Application Instructions

Kitsworld Water-slide Decals are printed on the highest quality decal paper, made up of a water-soluble adhesive and printed on a light blue backing paper.

How to Apply Water-slide Decals.
1). Cut around the decal.
2). Using the tweezers, pick up the decal and put it on the surface of the water - it may curl or sink, but this is normal.
3). Take the decal from the water and place it on a paper towel allowing any excess moisture to drain.
4). If using decal solutions then paint the first decal solution onto the scale model, at the point where you intend to stick the decal.
5). Use a paint brush or tweezers to pick up the decal and place it onto the surface.
6). Once the decal is in position dab a clean paper towel on the decal to soak up any left over water.
7). Leave the decal to dry, once completely dry a thin layer of gloss or matte varnish can be applied.
