Gel Medium

I read an article about Gel Medium and Gel Gloss Medium. It is amazing stuff, so I read. It can be an adhesive, varnish(not the matte one), photo transfer.
My first attempt at a photo transfer isn't so hot...

I printed a picture onto regular paper. I brushed on a layer of Matte Medium onto the paper and then I pressed the image onto canvas board. Once the image appeared dry I used a damp cloth to try to moisten the paper (to remove the paper). The paper peeled off fairly easily but the image is faint and not true colors.
I am going to try again. I think if I apply the medium onto the canvas it might work? We'll see.
