I checked the search and didn't see this topic. Can a decal be applied over thread with success?

Hi David,
Only if you put a good coat of finish on and let it dry, apply the decal then another coat of finish.

The smoother the surface, the better the decal looks and adheres.

I just did a rod for a customer. I put the decal on the threads before I put finish on and there was a lot of air stuck behind the decal. I even tried to put a fine needle to let it escape to no aveil. Put fish on first before you put the decal on. You live and learn.
