Chalk paste is for projects such as wood or chalkboards. For Canvas and especially t-shirts you would use couture ink. It gets heat set and is permanent.

Hope that helps!

No silly questions at all Amanda!

Paste is water soluble and temporary (unless you want it to be permanent) To do that, you spray it with a sealer.

For a towel, we use Couture Ink, and heat set it with an iron. For pottery or glass, you would heat set it in an oven. After doing that, it’s totally permanent. 🙂
Let me know if you have any more questions.

silly questions…if it’s water soluble and you apply it to a towel won’t it wash off?

hmmm I’m not sure how that would work…. I think I just need to make sure I fuzz the transfer better. Everyone makes it look so easy. 🙂

Thank you so much Katherine. I appreciate honesty too, that’s why I try to keep it real. This is really so easy… if you FUZZ it. 😉 Plus if it doesn’t turn out, just wipe it off and redo it.

ohhh, thank you Julie! I wish you had been here to hold it. 🙂

I’m going to do more and more videos until I feel more at ease.

It’s all so challenging to get the camera, lights and shot right. I’m not sure I can get it clamped too! hahaha

You are too hard on yourself, you do a great job on video. I wanted to put my hand into the video to hold down your chalkboard as you peeled off the transfer! Maybe clamp it down?

Great job, and especially for just a second attempt! I love your comments. Glad you left it just as it was…even with the TV on in the background. Makes me think I could do this myself. Love your honesty, Gail.

Hi Gail,
I may have the solution to your sliding around while pealing problem. When I worked with glass they make a waffle plastic work board, that had a bottom to catch the shards. But this is about the same thing it’s a waffle floresent light cover. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Plaskolite-4-ft-x-2-ft-Suspended-Light-Ceiling-Panel-1199233A/202025149. I never could find the little plastic holders for the glass, so I used the caps from old markers, or dowels to stick in a waffle and hold what I needed held.

This really looks like fun stuff to work with.
