Distressed Heat Transfer Foil Method
1) First, apply your adhesive (or adhesive substitute) as you would when applying any Heat Transfer Foil.
2) Take your Heat Transfer foil and crumple it. This will cause some of the foil to break off and crack.
3) Apply the distressed foil over the adhesive using the same instructions as already discussed above.
4) Always peel the foil COLD! Once again, the colder it is when you peel it, the better the results will be. It helps to rub the foil on a cold surface to help disperse the heat. Once you peel the foil, you will notice that the crumpling has caused the foil to produce a cracked, distressed look. You can certainly stop here if you wish to not apply another foil and simply have a one-colored distressed look. However, there are now cracks in the foil, creating openings for additional foil to adhere to the adhesive.
5) Place another sheet of Heat Transfer Foil over the already-applied distressed foil (but don’t crumple this foil). Apply it using the same recommended application instructions.
6) Once you apply the second layer of foil and peel it COLD, you will notice that the foil adheres to the open adhesive that was created due to the cracks in the first distressed-foil layer. As a result, you end up with a 2-tone Heat Transfer Foil design!
