How to Use Experts-Choice Clear Decal Film
-
Prepare Your Design: First select the image or images you want to scan or create your own graphics in your drawing and printing program. Before you print the images onto the decal paper you may want to make sure that everything fits by printing a sample on plain white paper. If everything fits, proceed with printing your artwork on the Experts-Choice™ Decal Film.
-
Seal and Protect: After printing, we recommend coating the decal with a fine spray of Microscale Liquid Decal Film (stock #127). Let this dry and then give it another heavier coat and let it dry thoroughly. If you do not have an airbrush you can use a wide, soft brush. This will do two things: it will protect the image from smudging while handling, and it will also strengthen the film so it will not bunch up when applying it to your object. You are now ready to apply your decal as you would any other water-slide decal.
-
Prepare for Application: Cut out the image you wish to apply and place it in a bowl of lukewarm water. As soon as it moves easily on the backing paper, remove it from the water.
-
Apply to Surface: Slightly moisten the area where you are going to apply the decal with Microscale Micro Set (stock #129). This will prepare the surface with special wetting agents. Slide the image onto the surface.
-
Smooth and Blot: Use a soft damp cloth to blot away excess liquid and smooth the decal in place.
-
Final Setting: After applying your decal to the model use a soft brush to apply a light coat of Microscale Micro Sol (stock #128). This will soften the decal and allow it to become part of the surface. DO NOT TOUCH it after applying the Micro Sol. Just allow it to dry.
