transfers on glazing

Post by JMORG » Tue May 23, 2017 11:38 pm

Hi all,
Just adding the finishing touches to FR van 2. It has "no smoking" signs that sticks to the glazing, can anyone recommend a good sealant to use that wont go opaque?
Cheers

Sometimes I use Canopy Adhesive to fix glazing in window frames. It looks like milk when applied but dries clear.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Hi Peter,
I'm not too sure how the transfers would react to canopy glue. Would you recommend it?

Humbrol sell a stuff called Decalfix, never tried it myself. But it might be worth a quick experiment.

Sorry but only used it on glazing where it does dry clear, not sure about transfers. Are they attached inside or outside of the windows?

Unfortunately, both the DJB and the IP transfers I have are external! I'll try a few test pieces before tackling the carriage! I'll post the completed article later in my broken ankle forum.

Could you use a double skin.... two thin sheets of glazing with the transfer trapped in between?
