4. Secure transfer to substrate using Adhesive Spray.
5. Place substrate face up, with attached transfer face down, on top of protective paper on bottom table.

Application notes: Be sure to hang the plastic clip and zipper pull off of the edge of the press. They must not come into contact with the heated platen.
