- Press gold foil shiny side up onto the tacky layer, rub gently, and peel back to transfer the design.

Expert Tip
Achieving that 'photo-real' finish means meticulous prep and extremely thin, even gel layers. For the foil, ensure your transfer gel is perfectly tacky – too wet and it won't stick, too dry and it won't transfer completely. Seal the foil impeccably to prevent chipping.
