Decals

 

Metallic decals work much like decals used on windows or model cars. They come sheets and can be cut up as desired for inclusion in your work. Use decals to add a metallic design to your work at much less expense than using dichroic glass. Many patterns are available in several metallic looks including Platinum, Antique Bronze and Gold.

Fill a shallow pan with water. Cut out the piece of decal you wish to use from the sheet. Peel off the thin waxy layer of paper that protects the decal (not the white paper). Float the decal in the water for several minutes (not so long that it floats off the paper though). This will loosen the white paper. Pick up the decal and slide it off the white paper. Maintaining the same orientation (don’t flip it up side down) slide the decal onto the glass. Decals must be dry before firing. Metallic decals should be fired in the range between 1400-1415 degrees F.

TIPS: Make sure the glass is clean to insure full adhesion. All pieces of the decal must lie flat on the glass; they will not flatten out during firing. Decals can be used on the surface or included inside a piece.
