What you need to know about stickers

Then you certainly need better ones!

Seriously though, that paper decal's waaaay too big, and it's crooked. Try resizing it - and try some sticker paper; it sticks better to the torso, in my opinion.

Well that was my first one.

Actually normal paper works pretty well. I have a sealer/glue/glaze material that I put over top of decals and it looks really nice .

Then I reiterate. It needs a lot of work. Please take in mind my advice, and next time it'll look fantastic, I have no doubt.

What kind of sticker paper should I use? The papery kind Or is there another kind?

You can get transparent sticker paper, but for that you need a clean, white torso. So you could use white torsos, or brasso a clone torso in order to get it to be clean white...

I personally have no experience with stickers/decals, and am only assuming that they work logically.

Thanks, but where can I get transparent sticker paper?

OfficeMax has both white and clear. It's the Avery brand and it's called Sticker Project Paper. On he front it'll show if it's white or clear.

This is just something I did with the 2 sticker sets I have applied .

What I do is that I get a toothpick, and follow DP's method until step 2. What I do instead, is I leave a small flap on the side, and seperate the two sections using my fingernail, then stuff the toothpick inside, widening the gap until it pokes out the other end. Then I cut down using a sawing motion until I reach one end, then I peel the rest off with some stickers.

Yea that's basically the same idea as when you use tweezers.

When I get you items I will try both and see if it makes a difference.

Well, aside from the danger that you might push the toothprick too hard and through the sticker, no.

Oh well, I just find the toothpick technique easier.

You can just pull it completely off with your fingernail. Stop making it so complicated! The hard parts are getting your fingernail in the right spot to peel, and applying the stickers.

How do you put on clone helmet decals do you just place it over the other one or do you have to redo the helmet???????
