Kay Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Ok, i have done many many searches on here, but water slide decals & palm pillars kept saying no match found, when I know i have read it on here somewhere...Has anyone had problems with the water slide decals peeling off? I made my first one for my mom for mothers day, but i'm scared its going to peel off. Looks ok now, but will the roughness of the mailman mess it up? How "stay put" are they?

Candle Man Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Spray with 3 coates of clear coat before cutting out image, then after you put it on spray 3 coates over the entire candle and image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 You also need to make sure you clean the candle area you're putting the decal really well with alcohol. If not, the oils in the candle will deter the decal from sticking properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Wild question here: could one simply overdip the decal (and candle, of course) once it has been applied? Or does the heat of the wax mess it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
