Pattos Place waterslide decals

Hi,

He's undergoing surgery and so I don't wish to bother him with questions.

I'm curious about his water slide decals, are they pre-cut?

His peel and stick aresn't as he mentions needing to cut them to shape.

Man, he has a VAST array of amazing decals, what a treasure!

No, the decals are not precut. It's one large sheet. Also do not use normal clear coats. Bruce recommends Future type clears. Pending on the sheet you want, he'll do background deletes. Doing this will make it easier place decals. The decals are nice and thin and I find I dont need to use very much microsol unless its over a complex curve. Just use lots of water to get it into place as they can be somewhat fragile.

Thank you sir.

Much appreciated.

I have used his decals quite a bit lately to build up some NASCAR models.  Some observations of mine.

The decals may not fit your model very well.  They are usually scaled to fit the slot cars he sells.

Do not use decal setting solution unless you absolutely have to, and then use a mild solution.  The decals have a tendency to wrinkle when using a setting solution. 

Also take a look at the sheet closely.  The creator of the decals have on occasion left off some of the markings. 

But you are correct, his catalog is the most extensive, and his is the only game in town for a lot of the cars they do.
