Just a quick question. Has anyone here USED the decal sheets that go through your puters printer?? Just wondering if the ink will take a clear coat without smearing or running. I know it isn't fuel proof and I have a pretty large graphic I want to put on a plane.

I bought Testors decal maker and software. They include with the kit a clear spray that seals the decal and ink but you will need to fuel proof coat the decal once on the plane. I don't know if you can substitute Testors clear coat for a fuel proof clear coat. I think its very likly that you can. I don't recommend the decal software though because it's really geared fo 1/25 scale models. You should be able to make a good image by just copying from your hard drive to your printer. Sig Manufacturing sells some very large sheets of decal paper and it's very nicely priced.

Good luck,
Bill
