I have too many links to be able to find it easily.

Just try it. It's the process to move a toner image to
another object like a decal. But then you have to fix
it with a laquer or varnis.

But that won't work for etching. I was thinking about
baking it in the oven.

But two days ago I found out how to get 100% good
transfers. I really don't need to waste more time to
figure out an alternative method.
