Multi Colour Decals - Hi-Fire
These colourful and fun decals can be used to jazz up your fused or slumped pieces, and make lovely and inexpensive Christmas presents.
The decals should be fired at full fuse temperature or at slumping temperature for float glass.
NOTE: AREAS ON THESE DECALS WHICH APPEAR WHITE ARE, IN FACT, CLEAR, SO FOR BEST RESULTS, FIRE THE DECAL ON A WHITE GLASS, RATHER THAN FLOAT GLASS.
They can either be fired on top of the glass or between layers of glass. If you are firing them between two layers of glass, place a tiny piece of clear frit or clear stringer in each corner, to enable the air to escape and reduce the likelihood of trapping lots of bubbles.
The decals are very easy to use. You only need a bowl or flat dish of lukewarm water, a squeegee or clean cloth, and Windex (or a similar product glass cleaning product).
First, thoroughly clean the glass to which the decal is to be applied.
Fill a bowl (or flat dish) with clean, lukewarm water. If you intend applying lots of decals, make sure you change the water regularly.
Soak one decal at a time in the water until the decal starts to uncurl and flatten out. Do not leave the decal in the water too long, as it will detach from its backing sheet and become very difficult to handle.
Remove the decal from the water and gently slide it from its backing sheet into its desired position on your glass. Try not to move the decal around too much, as this may leave a residue or film on the glass.
With your finger on one edge of the decal, gently run the squeegee over the decal to remove any remaining water and air bubbles beneath the decal. If you don’t have a squeegee, gently pat the decal surface to remove any water/bubbles.
Allow the decal to dry for four to eight hours (or overnight). Before firing, gently clean the glass – paying particular attention to the area around the decal – with Windex (or similar product). Be very careful not to touch or wet the decal. The decal is now ready for firing.
