Pro tip: She touched on this in the video but be sure to apply the decal over an already glossy surface, otherwise the decal will "silver" and be a bit more obvious. Also, hobby shops sell decal softening solution (like Mr Mark Softer or Micro Sol) which helps the decal conform to irregular surfaces and make it look more painted on.

@3x3CustomTamar 4 года назад

Great tip!

@-Viceroy- 4 года назад

Glossy surface can be lightly "matted" with 0000 steel wool and it won't silver, just makes the decal easier to stick. Also rolling a cotton bud over the decal instead of swiping it, makes it easier to get all the air and water off underneath. Especially if the surface is curved

@ryankelsey9646 4 года назад

Will I have any trouble if I sanded on old logo off a headstock then put another one directly on it, or will I have to put something on before I apply my waterslide logo?

@aprildegele1510 Год назад

@@3x3CustomTamar Good to know. I just bought waterslide paper (because of this video) and now I'm in the process of making my logo. Seal first, check. Although I can think of better sealers than Mod Podge, but I guess it works based on the video. I usually use clear shellac to seal (normally use the "sanding sealer" one, but I don't know that it's any different than flake shellac), so I'm assuming that will work for a "glossy" finish on which to apply the decal. Why don't the directions in the decal paper package say that? Maybe my paper is different. There are even papers available that don't require sealing ... but I'm skeptical.

@dimebag108 Месяц назад

Do you mean that a smooth surface makes the clear waterslide area disappear totally after clear coat? Because I'm having this issue 😢

@clintoncraft4161 3 года назад

This video is the first time I saw this idea! (I did water slide decals on models as a child, but never put two and two together...) I just made my own decals for a telecaster I’m building and am in love with the results! Thanks for putting this video out!

@3x3CustomTamar 3 года назад

Awesome!!

@-Viceroy- 4 года назад

For that size decals: Drop or two of water at the point where the decal will be. Put the precut decal over that drop of water and wait a 30sec or so and then just slide the decal. Many times it's so much easier when decal is already at the surface you want it to. Also just a small amount of water is needed to soak the backing paper off the decal side.

The laser printer decals are easier, they don't require sealing, the ink is waterproof, so you can apply the decal and then sand and seal it after.

@3x3CustomTamar 4 года назад

@DreadedOne509 4 года назад

Have you considered using a toner based print (reversed), then ironed on? Would alleviate the need to trim/cut/sand etc and no smearing etc.

@3x3CustomTamar 4 года назад

I have. But water slide decals are the traditional way to put logos on guitar head stocks. The image is also clearer with these decals. I find the ironed on toner based images to be a bit grainy/blurry

@charlesreicks648 4 года назад

After using the decal sheet can you use it again or have you wasted the rest of the sheet? Thanks

@3x3CustomTamar 4 года назад

You can use the portion that you didn’t spray sealer on. Yes. I have done that before. Just make sure the printer settings are changed to accommodate a new paper size since you will cut away the part that you already used

@ChrisMartin-iy2yy 2 года назад

I tried to use the spray mod podge but it constantly jammed up in the sprayer and never applied evenly. Ruined 3 sticker sheets I had printed off....

@NiHaoMike64 4 года назад

How does it compare to engraving/burning the wood with a cheap laser CNC? (Which, BTW, is just a 3D printer with a laser attachment.)

@3x3CustomTamar 4 года назад

It’s just a different thing. You can print pictures with color on them I think is the main difference. Can’t get color with a laser. Also a laser etched into the wood. This sits on top of the wood

@LuisCasstle 4 года назад

For anyone interested, the way I know is by laser printing it on a transfer sheet made for this with special toner. Google Forever transfer paper and waterslide. They make way more types of papers so you're possibilities may open up. The equipment investment is very small. Do your research and you'll discover many options.

@3x3CustomTamar 4 года назад

I don’t have a laser printer. My inkjet works fine so there’s no need for me to change it out. This video is for other ppl who only have inkjets as well bc they might want to do the same thing without investing in another machine
