Hi guys I’m new to this site, wanted know if anyone can help me please. I am
Casting some parts using polyurethane resin and once finished I am applying dry rub decals on them. When I apply them they look really stuck on and good. A couple of days later they start to come off in in areas, like tiny little bubbles coming off. Now I have not degassed the resin so not sure if this is the reason why? Can anyone help?

I’ve never used decals on cured resin without pouring a layer of clear over the top to adhere them down. Is that an option for you?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response, tbh I haven’t used anything like that, I have just sanded the parts surface down to a smooth finish then applied the dry rub decals, I guess I can apply some top, do you have any recommendations in which one I should use?

Thanks

Any clear doming resin should work. You can find several in our store here:

I’ve checked this method out and I think it’s not right for the project Im working on, for mine it should simply be more of a process involving 1)cast part 2)prepare surface 3)apply dry rub decal. So still need to troubleshoot this problem. Right now the only thing in my mind is that the resin needs to be degassed But may be wrong
