Application Instructions - Waterslide Decals

Click Here to order these transfers directly from us directly to save money :)

As these transfers are printed with a laser printer, they are inherently waterproof and do NOT require pre-sealing before using like with some inkjet printed transfers.

Cut around the picture as closely as possible.
Put the transfer in water for 30 seconds. The paper will roll up. TIP - Using warmer water will make the transfer film slightly more pliable and stretchy.
Rub it carefully between the fingers in order to remove the transfer foil.
Now you can position the foil on the desired surface.
For larger designs, try and slide off the transfer directly on to the substrate.
To avoid air bubbles, streak with your fingers or a soft rubber squeegee over the foil.
Remove leftover water, you can dab the transfer with a soft sponge.
Let it dry for 3 hours.

To make the transfers more durable, cover them with a clear coat lacquer/seal.

Absolutely fabulous service

Submitted artwork while they were on shut-down, but as soon as they returned they got in touch and within a day I had the first proofs. Sadly due to a miscommunication they were not quite right, nevbertheless they printed a new set and we had them the following day. Cannot rate these guys highly enough.

Excellent company to use, quick reply, great advice and work from Phil. Product looks fantastic on the headstock of the guitar. I got totally what I required and when I need more will definitely be in contact again. Top rated, cannot fault any of the service. Thank you. Graham Hook

Extremely high-quality printing, excellent customer service and rapid delivery. If every company and organisation operated like this, the UK would be a different place. Highly recommended

1 1/2 scale model rider and motorcycle decals

Finding this company was priceless. I floundered on how and where to do my decals but Phil took all my requests and turned them around quickly, giving me everything I asked for. I’m still finishing off my two year scratch build project and will need more decals soon, so these guys will be the only company I turn to. I have a future project of a similar vein so I’ll be returning for more decals. Thank you for such great work and a quality product

High quality print and fast turnaround

Fist time using Phoxy and they didn't disappoint. The print quality of the decals was very good and the turnaround very fast. Fist application on a model after trimming to the print line was first class and sealing after with matt varnish the carrier film disappeared.
