In the past I have ordered many water slide decals from them and always have been very satisfied with their quality. Now I see they have only peel n stick. I need to order a few
and was wondering how peel and sticks are working out for you guys.I have never used peel and stick before. any precautions or anything I need to be aware of ? Any input or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you, Tom Re: Decal Connection Question !

Like everything else with DC, it's all top notch and easy to use. I think you'll like PnS as well as the water slide I'm sure you know don't touch the sticky back and leave a finger print. Re: Decal Connection Question !

Great decals, with the backing cut exactly around the decal. That is no small thing and it makes application much easier.
You have to put down a layer of epoxy first, then the decal , then another layer of epoxy. There is no need for CP which some here advocate. Anyway, I used the decals from a competitor first, and the Decal Connection ones are much better (and less expensive!). Drew Re: Decal Connection Question !

I have been using their stuff for several years, great products, and easy people to deal with. The new peel and stick decals work great, they do provide instructions with them. As posted above you do need to get a very flat layer of epoxy down first, then the decal, then another layer of epoxy for the best results. Re: Decal Connection Question !

Decal Connection now has a peel and stick solution that lets you slide their decals around like waterslide decals. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe someone else has and can comment on it? Re: Decal Connection Question !

This may be different than what some of you do, but I lay down a thin layer of epoxy, the gently wipe it with a coffee filter. This puts a very thin layer of epoxy on the blank and virtually assures you of a flat surface to apply the decal on. Just my way of doing it and after I apply the decal, I do not use CP. Have never had a problem. Tom, I agree with the others here, Debbie at DC is tops. Can't ask for better people to work with. I e mail her an order, a few days later it's in my mail box.
