here's what i mean:

basically peel off the sticker (or use it for something!) and use the glossy/waxy side of the backing paper (the non-adhesive paper, what the sticker paper is attatched to) for your transfers. this stuff is fairly cheap, and any office supply store should have some. the thinking behind this is that it's made for something adhesive to come off of it, so it will readily release the ink for transfer.

you can clean off the rosin, do a search here and maybe even google. i'm betting all you need is rubbing alcohol, or some other easy to find chemical.

is the tip removable? tips don't last forever, so hopefully you can find a replacement in a suitable size. the larger tip isn't bad, but as you've experienced it lacks some of the control necessary for finer soldering jobs. either way, you did a good job here, perhaps a little thick in spots, but with your iron i wouldn't expect anything different.

and experience will come! you're getting there, don't worry for a second.
