Step 6: After the 6-8 hrs of drying, wet the surface with few drops of water and slowly rub out the paper with the circulation motion of your fingers.


Make sure you don't rub too hard on the surface, surface tends to look a little white when it dries, do not rub if this happens. Too much rubbing can remove the transferred image.


Advantage of using Transfer sheet is that its quite thin and gets quickly removed.
