Decal Application

The process of applying a waterslide decal is straightforward and accessible even for those new to model decoration:

1. Cut out the decal you wish to apply, leaving the minimum margin possible.
2. Soak the cut piece in lukewarm water for a few seconds, until the decal slides smoothly off the backing paper.
3. Slide the decal onto the surface of the model, which should be clean and, if possible, coated with a satin or glossy varnish to aid adhesion.
4. Adjust the position with a damp brush and gently remove any air bubbles.
5. Once dry, apply a layer of finishing varnish (matte, satin, or glossy depending on the desired effect) to protect the decal and visually integrate it with the model.

For best results, products such as decal softeners from Vallejo or Tamiya help the decal conform perfectly to textured or curved surfaces.

Ideal for…

This decal is designed for enthusiasts looking to recreate period settings or add vintage logos to their models. It is especially useful for:

• Custom slot cars or free decoration.
• Static models and figures with retro or classic competition themes.
• Dioramas requiring signage, advertising, or classic graphic elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

On what surfaces can these decals be applied?

Waterslide decals adhere well to smooth, clean surfaces, preferably sealed with varnish. They work on plastic, resin, and metal, provided the surface is properly prepared.

Is it necessary to varnish before applying the decal?

It is not strictly mandatory, but highly recommended. A prior layer of glossy varnish prevents "silvering" (the appearance of a silver halo around the decal) and improves adhesion.

What should I do if the decal breaks when applying it?

If the decal breaks, it has probably been in the water too long. 10-20 seconds is usually sufficient: the decal should detach from the paper easily but still have some tension to keep it intact.

Can I apply it to curved surfaces?

Yes. For curved or textured surfaces, using a decal softener (like those from Vallejo or Tamiya) helps the material conform without wrinkles or bubbles.

Is it compatible with acrylic paints?

Yes, as long as the painted surface is completely dry and sealed. Acrylic paints from brands like Vallejo, Kaleido, or Tamiya are a common and compatible base for this type of decal.
