Those are the only two ways I apply it. Foam brushes or my finger. The finger is just to make sure you have 100% 'wet' coverage (not dry or tacky) and there are not hard bits from the lid of the container. You may want to watch my most recent videos on using Mod Podge after spray protecting the transfer paper. Then you can be a little more liberal with the glue (Mod Podge) and use the foam brush (or whatever you like) to apply it.

Yes

You're probably right. Now here's the thing. If you glue paper that has been printed on to something like wood, let it dry, how can you possibly pull it off? Anything actually 'glued' is glued. So if she is pulling parts of the image off with the paper, then those parts pulled were never glued to begin with. It's really that simple. You say you have the same problem using an inkjet printer on...what...regular printer paper? And you are able to pull parts of the image off? How is that possible, if you glued it? Glued paper to wood, when dried, is stuck on the wood. You can't pull it off. It's stuck. It's glued. Only if parts of it were not actually glued would you be able to pull off. As to using an inkjet printer, your only option as far as I know is using regular paper and doing the 'wet and rub' method. It's labor intensive, messy, and if you are not careful you'll rub off some parts of your image. That's a different method than what we are doing in these videos. This paper (Quick Transfer Paper) is meant for easy peeling as demonstrated. You must use a Laser Printer.

The paper is currently available.
