Applying your decal: • 1. Begin by removing the wax paper that is protecting the decal, if present. (If it is present, it will be obvious, don’t worry!) • 2. The decals are water slide release, which means that the decal is printed on paper that is coated with a water-release adhesive made out of cornstarch. Thoroughly wet the decal in a bowl of warm water until it uncurls – this usually takes 30 seconds to one minute. Do NOT let the decal sit for more than a minute or two in the water! • 3. Place the wet decal on top of your glazed ware. You should find that the decal releases easily from the backing paper with little or no resistance. If you find that the decal is not releasing, however, quickly re-wet and allow the decal another few seconds to allow the glue to soften. • 4. When properly wetted, the decal will slide straight from the backing paper and should NOT be flipped over. Gently position the decals as desired on clean, glazed ware. Using a small squeegee (a soft rubber rib is great for this), and a lint-free cloth, gently press and push the water from the center of the decal toward the edge of the decal. You should follow a clockwise motion around the piece, starting with a gentle push and increasing the pressure by increments at the end of each rotation. Ideally, your goal here is to squeeze all water and air bubbles from underneath the decal. • 5. Once applied, you shouldn’t be able to move the decal. Clean the surface with a damp, lint-free towel to remove any watermarks, and then use a dry lint-free towel to wipe it clean. We suggest allowing the decorated wares to sit in a dry environment overnight, or wait at LEAST a couple of hours before firing. • I am a freelance ceramics teacher and potter.
