How can you apply the water slide decals to the shields and make them stick? The decals has no hole in the center while the center of the shields has

Arthur Macon is correct. However, paint the center gunmetal or whatever color you choose prior to emplacing decal. I just took photos to post but not sure I can here. Its tedious which is why I have a ship with no shields sitting on my Iraq artifacts. I did not use Micro_Sol, but I will certainly purchase it to test its capabilities. I just used very tiny bareli visible droplets of crazy glue. But I had to cut each shield a hole with a razor. I have a few that look great but no I did not complete it and its been sitting there almost a year I think. lol. Good luck homes.

We actually didn't use the decals and painted the shields ourselves, but the decal goes on the opposite side as the hole. The side with the hole is the back side of the shield.

I sliced the center with a razor knife, like cutting a pie, into four sections. Then used Micro_Sol to set the decal on the shield. By cutting the center it will allow it to lay down. To finish I painted the center iron color to match historical shields.

Hi Nader. I just kind'a squoze 'em down. Not a good solution, but the only one. (Interesting little app Amazon has here. More'na a year ago that I bought this item.)

Haven't tried it yet, but I think if you punch the center of the decal with a skewer, it should fit over the center and lie down .......... more or less.

I put mine just a little bit outboard of the center. Also, I found that you should use white silicone caulk (not latex or siliconized latex). It really needs to be pure silicone. I run caulking on the undersides of the guard and press it in place. Then, I caulk the seams everywhere the guard meets the wall or tub. I've had good luck with this method.

Hi Jenny,Yes its 1 piece.There is a clear plastic covering that you place over the whole decal & thats when the decal sticks to that plastic. You tgen carefully apply the sheet to the area where you want it & rub from the inside to the outer edges to get rif of thr air bubbles that may be present. Then carefully peel the plastic back, as you do this the decal will stick to the wall. However, in some areas it may come up with the plastic if this happens just place the plastic for that area back down & rub thr plastic hard with your finger or nail then try removing it again, repeat til sticks to the wall.Good luck & once its done its definetly beautiful.

repaste - it should stick. I took a warm damp washcloth over it when I was done to smooth out the bubbles. god luck!

change the direction of the arms and then run water thru it...make sure they are turning in the correct direction in order for it to move forward...I've done the same..... also make sure that the stop underneath it is not triggered/stuck

If the slides are in plastic mounts, there should be two round points where you can apply pressure and "pop" the weak heat bonds applied at these points to "lock" the slides in place. With cardboard mounts, I use a razor blade to start peeling the cardboard layers apart, which releases the slide. Either way, the old mounts will be destroyed and need to be replaced.

On our set the designs (stickers??) are painted on the plastic. Nothing to peel off.

I believe the decals are already on it. There is some assembly required, but it's not bad at all. Everything pretty much slides into place, there is no glue involved. Also, you will need to tie the parachute and the string that attaches to the top cap of the rocket, so once it hits it's highest altitude, the top pops off and the parachute comes out to allow it to float back tot he ground. Hope this answers your question.

I have a three year old energetic (and sometimes destructive) boy and he has yet to try to peel them off. Perhaps it hasn't occurred to him yet? Also, when i applied the decals, I pressed hard. So hard that, when I needed to move a branch a touch, I really had to pick at it with my nail to get it started peeling off. I hope this helps.

I would think you might have problems if your walls are textured a lot. Our walls were smooth but we had a few bumps that showed right through the decals, so we leveled the spots down.

The decals are not all the same size. Relative to the dimensions of each size....I have a better suggestion. One of the individuals who posted feedback on this product also supplied photos(or a video) - I can't recall which - of her application of these decals. Look through the feedback and I think it is probably still there. Good luck.

Hello, Unfortunately wall decals do not stick very well to heavy orange peel textured walls. They are only meant for slightly textured walls. Thank you. Simple Shapes

They are not permanent. You can re-position them if you need to, but they're aren't easy to move multiple times because they adhere to the wall really nicely (just not with adhesive). I started setting up this Elsa one, and realized I didn't leave myself enough space, I was able to move three sections of it carefully and it did not remove any paint from the freshly painted walls. They look really amazing once they are up, but measure the space you are putting them in, they are larger than what you might think, and it's difficult to tell from the packaging because this Elsa sticker comes in five or six different pieces.

I purchased three of these for my Winchester safe and all three of them stick to the liner very well using the Velcro tabs included. Each Velcro tab includes two pieces stuck together. One side of the Velcro sticks very well to the liner; the other does not. Did you try just using one piece applied to the liner?

There actually weren't any directions that came with the stickers, unfortunately. We had to figure it out ourselves. What you need to do... and hopefully I can explain this as simply as possible... is peel the back sticker off and stick the sticker to the wall with the top coat still attached. Once you have the ticker on the wall how you like it, use a paint scraper and push against the top sticker to press the letters on the wall. While pushing the scraper across the top film part, pull it up slowly so that the letters will stick to the wall instead of coming up with the top part. Does that make sense??

In my case , the tips of the legs and the small trees were coming off the walls within a few hours. The rest of the decal is sticking fine but it's only been a few days since I put it up . No, it does not peel the paint.

That's a great question....here's the thing....you have to rub these from the transfer paper onto the wall...they are pretty easy to do and I used a credit card to do it....but on textured walls, it might be tricky due to the fact that you might not be able to properly rub the decal into the wall or you might miss areas (depending on the type of texture), which would cause air pockets to get under the decal and it probably would end up not being applied well enough to last. I would suggest going to maybe a Walmart or Family Dollar store that sells decals at a low price and get something small and test it. They are pretty easy to remove when you are done too. Don't get the kind that auto-stick to the wall, try something that needs to be rubbed in w/a card. Best of luck ! These things are awesome, I have several of them ! Hope it works out !
