RonSpencerUK Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hello All I hope this is the right forum for this topic. I bought some vinyl markings for an indoor 'fun-flyer' that I've made using EPP. I spray painted the model with Tamya acrylic paint and the with acrylic satin varnish. The markings just don't stick down. I over-sprayed them with varnish but they just lifted off . Anyone had success with decals/stickers on EPP? I could try spraying the markings but masking is a pain for the same reason: it just doesn't stick very well. Any thoughts gratefully recieved.

RonSpencerUK Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi Simon and Ken Thanks for the replies. The decals are supposed to be self adhesive so I hadn't thought of adding extra glue to them. Good thinking! I'll try a few experiments with different glues and see what happens.

Sheldon Holy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah, the 3M spray mount stuff should fo it well. UHU-POR is what i first thought but it's a bit thick for a sticker. When using spray mount, be careful as it picks up dirty finger prints from a mile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
