    Default Decal Paper Question?

    Hey guys need some help on what type and where to ourchases some higher grade decal paper. The stuff I got at hobby lobby was garbage. It was way to thick and a nightmare to work with. I want something closer to what GW uses as i can make those decals look really nice and they are easy to work with. Thanks in advance. SNS

    Out of interest what were you using?

    I have recently purchased some of [URL="http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MD&Product_Cod e=TF-0"]this stuff[/URL]. It seems pretty thick also but I havent tried it yet.

    Sorry, that link is not the right one, try [URL="http://www.bare-metal.com/"]this one[/URL] instead.

    Well, what I also noticed when I was shopping in my local hobby store is that there is different decal paper types depending on your printer type, inkjet vs laser. My printer is an inkjet and the paper did seem to be thicker, I was tempted to just grab the Laser one and go for it.............

    Actually, now that I open the packet it came in, it seems pretty similar (dont have a digital micrometer with me) in thickness. I might give it a go in the future, I bought the wrong one for white though..............bugger.
