Just a quick question here. If you either use the self stick label or the CA coating method,do you print your graphics onto the paper or do you apply the decals and top coat with your favorite clear?

Print > bond > seal
or
bond > seal > apply > seal

?

Looking for "best" method.
before you ask,waiting for kit and supplies in the mail,really can't experiment at this point.
 
I use self-adhesive label paper on fins, fillet, prime, fill, sand, reprime (if needed), paint, decal, clear. The one exception was a Fliskits ACME Spitfire where I printed the body wraps and fin wraps on self-adhesive label paper. The printed paper doesn't look nearly as good as printed decals. YMMV
 
Thank You. That's exactly 5hen type of information I was looking for.
