Dry Transfers
Dry Transfers/Rubdowns/Dry Rubs - people use different terms for these useful little decals. Much like the more famous Letraset®, these bespoke transfers do not need water to apply them. All you do is apply a little pressure using either a soft pencil or if you want a more professional look you could use a Burnisher.
