Polishing models with decals
Published:
December 1, 2007 | Q: I've been having trouble polishing models with decals. It seems that every time I polish, the sanding goes through the finish and chips the decal.
I realize that a few things could be at fault: wrinkled/loose decals, using too much pressure while sanding, or not enough clear coat. I usually put on four coats of clear over decals.
Is there a better way, or something I should do to prep the decals before clear coating and polishing?
