DECAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS PREPARATION: prior to applying your decals, use alcohol to thoroughly clean your glazed piece where the decal will be placed. APPLICATION: place the decal in a bowl of warm water. The decal will curl. Leave it in the water until it relaxes (approximately 20 seconds). Remove the decal from the water. With the use of your thumb and index finger, slide the decal from its paper backing onto the glazed ware. Position the decal with your fingers to the desired location. Absorb the excess water with a paper towel or soft cloth. Using a latex squeegee, working from the center of the decal outward, work out all the air bubbles and water. You will be amazed how much water and air will be removed! (any air remaining under the decal when fired will result in "pop" marks that will spoil the look of your finished piece.) Once you are satisfied that the decal is properly applied, and has thoroughly dried, you are ready to fire your glazed ware. When applying decals to a rounded surface, follow the same procedure, except pre-warm your glazed ware in your oven, or run under warm water. A warmed surface will help keep the decal relaxed for ease of application. Fire to .017 or as instructed by your kiln manual. DECALS ON STAIN/ACRYLIC:1.
