Your Minicraft model includes high-quality waterslide decals. These decals adhere best
to a glossy surface; and it is recommended that you apply a clear gloss coat over your
painted model.
Use a sharp scissors or knife to cut individual decals from the carrier sheet. Do not cut
into the clear film surrounding the individual decals.
* It is recommended that you apply one decal at a time.
* Place the decal section in warm water, when first inserted in the water your decal will
curl, after approximately ten seconds the decal will uncurl. Remove from water and lay
on a paper towel. After approximately 10 - 20 seconds the decal will slide freely from the
backing paper. Use a small brush to help slide the decal from the backing paper and into
position on the model. Carefully blot excess water from the decal, using care not to move
the decal or tear it.
* If you choose to use a setting solution, apply a thin coat over the decal following the
manufacturer’s instruction.
* Allow the decal to dry overnight. Wash any adhesive residue off the model with a small
amount of clean water and dry thoroughly.
* Apply clear gloss, matte or flat coat to seal decals following the instructions from the
manufacturer.
