Transfer Printing on Mylar Using PVA or White Glue Presented by: Phyllis King and Teresa Foster 2015 NAEA National Convention – New Orleans

Step 1: Complete an image on a Mylar sheet with mixed-media mark-making tools listed in the handout. Allow the image to dry.

Step 2: Tape Mylar sheet to smooth illustration or matte board. Step 3: Draw a line of glue across the smooth board at the top next to the blue painter’s tape.

Step 4: Fold the Mylar sheet over the board. Step 5: Squeegee the glue across the image. One pass pulling the glue down is best. One tight pass with the squeegee helps to avoid wet pockets of glue. Clean excess glue off of the end of the board.

Step 6: When the glue is dry, pull up the Mylar sheet. You can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process.
