Rob-378780 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Looking for advice regarding issues over applying decals. When I have applied to the finished model when they dry you can still see the transparent part of the decal, it might be that they are old but wondered if there is a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-378780 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Thanks RatchBasically need to apply a gloss varnish coat over the model if using matt paint and then apply the decals.Do you recommend any type of gloss varnish / brand and if better as a spray or brush applied.Cheer Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I still use Klear (a floor polish that is sold under different names now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul71 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 i use humbrol clear gloss found it to be ok, don't use it when its hot and really humid in summer or cold and damp (condensation on windows) in winter unless heating will be on till its dried i usually give it a coat in the morning giving it all day to dry since theres no heating on through night, it can turn white when drying but another coat in better conditions can usually sort this out, I've found doing two thin coats is better than one thick coat it can pool and go sticky in places underneath the kit as it finds its own level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
