Anyone had any experience of applying these?

I have a big run of them to do for a Pullman Railway carriage restoration job-
They are brand new re-pros, and have the image in reverse onto clear cell- then onto stiff white paper (on the front).

I hav'nt done any for a while, and not sure i ever knew much of what i was doing last time

Last ones I did where 80 years old thou...and had been rolled up for the last 50 in a dusty drawer.

Wayne,

I don't think I've run in to this animal. Sounds a bit like a large water released decal, sort of like what is used on models, but I'm not really sure that's what you have there.

Sorry, I can't help on this one.

Hi Wayne,
Just asked my dad how he used to do them and he last did one about 40 years ago.
He used to cut them to shape then paint the surface with gold size, when to a tack stick to the job and then soak the paper carrier film off them.
If they are a simular type give that a go.

Let me know how you get on.
