Application Tips
To achieve the best results with these decals, we recommend following the standard water-slide decal application process:
- First, apply a layer of gloss varnish (such as Vallejo or Tamiya) to the area where the decal will go, to avoid the "silvering" effect.
- Soak the decal in warm water for about 20-30 seconds until it separates from the paper.
- Carefully slide it onto the surface and adjust its position with a damp brush.
- Remove excess water with a cotton swab or soft paper and allow to dry completely.
- Seal with a layer of matte or satin varnish according to the desired finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of surfaces are these decals compatible with?
The water-slide decals from Atalaya Decals work well on smooth, previously varnished surfaces. The smoother and glossier the prior finish, the better the decal will integrate, and the lower the risk of bubbles or silvering.
Are they suitable for slot car bodies?
Yes, they are especially indicated for use on slot car bodies. Their thin film allows them to adapt well to surfaces with gentle curves, common in the bodies of these models.
What auxiliary products are recommended for their application?
A decal softener (like Micro Sol or similar) helps the decal conform better to areas with relief. A gloss varnish from brands like Vallejo, Tamiya, or Ammo before application and a finishing varnish are key steps for a lasting and realistic result.
Can they be used on dioramas and figures?
Yes, any properly prepared surface — with primer and prior varnish — can receive these decals, making them useful also in diorama projects or ambient elements.
