Yes, the 1Gel can be used as a topcoat to protect your finish. It’s really a very versatile product!

I noticed you made the comment that it is a lot easier, so you can do the gel instead of wax for protection? Thank you

I like your paper-towel method – I’ll have to try it. Thanks for the great step-by-step! I’m just learning to use the 1Gel for transfers and it is such a great top-coat…

Christi,

This image doesn’t resemble a sticker, it looks more like it was painted on. The key is working on each and every layer of that thin white paper. Who knew there could be so many layers?

good luck!

I have tried image transfers a few times, but I find that they always end up looking almost like a sticker…there is an edge and a different consistency over the transfer. I guess what I am trying to say is that it isn’t smooth and when I take off more…I end up taking off the image. I wish I could get this!

I’m laughing at your English/French reasoning… I have the same issue and in fact made a sign that says ‘FLOWERS’ on years ago…because I didn’t want it to say ‘fleurs’ … I don’t speak French! LOL!
This table looks great… you make it looks so easy too.
I’ve done some transfers similar to this…without the 1Gel… It wasn’t as easy, if I recall. I should probably try this!

I still use mine made of PVC pipes and a large drop cloth to cover box. Yours looks much better.
