   Likely the kind of thing that will sound right to your wife but be way off 
for using..

   Cut out vinyl letters.  Peel away the scrap.  Loose letters on backing.  How 
to get them to where you want them to go and keep the spacing?  Transfer paper, 
paper with moderate stick on one side.  Put it on letters, peel it and letters 
from backing, apply letters to surface, then peel transfer paper back off 
letters.  Just holds the spacing.  Moderate stick paper but I don't think it'd 
work for getting out of holes etc.  Could be something else for some other 
manner of transfer and more suitable, but this is the usual type.


   As always, just do as I do and fuse several times when printing before the 
ironing.  Peels away cleanly after ironing that way, hardly had to do any 
toothbrushing for a long time now.  I'm using JetPrint Photo, but I assume 
they'll all work about the same.  Dry that coating out more thoroughly before 
you iron and it won't stick much where there isn't toner in the first place. 
Still haven't bothered baking after printing though for a proper drying, a 
couple extra fusing passes does it well enough.
