How to apply waterslide decals





What you need to apply waterslide decals


  -Waterslide decal paper

  -Small medicine cup filled with water

  -Tweezers

  -Q-tip (one side wet and one side dry)

  -Toothpick (optional)


How to apply waterslide decals


  -Cut out decal with a hobby knife (this is better than using scissors because the hobby knife moves
  more easily)

  -Hold waterslide decal with tweezers under water for 5-7 seconds until there is a slight color change
  (a slightly darker blue) and it will wilt.

  -Use the wet side of the q-tip to move it off of the paper to the plastic model location that you want
  it on.

  -Once the waterslide decal is in the correct place, swith q-tip to the dry side to remove excess water
  and to secure the decal into place.


Tips to remember


  -Do not move the waterslide decal a lot because they can easily tear and are hard to repair because
  they are so small.

  -Do not spill your water
