instructions...
you'll need: golden medium gel - soft, heavy or extra. I use soft.
1 photo printed on laser, color or black and white
receptor page
1 iron (even the small one or a hand tack one for photo adhesives will work)
spritze bottle of water
good working area.

on the photo, apply a coat of the acrylic medium. Let it dry thorougly and give it several good coats. I do about 5 depending on how much a coating I put on. Also, let it dry thoroughly between coats.
Next apply the medium on the recptor material. So if it's muslin you apply to the muslin. Then quickly put the the photo (acrylic facing down) onto the receptor material. So, it's acrylic to acrylic.
Using the iron, heat the back of the paper and iron it to the receptor material. I do this for 30 seconds to a minute or 2. It just kind depends on how it feels. Sometimes I even set it aside and let it dry some more.
Once done, spritz the paper so it starts to change color where you can see the water is absorbing. it should be soaked. But just absorbing. Then rub the paper off. You can do this small area by area.
Then depending on the paper it might leave a whitish color behind. It can look pretty cool. But, if you don't like it you'll just have to experiment with the paper you use.

Don't mean to link outside but here's an example of a transfer on an SB page. It's the photo above.

Hope that helps and you can follow along, but I'll be here for questions. =)
