I need help from u guys...
I just bought some decals from samuel decal.
And I found out that, when i try to rub the surface of the decal trying to get the air bubble out, the color actally came off.UhmUhm
So is there any way I can prevent it?
Or can I spray a layer of gloss coat on the decal before applying it??

Thank you...
What did you use to rub on the surface?
I didn't encounter adding colour being rub off from Samuel Decals.
I use a soft pointed brush to gently squeeze the air bubble out from the decal.
I use cotton butt to squeeze out the air bubble...UhmUhmUhm
did u use mark softener or something on the decal??

no didn't apply anything on the decal.
is when try to squeeze the air bubble, the colour came off.
so i was thinking is it the decal is protected by a layer of coating..
and is ok to spay a layer of gloss coat on top...
i did have the problem too , one of the decal colour came off , but that is after much weathering and some rubbing with turperntine.
Samuel decals are printed on extremely fragile papers, using an ALPS printer. As such, it's always a good idea to get a bottle of decal film protector(available at NoName shop) and brush all your ALPS printed decals with it first, allow it 48 hours to dry, then start to use it.
