    Making Decals with a Jet Ink Printer

    Jerome - what you say makes sense. For my next project I will try a gloss coat and see if it gets rid of the ghosting. Thanks Gary

    Making Decals with a Jet Ink Printer

    Jerome - I have only ever used Dullcote, so I don't know. I always apply a coat of Dullcote to my models after the decals are applied to seal the edges and give a slightly weathered appearance.

    Making Decals with a Jet Ink Printer

    Hi Greg; I have made a lot of my own decals on my HP inkjet using Testors white and clear decal paper. For the most part they have turned out pretty well. The only tips that I can give you are to make sure to give the ink plenty of time to dry and then to seal the decals with Dullcote. Do not...

    Running Bear's LXXIII Coffee Shop

    Just about finished the two modules at the south end of the layout. Still need to add a few more trees and some signs. I don't want to solder any more chain link for a while!

    Going through a total loss of interest!

    Mark - I tend to go through spurts on the layout. For a while I will be all over a project and then like you I couldn't be bothered to even go in the room. I think for those of us like you and me that have winter 5 months of the year it can be easy to get depressed. For me I try to work...

    Running Bear's LXXIII Coffee Shop

    D. - my condolences to you and your family. I used to enjoy Eric's down to earth comments and how he was able to make his "beer run" no matter how he was feeling or what the weather was like. He reminded me a lot of Jeffrey who this thread is named after in that they both suffered from one...
