I'm looking to see if anyone has any of the older unused water slide Estes logo decals from their built kits they'd be willing to part with. I'd like to place these on some of my older refinished kits. I wish Estes did a sheet with their logo in various sizes but didn't see anything like this on their website. So I'm having to stand in the median with my panhandlers sign begging for decals. Only difference is I'll pay a reasonable price.

Are you familiar with home printing decals?

That is definitely the best answer for this request... but that said, you might indeed find some folks with extra logo decals lying around that they didn't put on their rockets.

But if you haven't home-printed decals before, this would be a great simple starting point.
 
I attempted to use some very old water transfer decals on my Titan IIIE, and they were so brittle, most of the cracked. I hear that there are certain treatments for this, but another thought to consider is Mark at stickershock23.com, he has reproduction vinyl that is easy to apply, looks sharp, and will hold up well. Some kits he has already, and others he is willing to do. I bought a set for my Alien Space Probe, and they turned out well.

Microscale makes a "Liquid Decal Film" that is used to restore old decals. You apply it prior to wetting the decal. Its instructions say to apply with an artist's brush, and allow 15 minutes drying time.
 
I've generally been throwing the Estes logos away, since I normally don't use them. However, I do have some stick-on decals (not waterslide) Estes logos from some of my son's kits that didn't get tossed.

Maybe I ought to start saving them for someone in the future? Kind of like pass it along...
