Help w/ Testor's Decal Sheets
Posted by kielers on Friday, April 21, 2006 3:18 AM

I need to make a couple decals for the Avenger I'm building.  I have a pack of Testor's decal film for inkjet printers.  But, according to the instructions I need to apply a spray-on bonding agent after the decals are printed and dry.  It says this is to bond the ink so that the decals won't separate when removing from the backing and applying to the model.  I don't have the bonding agent.

So, my question is; is there something else I can use for a bonding agent like enamel clear flat, or acrylic clear flat, or maybe even some Future sprayed on?  It seems to me that if the ink is enamel or something similar then the enamel clear coat should work as a bonding agent. 

I appreciate any help or insight any of you can give me.  Thanks.

Steven
