๐ Making Your Own Decals

๐ฌ๐ง NickD (

Unable to oped this message even when following directions.
However I have made my own decals in the past, I use publisher document ans cut and paste from the images source, if I use an inkjet printer you need to overspray finished item lightly with either hairspray if in dry conditions or spray vanish if not......inkjet decals are not waterproof if not protected.
With a laser printer just print out no over spray needed.
You must use the relevant printer decal paper for the 2 different machines.
But remember that inkjet and laser cannot print white, in theses cases you have to use a white decal paper.
You can get a clear decal paper if white print is not needed but I've never had much success with it.
Laser jet is the best.

When spraying or painting with a hairy stick, I find that after applying the tape, if you spray over said tape
with matt Varnish it seals the edges and helps prevent paint bleed beneath.

Today's question about submarines answer is wrong, read below:-
The Royal Navy has released figures showing just that after nuclear submarine HMS Torbay returned to her base-port at Plymouth following a routine six-month underwater, therefore the answer should be 180 days.

Panels should fit, however before trimming wood cut a cardboard template that fits to fit then trim wood to that pattern.

What are the best Transmitter and receivers on the market. And what makes should be avoided like the plague.
Do Transmitter and Receivers have to be matched to the same make.
