Quick question...i have never used Perma gloss...can it be applied directly over Decals, both Water slide and Peel and stick...Thanks in advance

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Really depends on the material the decal is made from. PG has a couple of pretty hot solvents in it and can melt or distort some decals if they're not sealed.

Thanks Tom...appreciate the help..i'm trying to find a substitute for Epoxy on White Blanks and the respective Decals on White Blanks,in order to eliminate Yellowing..Thanks again!!

PG will stay water white clear forever, but you're going to have to seal those decals in most cases.

..............

Tom, what do you recommend to seal with prior to the Perma Gloss

Use your wife's laquer based hair spray. A quick shot of that, wait an hour and another quick shot. Next day apply the PG. Works like a charm.

I thought I was the only one who used Hair Spray It is a lacquer and drys fast

Back around 1982 I proved to Dale Clemens at a seminar for RodCrafters here in WA, that I could make his Brilliance CP by useing Elemers White glue and water. He was amazed when I proved it to him. There isn't much I haven't tried. Some tihings with success and some with disaster. That is how we learn. When we learn, then pass it on, we are doing our best. :>)

Clemens Brilliance was not an acrylic like the Flex Coat and Trondak products (which are the same).

...............

In the 1980"s Flex coat was acrylic just like Brilliance. I don't know what it is now.

I use Krylon Matte or clear; 3 coats. Then apply the decal and use 1 coat of CP around the edges only. I use both waterslide and peel n stick media printed on an inkjet.

I have certainly never heard of the Elmer's as a CP. That's a trip. BTW, do you know how to get in contact with Dale Clemens these days?
