Decal Help... what did I do wrong??
 
Bought a nice set of Peddinghaus decals for my Tiger... lost the directions if they came with any, but they look like a standard water slide decal, so... wet the decals from the back, let it soak in a bit, dampened the tank where I was going to apply them, and tried to slide the decal off. Oops! The decal slid off, but in a thousand tiny pieces and was useless. Nice looking decals, but what the heck!

they were most likely dry transfer decals. they use pressure to affix them not water.

Hey Brother,

Those are indeed great decals but you need to let them soak just a bit longer than other decals. Instead of sliding them off it is best to "peel" them off in the same location you plan to place them.

Ernst is a great vendor and a good guy. Contact him and he'll give you directions.
