I’m not complaining, I like the water slide.

So this means gloss coating, then decal application, then overcoating with flat, adding 24 hours to the assembly time (You really should wait 24 hours for the gloss coat to dry before doing waterslides). Which means finishing in time for the Wednesday meeting is almost out of the question...

This is what causes "silvering" and edges that won't stay down. You can use all the decal setting solution you want (even the extinct Tenax, the good stuff), and they still won't look right.
