michaelp Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I think that the BECC range do dial transfers in a variety of sizes. Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

70021 Morning Star Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 If you have an inkjet printer, you could make your own. You need a special glue-backed paper and a can of spray acrylic varnish. Quite a few suppliers, so just Google "how to make waterslide decals". There's two types of paper, depending on whether you want a white or clear background. The nice thing is, as you apply the original varnish, you can decide if it's gloss, matt, or satin. In the case of producing dials, I'd imagine that's a bonus, as you would need to do a lot of masking out before overspraying with varnish. Have fun, Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun, Rick Crafty Computer Paper is who I use for decal paper - no connection other than as a satisfied customer. If you have access to a laserjet printer, use the laserjet decal paper instead. the decal doesn't need waterproofing with varnish before use, as an inkjet printed one does. (The varnish makes the decal thicker and slightly more visible) Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
70021 Morning Star Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Actually, I'd intentionally avoided advertising one supplier ;-) mutter, mutter, mutter... The video at whatstheirnames says you need three coats of acrylic varnish to stop the ink leeching. You don't. Just buy genuine quality inkjet cartridges, and let the ink thoroughly dry overnight. Then you only need a couple of light applications of varnish - not too thick - just enough to hold the transfer together. Cheers, Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
