    DIY Decals

    Is there a kind person out there that can spill the beans as to what you can and cant use as a fixer once you have printed you decals.

    I have heard that acryllic varnish does the job but are there other things you can use? Klear for example, can that be used.

    I should point out that I will be giving it Micro set/sol after, so that probably has some effect on the fixer you use. Or does it??

    I've used "Plasti-Kote" clear acrylic spray to do this. Results were variable and on anything bigger than a serial number there was some bleeding that I had to touch up. I now use a laser printer at work as the ink is not water soluble, avoiding the problem. You can't use inkjet decal film in a laser printer,special laser printer paper is needed.

    Cheers
