Have you put decals on wood? If so is it the same process with CA as a base prior to placing decal down? Looks good. Gary
Gary,
Yes I have put decals on wooden barrels. I use a base of CA on wood because of the grain in the wood. If you apply a decal to a surface that is not dead smooth, the grain pattern will show thru the decal.
Have you received the decals I sent?
Larry
Thanks for the video. I had read your instructions but the video really helps.
How long do you let the printed decal dry before proceeding?
Some people recommend coating the decal with a clear Krylon type spray. Do you coat the decal with anything after printing it?
Larry
Larry,
Let the decals dry for at least 3 to 5 hours (depending on room temp) before coating with CA.
I use a hot-box for all my drying. About a hour and the decals are dry
Here is a link to a thread I posted about making a hot-box. Should cost about $10 to $15 to make.

You MUST cover ink-jet printed decals with a protective coating. The ink is water base and will run when you wet the decal. I use Krylon Clear Acrylic spray.
