Question 1

Is this what I should use to transfer a photo to cloth?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you laser print your photo onto the shiny side of the a label’s backing paper (you have to peel off and discard/use elsewhere the actual label) you can just just peel it off after drying instead of the water and rub method!

Question 2

Description states, "Usually ships within 2 to 4 months". I'm hoping that is an error because I was just about to order this.

Accepted Answer

It depends on seller. If you want to order this with current seller which lead time to ships is 2-4 month, try to contact and confirm with them. It might be an error like you said. Or you might try to order this with another seller with less lead time to ship. The 99 Give Store usually ships this item within 3-4 business days.

Question 3

I used this to create textures for my painting and it just shrank and flattened. I thought this was suppose to give texture and high peaks. How come?

Accepted Answer

Firstly, the product will flatten out on a flat surface as it dries - this is an unavoidable effect of gravity. "High peaks" must be carefully sculpted and then reshaped while drying - consider drying your piece upside down. Let gravity do its work. Secondly, this product is designed to be used with other Liquitex acrylic paints - if you're mixing it with another type of paint, an unfavorable chemical reaction may be affecting your desired result. The same holds true if you are applying it over a painted surface which has dried. Third, you could consider adding a stiffening agent, such as quick setting acrylic adhesive, to your mixture. This will force the gel to "set up" quickly and stiffen. Experiment with a little bit of material first.

Question 4

After I transfer a photo, can I use this on top as a finish or is it just for the transfer process?

Accepted Answer

You use it as a top coat, it dries clear and works as a seal
