Bring old decals back to life!

[ONEBADMK8]

To restore an old Decal Sheet that may be Disintegrating you should use Floquil Crystal
-Cote (Clear Gloss). Apply a couple of light coats and the decal will be ready to use in 1
hour. When you are ready to use you then must cut out each decal as close as possible because
the Clear Cote links all decals on the sheet as 1 one. Normal Decal Setting Solutions should
work too. Experiment with a spare decal to make sure you have used enough clear coat.

Another tip for old decals.......


If the vintage decal sheet has started to "yellow" you can reverse this by taping the decal sheet, graphic side out, to a sunny window for a few days. Usually this will bleach the sheet back to original.
