Directions for using ITS PAPER with ITS onto metal, unglazed tile or polymer clay:

1. Cut out a pre-printed image to fit your surface (Laser copied images-toner based).
The matte side of the paper is preferable for printing, although not critical. Hints:
Use images with a high contrast and strong lines. It helps to test images on a
surface such as a bottle cap prior to transferring to your final piece.

2. Brush an even coat of ITS on the surface of the metal, or other material (such as
baked polymer clay). Don’t brush the layer too thin, it should be similar to a
decoupage application. (If using metal that is highly polished then prepare the
surface prior to working by sanding with 600 grit paper to add a “tooth” to the
surface.

3. Press the image face down (printed side down) onto the wet ITS. Press the image
down firmly to make sure it is in full contact with the surface. Wipe away excess
ITS around the edges. (It’s important not to get the solution on the back of the
paper as makes the paper harder to remove later).

4. Let the piece air dry overnight or speed the process by using a hair dryer for a few
minutes. Bake the piece in an oven at 325° F for metal or tile (275° F for polymer
clay) for 30 minutes to heat set.

5. After baking the piece soak the paper backing off in water for a minute or two.
Use your fingernails or a 3M Scotch Brite No Scratch Scrub Sponge to remove
the paper from the image. Finish by drying and buffing with a cloth to remove
any remaining fibers; an old t-shirt, dish towel-(the flour sack type), or the knee of
your denim jeans work well to buff the surface. 600 grit wet/dry sanding paper
can also be used under running water to remove any remaining fibers around the
edges of the image. Whisk the sand paper across gently, don’t scrub!

6. To refine the surface and bring up the color and sheen of the transfer, coat with a
layer of Renaissance Wax using a soft cloth, or use varnish. ITS works as a sealer
as well, simply brush on a layer of the solution and let it air dry (no heat setting
required when used as a sealer).
