How do i make rub on transfers

Posted by Phil hooner on 10 June 2007 at 20:57

Hi all i have been asked to make transfers for a modeling club, they are looking for the type that you put on to the subject rub the back with a coin or similar and the logo is then transferred onto the item required.
I have seen similar items for sale in craft shops over the years but now need to make my own anyone have any idea how i would go about this.

Thanks Phil

Hi Phil

It depends how many you have to do. If you are only doing short runs try this

The water slide ones are better I feel, I have used that for modelling stuff.

There’s also this http://www.pulsarprofx.com/DecalPRO/Ver … rview.html

Never used it so I can’t comment on how good they are etc.
If you do try it let use know how you get on.

Hi Phil

Did you try that link that Stephen left? I was wondering have you found a supplier in the UK?

I did look at the site and some of their on-line videos were quite informative, but i have ordered the dry decal sheets from the UK site listed above that one will hopefully have them to try out by the weekend.
i will let you know what the results are like.
