Re: Not easy applying long decal stripes!

I have a separate airbrush color cup just for Future .Much less chance for contamination and subsequent problems it can cause.Never had any issue with Future always had good results.

Re: Not easy applying long decal stripes!

Well I put Microsol down before placing the decals.I had to put them in proper position quickly as the Microsol softens the decals rapidly.

Re: Not easy applying long decal stripes!

I like to slide it off of the edge and pull the backing paper to the left while holding the decal in position.
