Hi guys,
i had just made custom decals using Expert Choice white laser paper.
The printing turn out well. However when i try to apply it, i face some quality problem.

The instruction ask to apply a coat of Liquid Decal Film over the design. So i did. I leave it for 1 hour and then soak it into water. When i transfer it to the model, when it dry, the color seem to deteriorate. It become fade.

Then i tried not to apply the decal film. The color is ok when it dried but it becomes separated along the edges. It ended up like a tooth like edges.

Can somebody help me..

the manual on the paper suggested that i apply the liquid decal film with an airbrush. Since it's a thick liquid, how can i thin it down??

thanks

Zaidi
