DECAL INSTRUCTIONS
Decals are best applied to a glossy surface. Apply glossy paint or
spray a clear gloss coating on your model before applying decals.
Carefully cut out the decal from the sheet and, using tweezers, dip
the decal into plain water for 5 seconds or until the blue backing
changes to a darker blue.
WARNING:
WARNING:
Leaving the decal in the water too long may result in the glue
washing off the decal. Lay the decal on your work surface for 30
seconds, and then slide the decal off the backing paper into
position on your model. Gently blot the excess water. Allow too
dry. Once the decals have dried thoroughly, you can use a sharp
knife to gently cut and remove the excess decal film. Apply a
second coat of clear finish over the model to seal the decals.
A decal set may be used to help the decal conform to irregular
surfaces and hides the decal film. This makes the artwork appear
to be painted on the model, rather than applies by decal.
Another method used is to create an equal mixture of water and
white glue (Elmer's). Using a brush, apply the mixture to the
surface. While still wet, apply the decal. The glue will help the
decal adhere to the surface and will dry clear. Once dry, wet a Q-
tip and remove any excess glue from the model and decal by
brushing out from the center of the decal. Brushing into the center
may cause the decal edge to lift.
Thank you to Frank Winspur and Dave Metzner of Moebius
Models for making such a great kit, and for their help and
encouragement during the development of this add-on set.

The JT-Graphics decals you have purchased are coated with
Testor's Clear Flat Lacquer. Using an Enamel clear coat such as
Krylon or Rustolium may cause damage to the decal.
A known fact is that you can apply lacquer over enamel, but not
enamel over lacquer. Therefore, it is suggested that after
applying the decals, you only coat (seal) your model with a
lacquer clear coat to avoid damaging the decals. Acrylic
enamel may not react to the lacquer, but it has not been tested.
Another suggestion is to use a piece of the decals, (such as the
JT-Graphics logo or an optional decal you do not plan on using)
and test it. Apply your test decal to a painted surface similar to
the one you will be applying to and test it against the clear coat
you wish to use.
Besides using Testor's Clear lacquer as a sealer, you can also
use Future Floor Wax as a clear coat.
