Rob,

I've had great success with 2k clear over apron decals.

To be honest I suspect the bunnings 1k stuff may react.  Generally there is extra decal - the same material just outside of the decal.  If that makes sense.

Maybe trim a bit of the spare stuff off and spend $6.00 on a can and give it a whirl.


think I'll give that a try thank Marty and see what happens. Gotta admit this classic arcade decal is pretty ordinary in respect to keeping things authentic. The colours and font seem quite off. I would expect better from a licenced product. I did a water decal that was much better but couldn't do an A3 print and the decal material seemed thicker than what I expected. Hence trying this now. If this works ok, my next move is doing the scan and getting an embryon decal made locally. At least the fonts will be true and hopefully the colours

Hi Rob
Haven't forget about the Embryon apron art - will get it done this week if you still need it. (Have been on a pinball free couple of months)
Your shooter decal looks good - why not do the apron in a waterslide decal (decals are a lot thinner than vinyl)
The left and right side stripe will fit on A4 - have the join where they meet at the centre.
I don't  bother sealing the apron - The apron is pretty well protected when the glass is on.

no worries Milsy, be interested to see the water slide decals you buy. Maybe the ones I got were thicker and not as nice. I was expecting a bit like the ones you get with model airplane kits.
