Waterslides Help?

[Comrade kitsunefyn]

I was applying the waterslides to my Saix this afternoon, only to have them constantly curling and falling off as soon as they dried up or if I put my finger on them. One actually fell to pieces!

I guess I'm wondering why? Is there a "true drying" period, like let them sit 30 minutes before applying pressure to them, or am I not letting them soak long enough?

I don't think the sheet is bad since I applied a few earlier this week and they are perfectly fine.

Thanks for the help!

I think I've heard of people using some kinda preservation stuff to let it stay but the instructions would've mentioned that.... :s I haven't experienced waterslides yet.

Sadly I'm not familiar with waterslides either... Think I'll keep an eye on this thread before I try putting them on my Saix.

You should have them soak for 30 seconds and right after you apply one, take a brush and remove the excess water. Then finally take a piece of wet paper towel and go over it gently. That should seal it then.

^^ I do something very similar, but instead i use a q-tip and wipe it. Also, it helps when going around small decals that need finer attention!
