Re: Clear Coat for Decals Application

Wow.....now that is one of the best pieces of advice I've gotten in awhile...gloss "over" the decal to achieve that nearly fresh new "paint on" look! Brilliant!!!!!!!! That makes so much sense, I love it! Thanks!

Lets' see if I remember this about right: I watered down white Elmer's Glue, and applied it to the area receiving the decals on my Panther. It didn't peel up at all. I let dry overnight, and then applied the decals. When I felt they cured properly, I applied more diluted glue over the top of them. It's held up brilliantly, and remains clear. Hadn't thought about it much 'til now, but I do believe it left a tad of a satin finish, so that would go with your suggestion. Next time I'm downstairs, I'm going to take a gander. I like to come up with "Green" alternatives when I can, though I'm not a fanatic on the subject.....I just hate toxicity.
