I have a question about waterslide decals. How exactly do they work? Can one make/print them on their own on a home printer? I have a Punisher custom that I very much don't want to paint the skull on and I would like to put some manner of decal on a hat for a custom character using the Retaliation Clutch headsculpt. If it's not something I can do own, does anybody produce decals for Joe's? Thanks!

Yes you can print them at home. Amazon and ebay sells them for like a $1 a sheet.

The Testors decal is what I use:
Testors » Testors » Modeling Tools & Accessories » Decals » Custom Decal System There are some issues, especially with what you want to do--a home inkjet does not print white, so the clear decal sheet can't be used as sparks mentioned. The white paper may work if you have the printer just print the black around the skull. My printer sometimes has a little trouble getting an even cover of black ink. You might try printing this way and applying the decal, and then painting black over the black ink to fill it in if there are problem spots. Basically, the decal becomes a guide for your painting.
