Dicas de Artesanato - Transferência de Imagem no Vidro

This class I'm going to teach you the details about transfering images on glass This is technique many people have difficulty to do But is just to follow some steps and you'll get it First clean the glass very well, eliminating any fat or glue residue. Choose the picture you want to transfer The paper is very important, because it will dismantle with water while is transfering the picture So it's not supposed to be resistent and is important to not have varnish There's a lot of transfer papers

to sell in the craft stores But you may also print your own picture, ok? To do it you need a laser printer or go to a printer studio. The paper may be that most common or a low gramature couche paper. It means very thin. Pay attention on the image color you are transfering! It can't be to much dark or to much light. Because when transfering images you may lost 10% of the color sharpness. The black could be a little grey and beige could even disappear. Another thing: When you transfer image, you

flip the image So if there's anything written it will be mirrored Don't forget it! First step is to isolate the area with masking tape, making a kind of label, to apply with brush and roll the white paint. Is always needful a white background to do transfering. Look, the white on the picture is just the paper, so it doesn't exist as color to transfer. Understand? Dont use beige, red or gold as bakcground. Always white, and is better to do 3 layers, very smooth. That's why I use the roll after to

spread with brush! Remove the masking tape and bake it on my kitchen oven. The color white ir delicate to bake, because it can turn yellow if the temperature is wrong. So keep the eyes on your oven, wich may be electric or gas. The best, is an average temperature. It means turning your bottom for middle between 120ºC to 150ºC. Don't do this with hight temperatures, ok? Many people asks me what is an average temperature. When I say that I mean right in the midd le, not hight and not low, Each oven

is different, you must to find out what works better for you. I left my glass about 15 min baking and it gets great! Before we needed to use primer to bake white pieces to transfer images. But now I can work only with the Glass Paint Daiara (Tinta para Vidro, Plástico e Metal Daiara), to bake and transfering images. Believe me! This paint is magical! Very satin, white and resistant. To transfer I use Base Print Daiara. Applying the first layer on t he surface, dry it and apply another one to be

sure. And after applying on the picture... Oh, I put a piece of paper towel here, is easier! And then, aplying on glass, while the Base Print still wet. Now is just to smooth, smooth... until you feel the paper has completly adhered. You may dry it with a blower or let it naturaly dry a couple of hours before removing the paper. Using a sponge and water to rait paper.. wait a little until the paper absorbs water softly rubbing fingers t o remove the paper, from inside to outside. Never do this

from outside to inside. Repeat this process three times After dried if the image gets a little whitish, is because the paper has not been removed completely! So repeat one more time this process! Finishing applying two or three layers of Base Print Daiara. Drying between each one! Did you understand? I know there are so many details, But that's how it is The first time you may do it wrong, but if it happen is just to wash an
