    Decal File Sharing

    In 2009 I began scanning, creating, and receiving some decal files. How about using this site to "share?"

    What do you use to make the decals? I have used white sticker paper and clear lable material. I once tried the print your own ink-jet water slide decals with unfavorable results.

    Thanks,

    I've been using a Canon Ink Jet printer to print on decal paper I bought online. Once the ink has dried (I usually wait over-night) I coat them with clear acrylic spray that I purchased at an art store. They work great!

    For openers here is a set of decals from estes_sidewinder

    Not certain that worked. If interested, let me know and I'll send them to your email.

    Same here....
    We use an antique HP injet on Bel clear and white paper, let it dry for 24 hours then clear coat. Generally they turn out pretty good, but cut vinyl beats them hands down.
