caaw Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Hi folks need some advice i have a KS helmet and some trooperdude decals to put on and renew the old ones. My question is how do i apply the deacls do they self stick namely the fish hook. looks like its on backing paper. Also i have a new nose piece from dJ in the Uk but the nose isnt the full grey oval it ends at the line so its just the rectangle. With the mic tip. Will this pass muster?
EnigmaEngine Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 While I can't say I've applied decals to a helmet, I assume it works just like the 501st ones I've applied to my car. Make sure the surface is clean and dry. Apply the decal with the paper backing, smoothing it flat. Leave it on, backing and all, for 12-24 hours. Slowly peel off the backing; the decal should remain in place.
Chunk Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Not sure about the decals. But wanna say my fish hook was a press & rub. For the snout i cut a piece of flat plastic & made a backing, then glued the snout on.
cucblack Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 If I understand, the backing paper is the transfer system. It comes in paper, transparent or colors sheets.
caaw Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks guys think that makes more sense now. Just need to work out the nose piece.
spookymufu Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Leave it on, backing and all, for 12-24 hours. Ive never heard that before, I have just rubbed em as I rolled em on to get the bubbles out and then peeled the backing off at the same time
Donovan Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 My sc decals were just like stickers lol, you peel em off the page and put them on. They're just really nice stickers
scout.trooper Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 My replacement fish hook was a grey vinyl sticker. Peel off the protective plastic then place it sticky side down with the paper side facing you. Give it a good press and rub then pull the paper off. Ta da!
