I've been thinking of trying out some of Verlindens dry transfer decals. Does anyone have an opinion on them? Do you need to gloss-coat before applying them, or can they go on right on the flat finish? Do you need to fix them with anything?...like applying a final coat of flat-coat? Sorry for all the questions, but I've never used these before.

Thanks in advance.

Sometimes they can be rather tricky to apply. You attempt to line up the dry transfer and then rub it with some sort of stylus. I usually use a pencil, that way you can tell where the decal was pressed down.

I was just about to write a simmilar question. I'm about to get some dry transfers from Archer... As far as I know there is no need for gloss coat or fixation. Just weather it with the model. Am I right guys?

I like to use dry transfers to make my own bumper numbers on my modern vehicles.
To make it easier on applying them, I like to rub them down on BareMetal Foil brand clear decal paper and then apply like a regular wet decal. If you trimm them relly close, you can barely tell they are on a water decal. Then just seal them with the appropriate clear finish.
