I just printed off my decals on Testors Clear Decal Paper (Inkjet Printers) for my next project and not sure which item to use next. I have Testors Decal Bonder and Microscale Liquid Decal Film and know that one of them will be needed to seal up the decals. I don't think I want to use the spray due to having to worry about repeat coatings, and I've used LDF on Keith Marks and Round 2 decals but not sure how they'll do with the Testors paper.

Which would be best?

I have sealed all my home-made decals with the Liquid Decal Film and have never had a problem with it. It should be compatible with the Testors decals paper.

Hi Mike

How do you apply the liquid decal film to the printed decals, I brought some testors decal paper last year, but couldn't bring back the aerosol can because apparently airlines are a bit touchy about that sort of thing

A paint brush is all you need to apply LDF onto the decals, so you'll want to get a new soft one for the job. For really easy application it needs to be like the one in this pic, dead center of the brushes....

It should be long, flat, and level. This will allow for an even stroke when coating your work.
