There are types of transfer vinyl. The clear transfer vinyl is a strong bond one and is mainly used for transferring the materials with rough finish, like the glitter vinyl or wooden vinyl, and the frosted one is weaker than the clear one. 

The frosted transfer vinyl is mainly used for transferring the regular vinyl, like the glossy vinyl, matte vinyl, metallic vinyl, etc. The adhesive transfer vinyl performs well for transferring projects on other objects and there is no residue on the surface of your projects.
