with first coat application, as Tranx Maxx dries it will level out.

*Tranx Maxx works great with Original Tissue Decoupage Paper, but will work on all copy and LaserJet images.

*Tranx Maxx works best on heavier fabrics.  You can use it on heavy t-shirts. Hand wash your garments.

*Tranx Maxx fully cures in 3 days.

*Tranx Maxx when applied over metal allows the metallic shine to come through, giving your items a vintage look.
