Hi Bill,

I've done it with their "peel & stick" sheets and water based acrylic artists ink which is available anywhere they sell calligraphy pens. Most Art stores stock it. No need to coat with CP or clear Krylon, you can go right to finish directly over this ink.

Take care in applying the decal, because air bubbles don’t work out from under these peel & sticks like they do with waterslides.
