How to attach flag decals problem


Recommended Posts

Hi Pawel. I usually transfer them onto some very thin metal foil, which I usually source from a bar of chocolate. There are two ways you can do it: one option is to transfer the entire decal onto the foil and wait for it to dry before folding it in half, gluing it and then trimming the excess foil. Another way is to transfer on half of the flag only, and then wrap it around the other side of the foil. Once the flag has been trimmed from the foil I go over the edges with a little paint to stop light from catching the edge of the foil. Sometimes the decal adhesive doesn't hold and I have to stick it back down with a little PVA glue.

 

The advantage of using foil is that the flag can be shaped to have folds and contours to represent it flapping in the wind and will hold its shape well.

 

Hope that is of some help,

Ross.
