Default RE: DECALS Where or how?

Hi Jim,

I just thought about a couple of other things. When I experimented with "fixing" the ink jet ink, I had some that were just misted with Krylon and some that were sprayed a bit heavier. The ones that were misted cracked as I carefully pulled the decal from the backer and some of the ink was exposed to the water resulting in a ruined decal. The ones that were a bit heavier worked out well, however, too heavy equals a fogged appearance. There is no way to explain how heavy is right so all I can say is to be careful and experiment a bit. Also, If you are currently looking for a few WWII German decals, check out this link - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...P?&C=QAE&V=MAJ. I am still new to this "make your own decal" thing myself so I will post new results when and if I learn more.

Regards,

Steve
