Where did you get the graphics? I have a multicolored decal that I would love to reproduce.
I got most of them off their respective websites - the others I created myself.


ORIGINAL: scale only 4 me

Looking at a couple pics on your flicker acct. It seams to me you've over-coated them,, that may be why they are pealing,, You only need a light coat to seal the ink to the decal film. If you coat it too heavy that coating could continue to shrink an pull the edges with it.

Good luck
You might have something there. I gave them three light coats - perhaps only one was needed. I'm experimenting with the Micro Set and the Micro Sol now - if that doesn't turn out well I'll try a new sheet with one coat.
