Because of a change in EPA classification of material, the waterslide decals that Decal Connection used to offer are no longer available. You can buy waterslide sheets and print on them, but the material is fragile and pretty brittle, which is why DC probably doesn't offer them anymore if this is all that is available.

The peel and stick labels from DC are very good. They come on a carrier and are very easy to apply. A coat of CP or a couple coats of Krylon fixative before finishing and they are flawless. Debbie ships by us mail so shipping is very cheap.

I used the ones from Decal Connection and they are nicer than the Mudhole decals which I have also used. They are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I did not find they needed CP or anything else prior to finishing. The important step seemed to be a very thing epoxy coat on the rod blank, then apply the decal, then 1 coat of finish over the decal. You can't see the edges and I thought it came out perfect. I also used their alignment dots.
