Iceracer -

How did you get the yellow number plate decal to lay down so smooth? I have tried this over and over again and I cant get it to lay flat without folding over on itself. Any advise you can give would be helpful as mine looks less than good. image.jpg

I just realized that yours is painted on after looking at the decal sheet again. Bummer. Maybe i need stronger decal setting solution. Any advice would stil be appreciated. Thanks all.

MichaelG. I'm not sure which decal setting solutions you have tried but when I have a decal that requires extreme curves or compound curves I use a product called Solvaset. It is used mostly by the train people for decals on box cars. Anyhow it is very aggressive so I suggest you practice first. When I use it I apply the decal to the position I want it -blot off the water and "paint" the Solvaset on the decal with a soft brush - then leave it alone for 3-4 hours - do not mess with it or you will definitely damage the decal. After 3-4 hours if the decal is not fully snuggled down and smooth just apply "paint" a little more Solvaset to the wrinkles and leave it alone again for 3-4 hours. Repeat as necessary to get a nice smooth result. It is important not to mess with it when you are waiting for the Solvaset to work its magic. If you can't find Solvaset at your local hobby shop google it or check at model train shops
Hope this helps
