Pro tip: She touched on this in the video but be sure to apply the decal over an already glossy surface, otherwise the decal will "silver" and be a bit more obvious. Also, hobby shops sell decal softening solution (like Mr Mark Softer or Micro Sol) which helps the decal conform to irregular surfaces and make it look more painted on.

This video is the first time I saw this idea! (I did water slide decals on models as a child, but never put two and two together...) I just made my own decals for a telecaster I’m building and am in love with the results! Thanks for putting this video out!

For that size decals: Drop or two of water at the point where the decal will be. Put the precut decal over that drop of water and wait a 30sec or so and then just slide the decal.
Many times it's so much easier when decal is already at the surface you want it to. Also just a small amount of water is needed to soak the backing paper off the decal side.

Good info. I didn't know that type of paper existed. Now I do. Thanks.

[PneumaticAddict]

YES! I'm totally stealing this idea for an upcoming project

The laser printer decals are easier, they don't require sealing, the ink is waterproof, so you can apply the decal and then sand and seal it after.

That looks amazing and you made it look so easy Tamar! 👏 You show us some of the coolest things! I didn’t know you could buy paper like that! Thank you so much for sharing some of your ideas with us!

Personally, I always keep my cans of ay-crylic stored in droz. 😊

Hot, helpful, and a guitarist. The trifecta!

[mjremy]

Great video! I wonder if you can use these decals for a metal surface like a painted sewing machine? Would love to know!

[steelpennyforge]

Great video! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[FigmentsMade]

Cool! I think I'm going to have to try this out! Thank you for sharing!

I have used testor inkjet products on my Cajon builds, and placed the decal on lighter woods like Birch and the water slide decal does not show through. I varnish first, then place decal then varnish 2 more times.
