JohnS Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Hi, all. I've printed a set of home-made decals for my current MTB project. In the past, I've used Testors decal bonder to seal the printed decals. The Testers bonder is a clear gloss lacquer. On this project, I'm not planning on using a final flat or gloss clear coat overall on the model. I'm painting most of the model with flat paint & it would be nice if the decals were flat as well (with no additional top coat). So, I was wondering if anyone has had experience using a flat clear lacquer as a decal bonder, to seal the printed decals? Does it work, or should I stick with the gloss lacquer? Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thx John Edited June 23, 2017 by JohnS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You have to test it to find out. I've tried many different clears to seal my homemade decals, and have had very inconsistent results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
