I've got a question regarding waterslide decals and when to apply them. My playfield is pretty bad, the color is flacking in some areas and many parts are beyond a simple repaint.
My plan is as follows:
1.Get the dirt off using ME and isoprop and take off the mylar and the glue. Since it's an old playfield I assume using a heat gun should do the trick.
2. Give the playfield one or two light coats of clear.
3. Apply the decals (a lot of them) to all areas and repaint the others with acrylics.
4. Give the playfield a light and a heavy coat of clear.
Now I'm totally unsure how long I have to wait to apply the decals to the first clearcoat? The clear I'm using is dry after 12h (according to the manual), is this enough or should I wait longer? Next question would be the time the decals have to "sit" on the playfield before they are ready to be coated?
