Well while transferring the picture using the paint thinner "Doesn't the paint thinner remove the paint you just added in the process?" & Can I use a wood stain in place of / or in conjuction with the wax?

I don't think Pouch is available in the US but could be wrong.

We couldn't find it and had to get regular paint thinner. We went to Staples and they printed the image out on one big sheet of paper for us and said it was a laser printer. We rubbed and rubbed and rubbed, but little transferred. We did it over Annie Sloans old white.
