How to put decals on.

Originally posted by gigalyncon A quicker way of moistening decals is to use scalding hot lava water instead of warm water.............................................................

I then place the decal on a paper towel for a minute or two (the water in the backing paper will continute to loosen the decal). I then apply Micro Sol to the decal and let it set for another minute or so and then apply the decal with tweezers to hold the backing paper and a good pointed paint brush. And make sure the surface you're applying the decal to is wet (water/white glue or Micro Sol. And I always apply a gloss coat to the surface prior to decaling (although I have gotten away with a semi-gloss surface a time or two) Quincy Reply Anonymous Member since November 2005 Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, August 28, 2005 4:00 PM Thx nick31, I didn't know that one.

As soon as they start to slide on the paper, take em out of the water and apply em.

For better adhesion, use setting solution or Future 3) put on a final coat to seal the whole Et voila! Less silvering and the decals won't fall of.

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 4:47 AM Hi, When i put decals on they tend not to stick on properly and fall off, and when they are on and dried you can see the shiny bit where the clear bit is of the sticker. Could you please help me with putting on decals and preventing my problems. Thanks. Reply Edit JOIN OUR COMMUNITY! Our community is FREE to join.
