waterslide decals

I used to make my own water slide transfers by painting the adhesive side of "licky sticky" paper.

Paint the glue with clear dope or polyurethane varnish or and allow to dry.

Use enamels to create your chosen decal and again allow to dry thoroughly.

Soak in water and slide into position on the model - press out surplus water carefully with tissue or a soft cloth - leave at least overnight to allow all wqater to dry off.

Paint over with fuel proofer.

This is probably no good for film covered models but works very well on painted surfaces.
