Lord Ferguson Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 They are great Mandy... loving the idea... Plant hire logo's seem like a good idea to me as well... isn't most signwriting just plain text and solid colours really anyway... should be quite simple to do I reckon \ I used waterslide once - it's quite easy to do... BUT.... VERY VERY expensive to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use stuff called Decadry... but it's a devil to get hold of Not sure if Stephen uses the same stuff. I asked about the water slide type because I want an even better finish.

powerrabbit Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I find that waterslide transfers do'nt like sticking to plastic as the surface of plastic is too smooth and shiny and they tend to just fall off when dry, so I first apply a very thin coat of clear varnish, nail varnish is good and then let it dry completely before applying the transfer. Another thing with waterslide is that some tend to shrink in drying and crack so again, when they are completely dry, apply a very thin coat of varnish over them, this also protects them. I had one of the waterslide decals come off the RJN Classics red D.B. 990 and re-attached it using my varnish method......Should post this in 'hints and tips' but seeing we're on the subject of decals.
