In the 1960s we would coat brown paper packing tape with several coats of airplane dope that you would get at a hobby store. You could paint on top of the coating with Enamel paint, When dry soak them in water and slide them off for our model railroad projects. Now that’s old-school.
Great video. That's really useful. I just think of waterslides as being something that came with model kits. I never thought of the benefits or of making my own. Thanks for making this.
I roll a damp cotton swab to run air pockets.
This isn't really a technical observation but your Tshirt is awesome!
So helpful! Also love the action force figures. Hoping to use these as tech deck graphics. Any insights on graphics taking some scraping?
I'm gonna use clear waterslide on a motorbike white part. Should I paint white the transparent edges before clear coating, or I can clear coat right on the sticker as it is? Will the edge line be visible after good 3 coats of 2k clear and sanding and buffing?
A real life motorcycle or a model? If it not a model your real concern is what type of clear coat that you are using and will the waterslide stick to your surface? If there is an enamel coat on the paint already I don't know if it will stick. Also, it may appear to stick until it gets wet.
Do you make your own decals? If so what program do you use to design them?
I would love to know how you do the molds
So Adobe Illustrator is where I need to go to resize decals? I've been struggling trying to get sizes adjusted
