    3 жыл бұрын

    Sorry to hear this, that is so frustrating happens to me more times than none. I think it's because your wood needs to be sanded better. I have never heard of stain being pulled up, I have had paint come off. Either way i would say it's because your surface is not smooth enough or your transfer tape is too sticky. Hope this helps

I would suggest getting the maker because its the newest machine but it's the most expensive. I had the explore which was great, but one of the clamps broke on me so I upgraded to the maker.
