    Butterflygirl24 is right. The water slide decal paper works great. I have had 0 issues with bleeding after using the Bonder spray. Print it out, let it dry and then spray a couple of thin coats on it. Works great. Best part is both of these products can be found at hobby lobby so you should be able to run to a local store and save on shiping cost.

    You need this

    and then spray with this

    Butterflygirl24 - Not sure if you have tried this spray or not. If you haven't give it a shot. I was having all kinds of problems with bleeding then I used this stuff and haven't had an issue since.

    Quoted from Butterflygirl24:

    Vett have you cleared over the testor spray?? If so and it has no adverse reaction with the clear, then I gotta get me some of that for sure!!

    Haven't tried it yet. I have a couple of sheets and some clear sitting around. I'll spray one to make sure but I doubt it will be a problem as the testor spray is meant for model decals and most builders will clear their car, plane, etc once completed. I'll let you know and take pictures as I go.

    Quoted from SDFworker:

    Here's a small kit with everything for $8. I will see if our Hobby Lobby has and report back also. I have some more clearing to do soon.

    Not to bad. You'll want more than 1 sheet or each though, trust me

    Butterflygirl24 - Here are some pics. Keep in mind that I didn't really work to hard to make things perfect as I was just testing to see if the clear would take. I didn't use my good clear (just rattle can paint) or even set up a clean enviroment (sprayed it on the back patio). Today was also 50 degrees with high humidity. Long story short is it can be way better when done right. From the test it looks like it shouldn't be an issue at all. Just make sure everything dries well before you start but I don't think I need to tell you that anyways.

    Pic 1 - the decal off the printer. I used draft so it's not as nice as it could be. Again, just a test to make sure it didn't bleed or react poorly.
    Pic 2 - products I used
    Pic 3 & 4 - The decal on a trash piece of plexiglass No prep work at all. Just wiped clean and installed the decal.
    Pic 5 - 7 - Shows that their wasn't any bleed and the clear layed down without reacting poorly.
    Pic 8 - Shows thin the decal is even with clear on it. I didn't wet sand or anything so it could be a lot better with more care taken.

    Hope this helps out.

    P.S. - The lines in the decals are the crummy printer I have. Not the decals fault.
