I just finishedd lettering the N&W 53"6" gon from CrierGray using Decals from Komar. The instruction sheet has 2 guides for application of Komar decals.The "standard way" is the method I used, following his guiding words. He reccomends using Solvaset thinned 50-50 with water. Idid this and after drying overnite I could see some of the decal edges. I lightly brushed straight Solvaset over the problem spots and Viola! decal lines gone! Greg's decals are very thin and need to be worked very carefully. I have just finished the dullcoat application and will try to get some pics out soon.
