Tutorial on Waterslide Decal Application.

Well, I used all my waterslides a long time ago. So I don't remember the name, but I got it at a store called Hobby Lobby. They have everything for it. Just ask one of th people who work there and they'll tell you where the stuff is.

I get mine from Michael's I am not sure if you have it up there, but if you do, just look for a blue can with a little black on it, like stripes, that is the type I use.

Wait, Michael's has it? Thanks! I didn't know that and Michael's is closer to my house than Hobby Lobby!

Wait a moment... Michael's ... the art store??! OMGosh I am totally going to hit the mall today but now I changed my mind. What's it called again?

I don't know what it's called. Ask T_C through PM.

It is called "Patricia Nimocks Clear Acrylic Sealer, Gloss" it is only like $8 for a 12 oz. can, which can last quite a while.

Gloss isn't it? DO i need to get those masks?

It also comes in matte, for those of you who don't like gloss.

EDIT: And no, you don't need a gas-mask.

Good tutorial, planning on using it in the future. BTW, does anyone know if you can get waterslide paper at Games Workshop? I heard that you can get waterslide paper at hobby stores, and I don't want to buy waterslide paper online.....

Yeah. Some Walmarts even carry them! Try your near Hobby Lobby or Micheals they are sure to have Waterslide Decal Paper.

Thanks, Doraff, just bought some from hobbytown, as well as some solvent and set, which improves adhesion to flat surfaces. Anyone know what happens if you don't use sealant?? An answer is appreciated.

I went to Michaels yesterday but all I saw is this matte..... could you guys really give me, be specific, pictures, location, etc. about the sealant. I live in Vancouver and the nearest hobby store is too far for me... PlZ, give me some specific clues....

I live in Vancouver too. There is no specific sealant that you have to use. Just get anything that says "varnish" although there are different types of varnish that have a more glossy coat.

No. You just need to make sure that when you're spraying it you shouldn't be too close to it or intentionally sniffing it and spray it in a well ventilated area.

And about my gender. I'll leave that to you to find out. >.>

It's a-
Woah a 2 for 1 value! I've got to buy that!

Hey guys!
I was just wondering if anyone can help me out. I live in Australia and I really want to start using decals. If I could, I want to buy them from a store if possible but if anyone knows a place near sydney I can buy them it would really help. Also when I used brasso to remove decals, it kind of started to burn the plastic a bit. Any help with that?
Thanks!

HI guys,I phoned Michael's today. They said there was NO Patricia Nimocks Clear Acrylic Sealer, but this white cap acrylic sealer. For the varnish, the person who picked up the phone told me that they needed a specific brand, anyone any suggestions? Um, by the way, does FolkArt Artists' Varnish or Krylon matte work?
Check out the Michael's page, is this the one every one is talking about?

And where do I get brasso in Canada?

Micheal's doesn't sell waterslide, I've checked and checked, they just don't. That includes online.

It's not bad just seems complicated. I'd rather get decal paper.

I understand that Michael's don't sell decal paper, I don't actually care. My decal paper is on it's way, I just bought a Krylon Crystal clear acrylic spray. Does it work on decal paper?

Yes it does, I use that as well. But the type I mentioned earlier is even better. Look up a few posts.

Yeah, I saw that a couple days ago. I phoned Michael's, nearest hobby shops ( Actually they are pretty far), Walmart ( Which "beeped" the whole time) to find this Patricia Nimocks Acrylic sealer. But unfortunately, there were shops that carry those sealer. Though when I went to Michael's yesterday, I did saw some varnish that are for paintings. Dunno if they are usable. Then I went to the section where all those poison things are, and there I found Krylon Crystal Clear Sealer. Which non-toxic one would you prefer? And by the way, I need some softening solution! Which brand would you recommend?

dude your amazing I really appreciate the help from you.

Can you guys help me out cause I need a decal just like that but green. It needs to look like the green clone decal from the wookiee catamaran.
Thanks for the help if you help...

This is not a decal request thread. This is a tutorial thread. If you need a decal fm an individual directly. Thank you -eG
