Applying decals to wood

[warthog]

I have read all of the threads concerning this...but I am still unclear as to how the whole procedure works. Just what is the best way to apply decals to wooden barrels for pens? I thought I read somewhere that you can use trurpentine to set the decal on wood before the CA finish...but I may have read that wrong. Will someone help me with this?

I put ca finish on barrel and the water slide decal then another few coats of ca. works for me..........

I put 2 coats thin CA then apply decal per instructions. Let the decal dry overnight then apply several more coats of medium CA. MM to 12000 when done.

If you are putting the decal onto dark wood add a few extra coats of CA and the sand and polish it before adding the decal so the edges are not visible.

This product is widely used by modelers to set their decals on the plastic, before applying the final finish.
