Thank you so much.
Regular transfer tape is too sticky to move a contact paper decoration.
I do want to mention transfer paper really quick.
When fully dry you simply place the adhesive side of the transfer directly onto the clean glass surface you wish to decorate.
As you peel the vinyl should come off the backing with the transfer tape.
When the transfer has dried you will notice small patches of white paper fibers still clinging on to the ink in some spots.
Just re apply water rub them away and allow to dry.
Great for decals signs wall words and more.
