In Response To: Strip: decal under glass (Nick Riccardi)

: Hi All, This question is for the epoxy pro's,the boat building bug
: has bitten me again(it's a dirty job but someone has to do
: it)LOL!.I am thinking of putting a decal under the glass and
: need help,I use the seal coat system so... do I bed the decal in
: the sealcoat and wait for semi dry then glass or let sealcoat
: semi dry then place decal and cover with glass then epoxy.Thanks
: Nick R.

I do the decal under the seal coat, i.e. when I seal coat I put the decal on then, wetting it out with the seal coat. That way you can control it better- keeping it in the place you want it. If you try to do it under the glass while glassing and it moves around (which it will) you will be cussing (which you will!).
