Transfer Solution
Transfer solution is a liquid or gel applied to the skin before placing the stencil, to help the design transfer. The composition varies from product to product, as do the usage instructions given by the manufacturer.
Why it matters: It can affect how much of the design transfers and how long it stays visible. The manufacturer's instructions and warnings should always be read.
