: They can work on a curved surface, so long as you use a craft knife (Xacto or
: similar is best) to make a small slit in the transfer; this allows the
: decal to sit flush to the surface without bunching or bubbling.
: They might adhere to a rough surface, but they'd look frosted afterwards
: because of the air pockets trapped underneath. The solution for this is to
: apply clear gloss varnish (and allowing it to dry!) on the surface before
: putting the decal on; this creates a smooth surface for the decal to
: adhere to.
: Of course, after putting on a water-slide transfer you MUST put on a fixative
: coating to prevent the transfer from tearing or simply dissolving off.
: They're unfortunately sensitive to things like sweat and finger oils. GW
: sells "Purity Seal" varnish in spray cans which provides a very
: durable gloss finish; if you want a more realistic matte finish, you can
: go with Krylon fixative (found in craft stores) as I do.
: See above for the handling... the only other possible fly in the ointment is
: if the figures are made from flexible plastic. If the figures tend to
: flex, then the sealant and the decals are at risk. They should still be
: alright if handled gently.
: -- Steve has learned many of these lessons from painful experience.
