I just spent an hour readng through the old topics and still need help

I have the inkjet decal paper from MicroMark and was getting ready to print my decals. I noticed it said I need to seal the decal with their sealer. Since their sealer is just Krylon Acrylic transperant spray I imagine I can use Future etc. The question is... are they talking about before or after they are on the model?

I guess my confusion is because I always seal a decal after I apply it so what is the differance .

Can you still use the MicroMark decal set solutions on the decal (regardless of when you put the sealer on).

My guess is that you put a sealer on after you apply it, but I want to be sure.

Thanks
John

I would think before you put it on, to keep it from smearing on the paper. I've never used that paper but that would be logical. I just guessing here.

I'm not sure if Future will work, but I do know that it has to be sealed before you apply the decal, the sealer is what the ink sticks to during the transfer, weather future is strong enough or
has enough sticking power I don't know..
Let us know if it works

good luck
