Instructions:

1. Print off the decal paper as if it was normal paper, no need to adjust your printer settings. Leave to dry for about 30 minutes.

2. Spray the paper with at least 3 to 4 coats of acrylic or solvent based spray varnish. Leave to dry for a few minutes between coats.

3. Cut out your designs using a craft knife or pair of scissors. When using white decals cut carefully around the object if you do not want a white border.

4. Place the cut out decal into a bowl of water for 10-30 seconds. You can feel with your fingers the decal slipping away from the backing paper.

5. Place the decal onto your Hornby train and slowly pull away the backing paper.

6. Use a lint free cloth to carefully dab the surface of the decal, this will help soak up excess water and smooth out any air bubbles.

7. Leave the decals to dry for 24 hours or use a hairdryer if you wont to dry them quicker.
