Is it better to put them on the top of a clear body or the bottom? If on the bottom should l use Solvaset or one of the other products mentioned in the other stream to help keep the paint from getting between the decal and the body?

Waterslide decals applied inside or outside will eventually be damaged when the vac-form body flexes and because of that will flake off.

Better to use vinyl stickers that have some degree of flex.


That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.
