They are made to order, which takes 24 hours just to dry. We offer multiple shipping options, but the least expensive is First Class Mail Envelope, which is not fast. It can take up to two weeks using this method, but it is very inexpensive. We do all we can to ensure your satisfaction, but shipping is where we lose control for a time. Please select the shipping that suits your needs best. Most shipping methods provide tracking; however, the standard envelope only tracks when it is delivered, not where it is in its journey. It will also be marked \"Delivered\" once it hits your post office, not your home. Once you see it marked delivered, it will arrive as soon as your mail man drops it to your address.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpLast\"\u003e2.\u003cspan\u003e      \u003c\/span\u003eSome of these can be very small.

Cut decal to fit, in most cases the more precise the cut the better the decal will look. Clear backed decals will let the background through so they will be more forgiving. White backed decals will need to be cut precisely unless being placed on white surfaces. Decal installation is not an easy thing to do, it does take some experience and practice to get it right. Once you master it, it will completely change modeling as you know it. The ability to add custom decals will elevate your hobby to a new level..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2. Fill your bowl with room temperature water. Submerge your precut decal for 30-60 seconds or until the middle of the decal can easily be slid around. Remove from water.\u003cbr\u003e3. Quickly apply it to your clean decal surface. Position decal, backing side down and gently slide backing off. Keep the backing flush with your project as you gently pull it out from behind the decal. Press firmly, use your fingers, a damp cloth\/ paper towel, or a mini squeegee to remove air bubbles. Gently pad off any excess water.\u003cbr\u003e4. Let the decal set and dry for at least 3 hours. Don't expose to direct sunlight during this time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFaqs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\" type=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat is the optimal water temperature for soaking a decal?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween 77°F-86°F or 25°C-30°C.

Try soaking in hot water, you can scrape it off while it is soaking, or you could also use the product Goo Gone to remove the decal.

We use Microscale’s Micro Set and Micro Sol. You can also use Tamiya, Walthers or Testers. They are around $5-$6 a bottle. This solution will shrink the decals to better fit the surface, especially contoured applications and will really give you a nice-looking finished decal as it contours into any lines or elevation in the project. We have experimented with different brands and have found they are all pretty good so use the one you are comfortable with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWe feel honored when we get to help you with your hobby.
