This morning, I put the first decal in the water and to my surprise it started coming off the paper within seconds. By the time I blotted it free of water, the decal had already lost the ink and folded on itself. My second attempt almost made it to the car. I thought maybe the coating that was sprayed was too thin. I took the rest of the project outside and gave it another (Heavier) coating with the spray bonder. It will be at least 3 hours before I try it again. I have a great deal of love for Microscale decals because they have always been consistent and was very surpirsed at the speed in which the Testor's came off in the water. 8 seconds compared to 1 minute or so is a bit fast for me. The ink in the decal will run a bit possibly because it had not enough time to dry before I coated it. I do have a spare paper to recreate the project on from my saved files, and will give the ink plenty of time to dry and a heavier coating this time around. Lee
