Making Decals from Solartrim.

[wonwinglo]

Have you tried making your own decals from Solartrim yet ? this material lends itself ideally to making typical R.A.F roundals etc,here is a guide on how to make a basic red/white/blue roundal which will give you an idea on how it all works,firstly lay the three colours onto your self healing cutting mat and allow them to 'relax' use an Olfa circle cutter and cut the outermost blue circle from the solartrim,next re-set the cutter and cut the white mid circle and finally the red centre,prepare the area where the roundal will go by applying water with a touch of washing up liquid added then peel one corner back and fold it over of the blue circle,now place into position and adjust by sliding over the water/washing up liquid solution,next pull back all of the film and dab down with kitchen tissue paper to absorb the moisture,allowto dry for a few hours and then continue with the other two colours in the same way.

The result will be first class roundals,you can also make American stars,German crosses etc in this way as well very economically.

A coat of Humbrol clearcote will ensure that they are sealed around the edges.
