[QUOTE="Jim Bush, post: 174830, member: 3807"] I can finally confirm the successful application of VOC waterslide transfers, using 2 pack Urethane Clear Coats (House of Kolor, USC01 Show Klear). The black base is HOK Urethane solid black. The waterslide transfers were applied to polished clear coat, let dry overnight and then buried in another 3 coats of clear. Light initial coat applied allowing to dry well 30mins, then applied the final 2 coats with a dry time 20min between coats. Clay above described the key to the application, which is applying to a non-flatened surface. I had a three failed attempts with a previous tank and had given up using the water slides and had sourced vinyl decals, which worked well. In this instance, I had the required decals in waterslide transfers and figurerd I would try one more time. After the gold leaf lines were covered over with 2 coats of clear - I wet sanded the imperfections with 2000 grit and machine polished the areas under where the transfers go. The water slide transfers were applied in the usual way, making sure to remove excess glue around the edges, and allowed to dry overnight (actually 2 nights). The final show clear coats were applied as noted above - slowly, allowing to dry/flash well between coats. The final result is stunning. [/QUOTE]
