Step 1: Print ImageCreate and print your design with an inkjet printer. Let it dry for a while. |
Step 2: Spray Acrylic CoatingSeal the print image with the clear acrylic spray. Spray 3 even coatings over the image allowing each coating to dry then spray again. Wait for it to dry completely. Tips: The ink will dissolve in water if the coating is not sprayed evenly. |
Step 3: Cut Out ImageUse scissors to cut out the image. Leave a border of 3 mm around the design for best results. |
Step 4: Soak In WaterSoak the deal in room temperature water for about 30~60 seconds or until the paper backing can slide easily. Take out the decal from the water. |
Step 5: SlidePlace the decal onto the desired surface with the image side facing up. Gently hold the edge of the decal while sliding off the backing sheet. Tips: Put some water on the surface for easier sliding. |
Step 6: Smooth and DryUse a paper towel or mini squeegee to remove air bubbles and excess water from behind the decal. Then let it sit to dry by nature. Tips: Ceramics can be baked in an oven at 230℉ for 10-15 minutes for more strong adhesion. Extra coat of epoxy resin can be used on the finished decal for more protection. |
