Instructions for Application
To achieve the best results when using Pin Ups decals or other scale model decals, it's crucial to follow proper application techniques. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Using a sharp cutter or blade, carefully cut the decal as close to the image's edge as possible. Employing a new blade ensures clean cuts and minimizes the risk of tearing or damage.
- Using tweezers, delicately immerse the decal in lukewarm water for approximately 20 seconds or until it starts to loosen from the backing paper. If the decal proves difficult to release, consider using slightly warmer water.
- Once ready, gently slide the decal off the backing paper and onto the surface of your model. Use a soft paintbrush or cotton swab to help position the decal, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles. Take care and proceed patiently to avoid damaging the decal.
- To prevent silvering and protect the paint beneath, apply a small amount of GSW Decal Fixer to the surface where the decal will be placed. If the decal is challenging to reposition, add additional Fixer or water to assist its movement until it reaches the desired position.
- If applying the decal to a curved surface, such as a shoulder pad, it may develop wrinkles. Combat this by applying GSW Decal Softener to the decal after placement. The Softener will adapt to the curved surface, eliminating wrinkles. Repeat this step 2-3 times until the wrinkles disappear. Use a cotton swab or paper towel to remove excess liquid trapped between the decal and the surface, being cautious not to lift the decal.
- For a unified surface, apply another coat of GSW Decal Fixer to the decal and the surrounding area. Optionally, apply a coat of matte or gloss varnish to achieve the desired finish. By following these steps, you'll effortlessly apply scale model decals and attain a professional-looking result.
