Thread: Rod Decals

    Rod Decals

    G'day gents,
    I'm having issues with my decals lifting, I clean the area, I cut them right to the edge of the writing, I've put epoxy on first and once dried applied the decal etc etc.
    Some stay down but I get more lifting then not, and as you can imagine what it looks like, anyway some guidance would be much appreciated.

    after you put the decal on, leave it on for a few days ,let it contour to the blank
    if its a small diameter blank bind over it, a lot of the adhesives are pressure sensitive so this will apply pressure to hold it down
    leave the bind on for a couple of days
    you can also coat it with water based cp as this will seal the edges and stop the epoxy getting to the adhesive

    If they're water slide decals you can use Micro Sol to soften them.
    Not sure if Ross @ The Rod works stocks it?
    This is the stuff
