You will need an adhesive or plastisol ink for your foil to stick to.
You will also need a screen or a template.

Call Wilflex and ask about combining MCVFF-Clear adhesive with a high density base...works nice. You can get foils from Crown Roll Leaf in NJ.

Print the adhesive combo through a 110 or lower mesh.

Definitely call Wilflex though...they will be able to give some pretty good tips.
