Default RE: Blueprints to wood

HEY LEGGTECH,

Lay your plans face down on the wood you want to transfer the blueprint to. Then spray the back of the plans with Zip kicker until the area is moist, this may take a little bit of trial and error, and then run your iron over the wet zip kicker pushing down moderately. Once the zip kicker has evaporated / heated away, just pull your plans up and you will have a reverse image of the part transferred onto the wood you wanted. The only problem with doing this is that the new ink copiers are so good now that there is not a lot of excess ink that is transferred. In the old days, and I have been doing this for over 20 years, the ink would just transfer very easily.

I have done this on a lot of plans and just finished a "Don Smith" Convair 440, using the method I told you about. Good Luck.
