Q. When I lacquered my water slide decal it pickled up and melted, how can I avoid this?
A. All water slide decals will pickled up or melt if subject to heavy lacquering. The art is to put down plenty of fine dust coats which dry on contact. This provides a barrier to the following heavier coats

Q. The film won't come away from the water slide backing paper?
A. The water slide decal has not been soaking long enough. When it is ready for applying you will see it start to seperate from the backing paper

Q. The film still won't come away from the backing paper?
A. Please check that you purchased and have a water slide decal. If you have a self adhesive decal and have soaked it in water, do not despair. The adhesive is waterproof, put the decal to one side and wait for it to dry out completely, then follow the intrustions for the self adhesive decals


Q. Do I have to lacquer my self adhesive decal?
A. No, your self adhesive decal can be  applied to a finished headstock and left as is
