Troubleshooting
Foil not transferring properly
Ensure you are applying the foil to a sticky surface. Increase pressure when applying, and make sure the correct side of the foil (dull side) is facing the adhesive.
Color appears patchy or incomplete
Make sure the adhesive surface is even and smooth. Use a fresh adhesive if necessary and ensure you press firmly and evenly during application.
Foil tears or wrinkles easily
Handle the foil gently and store it flat. Try applying smaller sections at a time to minimize tearing.
