need a decal

Post by LyleW »

I need the "UNITED STATES" decal. If someone has spares or can help me find one online that would work, too. Apparently, I haven't found the right combination of key words to search with. I had a sheet of various sizes of letters/numbers that was unopened. It had just the right size but in individual letters. I cut them out and every single one shattered upon application.

I fired up the Silhouette cutter and made a mask with both the Oramask 810 film and Tamiya tape sheets. The Oramask sheet would not lay down in the corrugatied areas. The Tamiya sheets did a little better, or so I thought. Nope. Plus, there is the PITA of trying to get that piece of the "A" put in place. Not a good day.

I had the original decal n place, had applied Solvaset and let it sit overnight. Picked it up, dabbed a bit more on it, let it sit a bit. Went to do another decal in a bit and the "STATES" had come off and was ruined. My fault.

Anyway, if anyone can help with suggestions or a replacement, I would be grateful.

Thanks.`
