Decals on Warbirds

by erad | April 8, 2020 | (8) Posted in Tips

I asked about Decals and was also asked about Decals. Till now I let them print out on adhesive plastic foil by the print shop. But they always peeled off. So I was looking for a better way to do it.
Recently somebody told me about Mod Podge. Mod Podge is a kind of white paper glue. So I tried to use this. Print out on normal Paper with my Ink Jet Printer. Thats cheaper. Much cheaper.
I tried how to do it right. So I found out: Cut out the Decal then put it on a plastic surface upside down. Smear the Mod Podge on the back.
Wait until paper soaks in the Mod Podge then apply it to the Airplane. Press and flatten it on with fingers. Let it thoroughly dry. it must be really dry.
When it is really dry, you can smear Mod Podge on top of it and it will be sealed nicely without wrinkles and become satin glossy...

I'm glad I found this to make my Birds nicer without being dependent on a printshop.
