READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
These appliques are not decals! They do not respond to any decal prep or setting solution and may even be damaged depending on which brand you use. Please follow these instructions.
Application Instructions
Step 1. Cut the desired insignia from the sheet. There is no clear film! Each insignia is a separate applique printed on paper coated with water-soluble release agent!
Step 2. Dip the applique in water for 30 seconds.
Step 3. Brush a coat of gloss clear acrylic on the area where the applique will be placed. Although not necessary, it will maximize adhesion and eliminate the need for a gloss coat like traditional decals.
Step 4. Slide the applique off the backing paper into place. Blot up any excess water/acrylic and press the applique down.
Step 5. Allow to dry and finish with your favorite clear coat. They are compatible with any paint.
DO NOT USE ANY SETTING SOLUTION!
This set will definitely prove to be value for marking British figures uniforms.
I want to thank Archer fine Decals for this review sample.
