GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS

1. If you have difficult shapes to decorate :
a) Warm the ware. This makes the decal softer on contact.
b) Slightly increase the water temperature in the decorating bowl.

2. If you see a halo or “ghost” around the decal after firing :
a) Check the decorating water is clean.
b) Have you fired at the correct temperature ?
c) Was the kiln correctly ventilated ?

3. To store the decal sheets in good condition :
a) Store in a dry place.
b) Do not store near sources of heat or light.
c) Do not store in cold areas.
d) We recommend storing at 60 – 70 F

4. If you live in areas of hard water it can be beneficial to add just the slightest drop of washing liquid. Do not add more than a drop as this can dissolve the adhesive gum from the paper.
