coffee table subway art

This is the follow up to my post, "Antique File Cabinet Coffee Table".

I designed my subway art in Photoshop and then Staples printed it, the price for printing is minimal. This was printed on legal size paper and the design does not need flipped.  I have used the wax paper transfer method with my inkjet printer, (here) and it does work, but this is fairly large print and so much easier.

How I transferred my subway art onto the coffee table. Citrasolv is the key word here. I have tried everyway possible I think to transfer to furniture, fabric and whatever else, but this by far is the best! I had ordered the Citra solv from Amazon several months ago and decided this time I would try this method. Mainly because this was such a big piece to transfer.
* It does not require much Citra solv. The little jar is only about 1/4 full, and I didn't even use that much on the whole project. I put a lid on this little mason jar and saved the rest for the next project.
​* I measured my print to get it in the middle of the coffee table and taped the print at the top and side only.
​* Using a cotton ball, dip into the Citra solv and then wet only a small part of the print.
​* I used a brayer to make sure the print was flat on the surface.
​* Start rubbing with a paint stick, a knife, orange stick, or whatever you find comfortable in using. This print has several fonts so every little piece of the print needs rubbed onto the surface.
​* I check every once in awhile by lifting up the print to see that the print is on the surface.
* Continue this method until finished.
​* I let it cure for 24 hours and then lightly sprayed with clear varnish.​
