OK, common sense says if you want to apply dry transfer decals, you need to make a straight line! On windows for structures, I assume you can mark a line on a piece of board and then tape the window so that you line everything up properly. Then instal it in the structure. But! without drawing a pencil mark on the painted structure, what do you guys sugest for applying dry transfers to the building!
Thanks,
David
Cut a strip of masking tape with your Xacto knife, then position it just below the lettering and use it as a ‘guide’. Or if you like ‘decals’, get some blank stock, rub on the dry transfers to the decal stock, and overspray it with a flat clear spray paint. Then you can cut it out and position it like any other ‘wet slide’ decal…

I have had bad experiences with dry transfers. The main problem is they tend to dry out if not used right away. This makes them difficult to adhere to whatever surface you are trying to burni***hem on. My LHS has stopped selling dry tranfers due to their limited storage life. In addition, they do not react well when sprayed with dull finishes (cracks and wrinkles). I’ve had much better luck / results with wet decals.
Thanks for the repies, These W.S decals that are for the DPM structures, BUT!
there is no telling how long they sat in the LHS.
Will do the best I can with your sugestions
David
