Thinking of applying a waterslide meatball to a Saddlery A-2 & possibly a repro M1943 - just because i can
There have been threads on this before but pictures no longer visible.
Here’s what i plan to do, feel free to correct me !
1. Clean area where decal is to be applied (a quite wipe with white spirit ?)
2. Cut the decal so the meatball letters are separate
3. Trim meatball down to size
4. Lightly pencil a circle just smaller than the meatball / rectangle for the letters
5. Apply decal set to areas
6. Soak decals for 5 mins (or until the move freely over paper)
7. Put decals where they are to be applied & start to slide the decal onto the surface pulling paper to one side but decal in place.. Ensure any air bubbles are smoothed out.
8. Let decal set start to dry
9. Apply decal fix to surface of decal
10. Wait patiently
11. Apply varnish
Sound ok ?
Thanks
Dave
