I did see one being restored where the guy doing it sent off or downloaded the decal, Think more likely he sent off for a replacement, I think they're out there

I know a cocktail stick is a firm favourite for using that glue.. I do remember back in the day pushing the cement out of the tube onto the part I wanted to join, then spending the next two weeks scraping the excess glue away :)
The joys of tubes of cement

I will have a look, I know you use special paper and a inkjet which I dont have, its a special lacquer as well I was told you need to seal the decal once printed

No worries, Thought when I watched a video the guy said they are around if you look, I'm amazed you can get them but the world's a small place online and you can find anything

Had a productive day

New bench fitted and had a spray booth made from the remaining MDF I had kicking around

The Mrs can now stop moaning about me taking up the dining table with my equipment

We agreed she can have half the bench to do her hobby and mine is just for spraying. Mind you I did say she could airbrush nails in it too lol
