I am going to try to apply some of my own decals using Walthers Decal Paper. I have printed black lettering on a sheet of the decal paper using an ink jet printer. I am going to let this dry at least overnight, maybe longer. The ink looks wet on the paper. I guess it makes sense that this paper is not absorbent, instead it keeps the ink on the very surface of the paper so it can be transferred to the model. These decals are for letterboards and passenger car names on an undecorated Budd car from American Models. My intent is to spray Testors Decal Bonder over the decal paper. possibly several times, after the ink has had time to dry. Then after this dries again, I will try to apply the decals to the passenger car sides. If you have had experience doing this, maybe you can tell me whether I am going about this the right way, and/or give me some tips.
I know Wayne Beachy has done this successfully on American Flyer cars. He sent me a WORD document with the lettering he used for Southern cars. This was a couple of years ago or earlier. I used the copy of his file to print my decals, although the car names I am using are names of family members. I want to apply 4 different names on 2 sets of 4 cars, or a total of 8 names. - Earl Henry, Nashville **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.
