It gets gummy at first, then finally releases the nameplate and just wipes off. It probably transfers most easily to a scale material that will be finished w/ CA, being embedded in successive layers of glue. When I asked a while back, I was trying to xfer to a set of Ebony scales that would be finished in Tung oil. If I recall correctly, Glen said it wouldn't work well w/out the CA finish.
