• I just printed some black lettering on Testors clear decal paper. Do I absolutely need to clear this before application, or no? It seems to get to where it won't lay down well when I do this. Thanks *NM*
  • Yes.... The clear is what bonds the ink to the decal paper. Without it the ink simply washes away when you wet the decal. *NM*
    • Thanks Marty...could I use Pledge for this?? *NM*
      • Again, I would be afraid that Pledge / Future just wash the ink away.... Best bet is Testors' 9200 Decal Bonder spay, though Testors Gloss-Cote will do in a pinch.....
        • Re: Yes. *NM*
          • OK, thanks. *NM*
  • I'm assuming you did this on an inkjet. A laser printer is much more permanent, but I still apply a decal clear anyway *NM*
    • Not just any clear though! Microscale works well, what do you use? *NM*
      • Microscale Clear. *NM*
