| Biplane guy: I suggest instead of using the Graf-x stick-type, try purchasing a small package of blank decal sheets. Most are available through Hobby Lobby or other fine arts and craft stores. They come either white or transparent backgrounds depending on your needs. My guess is to use the white background sheet as ink-jet printers do not print out white ink. The white background will make up for this by simply you making an outline of the letters/numbers then carefully cutting them out "INSIDE" the outline so as to eliminate the outline altogether.

Then dip the brush into the Micro Set and mix it in by rubbing the brush all around the same desired area. Afterward, I apply the Micro Set on top of the decal. Allow it to dry thoroughly. II'm going to post additional info on my next pos |
