We're in the process of repaint my son's bedroom. Having some new personalized stickers and decals for his walls would be amazing!!
Thank you 😊 I didn't know about the difference between clear and white water slide. And you showed me an easier way to remove the backing. 🙂♥️
Well Done, thank you! Never realized what anyone would want white ones for - because I'm usually using clear or white resin as a base. Thank you for the comparison!
Thank you for this. I was a little confused from the directions on the package. Much appreciated. ✅
Definitely the clear one. Thanks for the tutorial. You helped me decide what to order today
Great video. Thanks for showing the diff btwn clear and white waterslide paper.
+Sandra Watkins Were glad you found the video helpful!
Thanks! I'm doing a star trek 1:1200 scale enterprise refit. Never used water decals. Haven't built a model since childhood 80's. Just applied the first one. Works like magic. Very helpful. Again sincere thanks.
Awesome!! Good luck on the project

Thank you, just what I was wanting to see
Hi, Great tutorial. Who’re side do you place the decal paper in the printer?
Do you also carry the waterslide papers in the 11x17 papers?
nice work.
Do I need to seal this with epoxy after it dries?
This is really helpful
do you have to just use Mod Podge Spray or is the liquid in the bottle OK ?
Hi there:) if I coat the water slide transfers with acrylic sealer (3 times as you say), how long can I leave the transfer sheets without using? Would it be possible to use the sheets in say a year? I assume the sealer's function is simply to make the ink resistant to water. Thanks for your time :)
In theory, you can leave them indefinitely. They shouldn't degrade at all unless they are left in the sun
Thank you
If I print and seal text on a clear Waterside Paper, will a dark surface show true color through the empty parts of the decal?
Are 3 coats of clear paint good enough to cover the clear edges of the decal, in your opinion?
When I spray acrylic sealer, the surface ends up not smooth, but slightly bumpy with all the spray droplets not spreading out. Is there a way I can get a smooth surface to match the rest of the ceramic?
Thanks for posting this, up voted, and subbed!
You could try rubbing it VERY GENTLY with 0000 steelwool or a white scotchbrite pad. You're not sanding, just scuffing the surface to get it smooth.
Hey micheal, I notice that you are not back in stock for the clear inkjet waterslides still. Are they discontinued?
We just restocked! You should be able to find it here: amzn.to/2HaPm6x
Bonjours j aimerais des renseignements sur le papier que vous utilisez et l'imprimante recommandée svp.
Hi there where can i get the waterslide paper from? and will the paper go through a laserjet ink printer??
Hi Tony, Thanks for the comment! You can purchase our Royal Elements waterslide decal paper here: www.amazon.com/Royal-Elements-Waterslide-Decal-Paper/dp/B07CDD6K69 We offer both inkjet and laser decal paper, both white and clear. Hope this helps!
This waterfall decal paper can be used with any, ordinary inkjet printer, correct?
Correct!!
Hi everyone, can I get some help? :/ I am having massive printing issues. My printer leaves scratch marks all the time and sometimes the print is totally unusable. My printer back feed uses wheels that make contact with the ink on the paper and leave marks, and my front feed keeps bumping into curved or elevated surfaces on the paper, scratching the ink. Does anyone know how this can be solved?
Many thanks in advance :)
What is the best type of paper to use for leather shoes?
I'm not sure what you're asking. Waterslide decal paper is for solid, hard surfaces only and would not stick to leather or cloth.
Any ideas how I can achieve white lettering ? My inkjet doesn't have white ink.
But traditional silk screening has full color spectrum. Traditional silk screening is too expensive and not an option.
Find someone with a rare ALPS printer. They can print in white or metallic color. No such thing as white ink for an inkjet. If you want white on paper, the printer leaves the paper blank.
after applying the waterslide on to the tumbler did you seal it with epoxy, modpodge or any other kind of spray sealer? this would be my first project & dont want to use epoxy since idk how to use it and pricy for now.
on your description you mention hairdryer or ovensafe, if i use hair dryer without a sealer to finish would it be safe to hand wash?
Great question! In order to fully seal and protect your waterslide decal you will have to epoxy over the waterslide decal. Alumilite clear casting resin is a good choice for this, and after sealing the decal it will be dishwasher safe.
If you just use a hairdryer without sealing over the decal with epoxy it will NOT be permanent, you will still have to either laminate or epoxy over it.
Thank you. I failed on waterslide😞 ink coming off...I got the epoxy you mentioned so imma gmhave to try another way. I sealed the waterslide before going to water I just keep wasting ink🤣😔

Hello can you tell me what method you use to seal glass bottles that have been painted? i.e. glam bottles I need to make sure it keeps its shine on the bottle and don't think I need to epoxy it
can you tell me about the making of these stickers?
Hey! Love this video. Can you explain a little more at 2:20 when you said you made this yourself you "epoxy"-ed it? I have put my waterslide on a mug and put in oven but it still comes off if i hand wash it. Can you also show or explain how you use the MODGE podge/ epoxy to seal it?
Use Brite tone top coat to seal it. Look up how use bright tone and it will show you how use it. Hope this helps.
so, do you seal it with the mod podge?
Yes! In this video we didn't show this step, but 3-4 coats of sealer is required to waterproof and strengthen the decal.
@@royalelementsofficial ok, thank you!
Hi , ty for this video very helpful.!!1 peace of this puzzle I still don't know. How do u get pics on that paper. Ur own pics/sayings & from internet. Desktop not my strong point. Can u help?
You would need to open a Word document or an image you have on your computer, then print it onto the waterslide decal paper.
Hi! Does it stays for long time after wash?
If you want it to be permanent, just spray some more sealer over the sticker once applied. Just make sure that it's compatible with the surface you're applying it to.
How does it stay on after washing
didnt find Waterslide Decal paper on the link u added
Which printer is best for this kind of printing?
A laser printer is best with dedicated laser paper. You don't have to spray the decal before applying.
Does the decal stay on the tumbler permanently or do I need to do something to make it permanent?
It will stay permanently, but it’s not waterproof.
How durable is a waterslide paper? What makes the decal adhere to the cup? Is it microwave and dishwasher safe?
Hi Claudia, thanks so much for the comment!! Waterslide paper is very thin. It is mostly used because it can be moved around on the object while it is still wet and it looks like it has been painted on your surface. Most people seal over it with epoxy (then it becomes waterproof). If you are looking for a more durable, long lasting sticker paper I would suggest looking at these:

When are the inkjet waterslide paper going to be back?
@@jeremiahmeraz9298 We should be back in stock on April 17th.
Royal Elements thank you
Bonjour j aimerais des renseignements sur ce papier et avec quelle genre d imprimante vous imprimer dessus svp
Could I use a dryer to dry faster?
Yes that works! Just don’t heat it up too close for too long or it may damage the decals. Good luck on your project Ky!
Is there anyway to make our water decal completely by ouselves ..
Not sure what you mean, you need the paper, spray, and printer
can i use this on my skin as a temporary tattoo for holloween?
No waterslide is meant for hard surfaces only, temporary tattoo paper would be a better option
can you use sublimation ink on waterslide??
Yes you can! You can sublimate & transfer to T-shirts actually. We wrote an article on how to do this recently: royalelements.com/sublimate-on-waterslide-paper/
isn't there another step after that? putting in the oven?
You say inkjet prints need fixing spray and that you leave it for 1 hour between coats. But how many coats are needed. Thank you. UK
2-3 is fine. Some waterslide paper doesn’t require a spray these days, even for inkjet
@@royalelementsofficialCan you recommend some good waterdecal papers? I am going to apply on my acrylic and abs nails. I want to make them dishwasher safe. (1 month of durability is enough).
But the nails cannot be baked because of not resistance to higher temperatures.
Could you provide a solution for me. Thank you
I would cut the outside shape of the image and leave the white in the middle.
Spends 6min explaining the difference between clear and white water slide. We got it in the first 10s...
I thought I was the only one thinking this. Lol
