Starlight Jayhawk Build Part 26 White Decals

The white rectangle was set down first, followed by the white circle.

TIP: I learned the trick to layered decals - let them dry before laying down the second and third layers!

The three layers were slipping and sliding. Let one set up a bit before adding the next layer.



The lower decal shows the final result.

The upper decal was set down (wet for removal) to show the difference without the white color underneath.
The result was worth the extra effort. I was concerned about the thickness of three decal layers, it's hardly noticeable.

TIP: You get better results laying decals on a glossy surface. On a flat finish surface you can get "silvering". That happens when the decal doesn't have a smooth enough surface to grab onto.
