Waterslide paper question.

[echoist]

oh btw for echoist and those of u who might want to ask me to print some for you, i'm really sorry cos, i have links to the owner of the shop, so he allows me to print in such small quantities, by right they only print large quantities.

Hey, no worries.. I'll try to find contacts elsewhere.. :mrgreen:

As a hobbyist I have extensive exoirience & knowledge with decaling.

Make sure you purchase the correcttype of decal paper - the onesthat you can print onusing normalpinters. Theres a nother variety that only works with lazer printers.

Try the aeromodeling shops for desktop priting decal sheets. No hardware shop or even aet friend etc carries thes decal papers.

After printing youhave to "lock" your print work - normal can clear laquer works great - not too thick ..One thin coat would suffice.

surfaces that the decal is going on to should be gloss.

precut decal to desire shape - leaving as little border areas around the design.

Dip in warm water to loosen the decal from the backing paper. When itgets loose enuff to move slightly, remove from water, apply decal to surface. clean of any excesswaterfrom the surface suing a clean cloth.

Last step - optional - if you wantto really lock in the decal - spraying of clear laquer coats oer the installed decal then buffying till dry.

Hope this helps

Ok - in my experience, you cannot buy printable waterslide decal (and I mean exactly the type used for plastic kits) in Singapore. I've tried Art Friend, Homefix (no way), South Asia Computer, at least half a dozen model/hobbyist stores, all those printing supplies shops at Funan, and even a bunch of printers around Bras Basah complex. None of what they have are exactly the right thing - they are either stickers or iron on transfers or some other crap.

You can buy it at Amazon though (I have not tried it)

[dudelove]

u can try some printing shops in sim lim. just like i did. but the thing is most of them print in bulk. but u nvr know.. so u can go there and try ur luck. one thing i'm very sure is, they DO water slide decal printing at those printing shops..

Okay found something similar at Art Friend for $12. Its those fake tattoo kind.
Sadly I realised that there is no space on my pedal(yes I have 1) and the surface is not right anyway.
