Re: Altec Decals - Group Buy
Looks good Marty, I like it!
Just as a FWIW, years ago a screen printer I worked with came up with a very cool decal idea using glue. He printed face down onto water release paper with the top (exposed) layer being rubber cement. For example on our decal you'd print face down, gold, then black, then glue. The decal is covered with a slick paper to keep the glue from drying.
To apply it, you stick it on to something, then soak the release paper with a sponge until it lets go of the ink. Voila! Decal stuck. And it looked just like you had screen printed it directly onto something, you saw no surrounding glue or support, nothing. We stuck them on glass, fabric, stone, metal, wood, whatever. It was very clever. Only problem; shelf life was limited to the rubber cement staying gummy. About 1 week, IIRC.
