More DIY Inkjet Decals and Paint Testing
1. So the decals I made the other day and coated with satin acrylic have been applied, and so far they look pretty good. The ink didn't run or flake. I haven't clear coated them yet, but I did use Micro Sol when I applied them and it looks good. You have to watch them as they dry because they will wrinkle up real bad if you aren't paying attention. I use a tiny bit of paper towel to soak up the extra Micro Sol every once in a while. I also make 1 swipe with the Micro Sol before I lay them down. More on how they turned out later...
2. Acrylic on Polyurethane. I airbrushed a 60-40 91% alcohol to acrylic paint without primer on the polyurethane. It took a while to find a decent setting for the airbrush, but about 60# of pressure and the needle backed off just a hair on the airbrush seemed to do the trick. It took 2 coats and the paint is just a bit light, but I always like to use paint without primer if at all possible. The paint did dry in about 30 mins.
