Sometimes it's not possible to gain enough access to the area where the transfer must go so you may find it necessary to use the wet method.

All you are doing here is making decals from the transfers and then applying them as you would any water slide decal.

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 it's how I do it.

 

TRANSFER
Begin by transferring the artwork onto Clear Decal Film. Follow the same procedures in the first three steps of the dry method system: transfer, lift and check, burnish.

Notice how the backing paper is slid back only enough to expose the desired transfer while protecting the other transfers from accidental transfer.

 

TRIM
Carefully trim the clear film from around the artwork to remove excess clear carrier film.

 

GLOSS COAT
As with any other decal, you should apply a coat of gloss paint or acrylic floor wax to minimize silvering.

APPLY
Proceed to apply the trimmed transfer as you would any ordinary decal. You can use setting solutions.

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.
