This is the preferred system for application. It involves four simple steps and yields
excellent results with minimal mess.

I recommend that small markings like these be applied first, even before weathering. Apply a dull clear coat to give an even sheen to the model then proceed to apply the larger insignias, code numbers, etc. I don't apply any clear over the larger markings because I like the different sheens. This does not seem to be a very popular idea, but I don't build in a very conventional manner anyway.

	TRIM Cut transfers into strips for easier handling. The single most difficult thing to master with these is to get them positioned correctly and cutting them into strips will make this task much simpler. You will also be doing additional trimming to get the strip to fit into tight places.
	TRANSFER Position carefully while keeping the backing paper under the portion that you do not want to transfer. Use and dull #2 pencil and rub over the transfer applying just enough pressure to cause the ink to separate from the carrier film and onto the model. Notice how the backing paper is slid back only enough to expose the desired transfer while protecting the other transfers from accidental transfer.
	LIFT & CHECK Being careful not to move the backing film gently lift the edge to check that everything has transferred. If not lay the film back down and rub only over the items which have not transferred. Continue checking until everything has transferred onto the model.
	BURNISH Lay the backing paper over the transfer and burnish to set the adhesive. Burnishing can be done with a cotton swab an ice-cream stick or one of the fancy burnishers available at art supply stores. Excess adhesive can be removed with rubber cement thinner also available at art supply stores. IMPORTANT NOTES: A mist coat of lacquer can be applied if desired, but a heavy, wet coat of lacquer can cause certain colors to bleed. Any acrylic clear can be used without fear of color bleed. It is only wet coats of solvent based clears that will cause problems.
