Assuming by decal you mean printing... Well, I've never tried it, but a lot of people say brasso works pretty well at removing lego printing.

It does work. I once used Nail Polish Remover and pencil eraser, but that got a little bit... messy.

Brasso works the best. You can get the printing off of a torso in about two minutes or so.

I use eraser. Takes like half an hour, but it works.

The reason is 'cause I can't seem to find brasso.

It's in supermarkets, it's a real brass cleaner in case you didn't figure it out.

Magic Eraser works MUCH better though.

You are absolutely right! I thought I was the only one who figured that erasers work. But do Magic erasers work better than regular erasers? And where can I buy decal solution in Canada?
Thanks!

Yellow Pages: Any Hobby Store. Call, 99.9% chance they'll have it or can special order it.

I simply use 600 grit sand paper.

When I let the decals dry the ink comes off!! Any suggestions on what to do??

I don't mean to be mini mod here but I think you should have a look at the rules about bumbing old topics(if nobody has posted with in two weeks it's considered bumbing) hope I helped here .

Maybe you should read them, pinned topics can't be bumped.

Are you talking to me or er him.

Wow really. Didn't you just get off a three day ban? Besides adding to a bumped topic is just as bad if you nothing to say about it. And ah “BUMPING” is spelled with a “P”.

So...

...waterslide decals.

I'm going to brush up on my water decal skills in next few days. But not on Lego. I'm building a model rocket.

I am actually tired about Hoff, but whatever. Um, do I have to use sealant to make the decal stay on the torso?

If you want more durability and a better finish, yes use the sealant.

Okay I figured out I didn't use although sealant and thats why ink came off but now a residue (sticky stuff) is on the decals after the last 2 sprays.

Were do you get the decals?

Chaotic Good obviously made the decals himself and if you do not know Chaotic good hasn't log on in over a year.

Or you can browse through all the decal sharing threads.
