Application and Use

Water slide decals are the most widespread method in slot modelling and customization for achieving sharp finishes without the need for an airbrush or stencils. The process is straightforward: cut out the desired element from the sheet, briefly immerse it in water, slide it onto the model's surface, and adjust carefully before it dries. With some practice and patience, the result is clean and professional.

For best results, we recommend applying a layer of satin or gloss varnish to the target area beforehand; this enhances adhesion and prevents the "silvering" effect around the edges. Once the decal is dry, protect it with another layer of varnish of your preferred finish — matte, satin, or gloss — depending on the final look you are aiming for.

Ideal for…

This decal is designed for slot enthusiasts and static modellers who want to customise body shells, replicate team liveries, or recreate competition vehicles with the Martini Racing livery. It is also very useful for restoring or completing worn decorations on collectible models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a water slide decal and how does it differ from an adhesive?

A water slide decal (or decal) is activated by moisture: when wet, the film with the decoration separates from the backing paper and slides onto the model's surface. Unlike a conventional adhesive, it can be slightly repositioned before it dries, allowing for a more precise adjustment.

What surfaces can it be applied to?

It works on any smooth and clean surface: painted body shells, resin, plastic, or metal. A prior layer of gloss varnish significantly improves adhesion and the final finish.

Do the dimensions 70×100 mm refer to the entire sheet or to each individual element?

Those dimensions correspond to the total size of the decal sheet, which may include several elements or motifs of the MARTINI decoration within that format.

Do I need any special tools to apply it?

It is not essential, although a couple of basic tools make the job much easier: a toothpick or silicone spatula for sliding and positioning the decal, and a decal setting solution to adapt it to curved or textured surfaces.

What paints or varnishes is it compatible with?

It is compatible with acrylic varnishes from common modelling brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo. Avoid aggressive solvents that may attack the decal film.
